Everything You Need to Know
📦 What's Included?
Each order includes one Zuid Baba™ The Stay-Put Plate in your chosen colour. The plate features a strong suction base and 3 divided sections. Available in 4 beautiful earthy colours — warm beige, dusty blue, sage green, and dusty pink. Choose your favourite or collect them all!
👶 From What Age Can My Baby Use This Plate?
The Stay-Put Plate is ideal for babies and toddlers from around 6 months and up — once they're starting solids and sitting with support. The soft silicone edges are gentle on little gums and the suction base means it's safe even for enthusiastic self-feeders. It grows with your child and is suitable right through the toddler years.
🔒 How Strong Is the Suction?
Very strong! The suction base is designed to grip firmly to smooth, flat surfaces like highchair trays, wooden tables, and plastic surfaces. Simply press the plate down firmly to activate the suction. To release, gently lift one edge of the plate — it comes off easily for adults but stays put for determined toddlers. Note: suction works best on smooth, non-textured surfaces.
🌿 Is It Safe for My Baby?
Absolutely. The Stay-Put Plate is made from 100% food-grade silicone that is BPA-free, PVC-free, and phthalate-free. It meets strict safety standards so you can feel completely confident about every meal. The soft silicone has no hard edges or sharp corners — completely safe for babies and toddlers throughout.
🍽️ Is It Dishwasher Safe?
Yes! The Stay-Put Plate is fully dishwasher safe — simply place it on the top rack after use. You can also rinse it quickly by hand with warm soapy water. The silicone resists staining and odours, so it stays fresh, hygienic, and looking beautiful meal after meal.
🌡️ Can I Use It in the Microwave?
Yes, the Stay-Put Plate is microwave safe. You can warm food directly in the plate — no need for extra dishes. Always check the temperature of the food before serving to your little one, as silicone can retain heat. The plate itself will not get dangerously hot but the food inside can be very warm.
🎁 Does It Make a Good Gift?
It's one of our most gifted products! The beautiful earthy colour options — warm beige, dusty blue, sage green, and dusty pink — make it a stunning baby shower or first birthday gift. Practical, premium, and something every parent will use every single day. It's the kind of gift that gets a thank-you message the very next morning at breakfast!

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I use it for all types of food?
Yes! The Stay-Put Plate is perfect for all baby and toddler foods — purees, soft solids, finger foods, cut fruit, vegetables, pasta, pap, and more. The 3 divided sections are generous enough to hold a full balanced meal, and the soft silicone walls make it easy for little ones to scoop food with a spoon.
From what age can my baby use the Stay-Put Plate?
The Stay-Put Plate is suitable for babies from around 6 months and up — once they're starting solids and sitting with support. The soft silicone edges are gentle on little gums and the suction base keeps it safely in place even for enthusiastic self-feeders. It's designed to grow with your child right through the toddler years.
How does the suction work and how strong is it?
Simply press the plate firmly down onto a smooth, flat surface to activate the suction — it grips highchair trays, wooden tables, and plastic surfaces very securely. To release, gently lift one edge of the plate. The suction is strong enough to withstand determined toddlers but easy for adults to remove. For best results, use on smooth, non-textured surfaces and make sure both the plate and surface are clean and dry before use.
Is the silicone safe for my baby?
Yes, completely. The Stay-Put Plate is made from 100% food-grade silicone that is BPA-free, PVC-free, and phthalate-free. It meets strict safety standards so every meal is completely worry-free. The soft silicone has no hard edges or sharp corners — gentle and safe for babies and toddlers throughout.
Is it dishwasher and microwave safe?
Yes to both! The plate is fully dishwasher safe — place it on the top rack after use. It is also microwave safe, so you can warm food directly in the plate without needing extra dishes. Always check the temperature of the food before serving to your little one as the food inside can get very warm.
Will it work on my highchair tray?
The Stay-Put Plate works best on smooth, flat, non-textured surfaces. Most standard highchair trays are perfectly compatible. If your highchair tray has a heavily textured or ridged surface, the suction may not grip as firmly — a smooth tray will give you the best results.
Can my baby use it independently?
Absolutely — that's one of the best things about it! Because the plate stays firmly in place, babies and toddlers can self-feed much more confidently and independently. The 3 divided sections make it easy for little ones to navigate their food, and the soft silicone is safe for them to touch and explore. Many SA moms report their babies took to independent feeding much faster once they switched to the Stay-Put Plate.
How do I clean it?
Cleaning is super easy! Pop it on the top rack of your dishwasher after use, or rinse by hand with warm soapy water. The food-grade silicone resists staining and odours so it stays fresh, hygienic, and looking beautiful meal after meal. No scrubbing required — it cleans up in seconds.
What colours are available?
The Stay-Put Plate is available in 4 beautiful earthy colours — warm beige, dusty blue, sage green, and dusty pink. All colours are carefully chosen to complement a modern home and look stunning on any highchair or table. Many parents buy multiple colours — one for each child, or to mix and match!
