Based on NumNum's own site and GOOtensils product page, a hands-on review on the Baby Food Ideas blog and a GoodBuy Gear resale listing. Owner feedback beyond that one review was thin, so complaint themes are limited..

What it does
A pair of short silicone pre-spoons with flat, textured heads that a baby dips into food, one Stage 1 and one Stage 2, here in storm gray and glacier green.
- Flat head picks up food when dipped, with no scooping or balancing
- No wrong way to hold it, so a baby can get food in from any angle
- Thick, contoured handle sized for a baby's grip
- Two stages in one set for thin and thicker foods
- NumNum says the soft tip can double as a teether
A good pick for parents who want a baby to start feeding themselves with a utensil, since the flat head has no wrong way to hold it and no scooping is needed. The trade-off is that it is a dipping tool rather than a true spoon, and one reviewer saw the color fade over time.
