Grabease First Self Feeding Utensil Set (Spoon and Fork)
An easy to hold first spoon and fork, with a shallow spoon and a short useful life.
The short version
- Babies around 6 to 12 months who are starting to self feed
- Parents who want a short, chunky handle that a fist grip can manage
- You want to avoid plastic utensils
- Your toddler already uses a spoon well and needs one that holds more food
- You mostly serve runny foods that a flat spoon will not hold
What owners like
- Easy for small hands to grab and bring to the mouth
- Sturdy, without bending or breaking easily
- Fork picks up soft pieces of food well
- Small tips lead to smaller, more manageable bites
Common complaints
- Spoon is fairly flat, so it scoops very little
- Gap between the tip and the guard is short, which can frustrate some babies
- All plastic, which BabyGearLab rated low on materials
- Older toddlers with more dexterity tend to move on quickly
Based on BabyGearLab's toddler utensil tests, a baby led weaning coach's hands on spoon roundup, a parent blog review, and retailer listings..

What it does
A short handled plastic baby spoon and fork with a flower shaped guard near the tip, sold as a two piece set with a travel pouch or case.
- Short, tear drop shaped handle sized for a baby's fist grip
- Flower shaped guard that the maker calls a choke guard
- Comes with a pouch or case for travel
- Sold in many colors, including mint
A sensible first set for babies just starting to feed themselves, since the short, thick handles are easy for small hands to hold. The trade-offs are a shallow spoon that carries little food, all plastic construction that one editorial tester marked down, and a design that older toddlers tend to outgrow.
