I bought this and the bowl mainly because of the suction pads, both of which didn't stick to anything for more than a few minutes. I watched as the plate slowly lifted as the suction failed. The manufacture recommends glass as the best thing to stick it to, which I, not having a glass table haven't tried. It may be ok if you have a completely smooth high chair surface. no good on a wooden table either. As I now use them without the suction pads, my little person enjoys stuffing the food into the grooves on the back of the divided plate too. We both love the pictures of the bunnies though.
