Let me tell you, these Nuogo baby bowls have been a game-changer in our household. As a parent of two toddlers, I've gone through my fair share of plastic bowls that either stain, break, or just don't stand up to daily use. These stainless steel bowls with removable silicone shells? They're different.

The first thing that struck me was how lightweight yet sturdy they feel. My 18-month-old can easily carry just the inner stainless steel bowl around (her favorite way to snack on cheerios), but when we use the full setup with suction base at mealtime, it actually stays put about 90% of the time. That remaining 10% when it doesn't stick perfectly? Usually because I didn't wet the suction cup enough - lesson learned!

I love how versatile they are. Some days we use them as regular bowls for oatmeal at breakfast (the perfect portion size for little appetites), other times we separate the stainless insert for easy snacks on-the-go. The six bright colors make it fun for my kids to choose their 'special bowl' each meal - no more fighting over who gets which color!

After three months of daily use (and dishwasher cycles), they still look nearly new aside from some expected utensil marks inside the steel bowls. The silicone shells have maintained their vibrant colors without staining from foods like tomato sauce or turmeric - something I could never say about our old plastic bowls.

Are they completely indestructible? No - my toddler did manage to bend one slightly when he threw it off his high chair in protest of naptime. But compared to shattered plastic or chipped ceramic? These are practically bulletproof for normal kid use.

If you're debating between these and more expensive store brands, take it from someone who's used both: these perform just as well at a fraction of the price. They've survived everything from yogurt art projects to being used as makeshift drums - and still look presentable enough that I recently gifted a set to my sister at her baby shower.
