My daughter is just a good year and has recently begun to eat independently. We currently have many plastic spoon, but she finds it much easier to eat even with this metal cutlery. We use currently still only the spoon and the fork. The fork is certainly in the long run to dull his (then we will probably switch to pastry forks), but currently for the first own experiments in dealing with the fork she's perfect, because you have to worry less because of injury and as long as the aufzuspießenden stuff are not too hard, already manages the impaling. The spoon we use most - it is the size of ideal (not too big, not too small) and by better resistance and a little sharper edge (compared to plastic spoon) it falls my daughter easier to maneuver a bit on the spoon , By nicely shaped handles made of plastic you are the spoon and the fork is also very good in the hand. In addition, the handles are slightly rounded, whereby the spoons falls easily (hand must not be placed on the plate all the way), but without being too rounded (then it would in fact be very difficult to get the spoon in his mouth - we already tried). Is also very nice that you can boil the cutlery.
Conclusion: Very well thought-out product, highly recommended, especially for the first independent Essversuche and getting to know the respective new piece of cutlery.
