The Silicone Dinnerware That Grows With Your Child - From First Bites to Big Kid Meals
When you're in the thick of starting solids, you just want something that works. Something safe, easy to clean, and (please) something that stays on the table.
But here's something most parents don't realise when they're shopping for baby dinnerware: the best silicone bowls don't just work for babies. They work for toddlers, preschoolers and beyond. And then when your child is genuinely ready for the next stage? There's a whole range waiting for them.
That's the Wild Indiana philosophy. One brand. The whole journey. No unnecessary upgrades, no wasted money, just dinnerware that keeps up with your kids.
Starting solids: what you actually need
Starting solids is one of those parenting milestones that feels way more overwhelming than it needs to be. The internet will have you believe you need seventeen different products before your baby can try their first spoonful of pureed sweet potato.
You don't. Here's what actually matters:
• A bowl that won't move — so your baby can scoop without sending everything flying
• Food-grade silicone that's safe, non-toxic and BPA-free
• Something easy to clean, because you will be cleaning it every single day
The Wild Indiana silicone suction bowl sets tick every one of these boxes. The strong suction base keeps the bowl firmly in place on highchairs and tables, giving your baby the stability they need to start building confidence with self-feeding from day one.
Here's what sets our bowls apart: they're designed to last beyond babyhood
Most silicone suction bowls on the market are sized for babies; small, shallow, and fine for purees but not much else. Your child outgrows them fast.
Our bowls are different. They're a larger size than your average baby bowl, which means they're just as useful for a hungry toddler as they are for a baby just starting out.
That bowl your baby used at 6 months? Your 2 year old will still be happily eating pasta out of it. Your 3 year old will use it for breakfast. Even older kids reach for them for snacks, fruit, yoghurt, anything they want to eat without the mess.
When other brands' bowls get retired to the back of the cupboard, Wild Indiana bowls are still on the table. That's not an accident, it's the point.
When your child is ready for the next step: the Fancy range
There's no fixed age when kids 'graduate' from their suction bowls, and honestly, many kids never fully do. But at some point, usually somewhere between 3 and 5, you'll notice a shift.
They want to eat like the big kids. They want a plate, not just a bowl. They're interested in cutlery. They're sitting at the table properly and managing mealtimes with a lot more independence.
That's exactly what the Fancy by Wild Indiana range was made for.
Fancy is silicone dinnerware for babies and big kids, designed to sit on the family table without looking out of place, in colours that kids genuinely love and parents don't mind looking at every night. No suction base. No cartoon characters. Just beautiful, practical dinnerware for the next stage.
It's the range that almost no other kids' dinnerware brand offers. Most brands stop at toddler. Fancy takes your child all the way through primary school.
The Fancy range includes:
- Fancy Silicone Dinner Plate - $34.95, the perfect big-kid plate
- Fancy Kids Cutlery Set | 3 Piece Silicone Spoon, Knife, Fork - $34.95, sized right for little hands
- Fancy Silicone Grip Cup - $14.95, easy to hold and dishwasher safe
- Fancy 5 Piece Silicone Dinner Set - from $59.95, everything they need in one bundle
Available in Blush, Duck Egg, Sage, Lemon, Lilac, Jett and more.
The brand that covers both stages — in the one order
Most Wild Indiana customers have two kids at once: a baby just starting solids and a toddler or older child at the same table. Sound familiar?
That's exactly why we built both ranges. You can grab your baby's suction bowl set and your big kid's Fancy dinner set in the one order, hit the $99 free shipping threshold, and sort both kids at once.
No other Australian silicone dinnerware brand takes your child from their very first bite all the way to big kid meals. That's the Wild Indiana difference.
