I bought this bowl after reading the good reviews, as I was frustrated by my growing cupboard of bowls, none of which stuck to the high chair. This item arrived v quickly and was packaged appropriately. The first one I received did not work at all - i could not seperate the bowl from the base. I contacted the vital baby people and they were v obliging and sent me another one the next day. The new one arrived and I could detatch this one and set it up but I have to say that I am disappointed with it. It is great on the ocassions that it sticks - I can happily eat my meal as my daughter eats hers....however, more often than not, before the meal is finished, the bowl has been flung across the floor when the suction has just stopped working for some reason. So, on the days when I think 'i will give it another go' I do......and hope that it lasts the meal out. On other days, I find myself holding a bowl or just putting it on the high chair table, thinking to myself 'i'll give her a bowl when she is old enough not to fling it around!'
