Our 2 year old daughter loves her giraffe plate which is good to finish the plate - and thus see the giraffe; o) The compartments are convenient for her, deep enough food falls well within the spoon when you get to the edge, and allow to separate the food, so it can peck or mix the urge Emmental pasta for example. As against it does not like the sucker actually easily removed, perhaps we would use it if it was smaller but now that she decides is avoided, the soup stole a time ... Also, the water compartment can not be emptied completely - be careful when lava that nothing between donc- are perishable and I do not have much confidence in the seal (tested ok actually but eventually I avoid all that at the moment the soup is too hot than too cold)
