My Plate Mate & GIVEAWAY!
THIS GIVEAWAY IS NOW CLOSED!!
My Plate-Mate is a unique spill guard that promotes independence while minimizing messy spills at meal time. It easily attaches to standard round plates for convenience. My Plate-Mate promotes advanced self-feeding with toddlers. My Plate-Mate is an assisted eating aid for the elderly and for those with special needs. It promotes independence, self confidence, and dignity at meal time.
We received a My Plate-Mate, and Sarah seems to really like it. It has helped her a lot with making less of a mess. I like the fact that I don't have to clean up a HUGE mess on the table, and she likes that she can scoop her food easier. I noticed that I can attach it to any of our plates. I was very surprised at how much it stretches.
I also like that I can put it in the dishwasher.
Using My Plate-Mate at meal time will:
Prevent messy spills on the table
Help your child successfully learn to use a utensil
Increase your child's confidence and independence at meals
Promote developmental growth as your child advances to the next stage of self feeding
Simple and Easy:
Fits onto a child's 8"-9 1/2" round plate
Easy to clean, dishwasher safe
Light and easy to transport to restaurants or outings
Made in the USA of certified, FDA approved plastic
For kids 2+ years

verry nice
4/24/2008 10:15 AM
These are just lovely...I'd love to win!
4/24/2008 10:19 AM
I would like to win so things like rice and peas don't get flipped over onto the table all the time. I would probably go with the white one.
4/24/2008 10:43 AM
I work in early intervention. This would be great for some of our families. I would like the blue one.
4/24/2008 10:44 AM
The white one is nice. I like how the site says they are dishwasher safe-also, great idea to take them to restaurants. very cool-thanks!
4/24/2008 10:46 AM
I want this so bad. My son gets frustrated eating with forks because he wants to scoop but it just ends up falling off the plate. White please. Thanks for the great giveaway!
4/24/2008 11:03 AM
I use to work at a rehab center about 2 years ago and they used these with the recovering stroke patients. I thought they were so cool then and would LOVE to have one now for my baby girl.
4/24/2008 11:18 AM
That looks really cool. The blue would be great for my son that will be born in July. I know it's early, but.... got to start getting stuff sometime!
4/24/2008 11:18 AM
What a great idea!!!! How many times does my poor dd's food end up on the table instead of on her spoon and in her mouth. This would certainly give her confidence in eating, less messes and less frustration!
4/24/2008 11:19 AM
My sweet 7yo nephew is profoundly mentally retarded. He can feed himself, but oh, he makes a mess. This would be perfect for him! And I'd choose blue for him.
4/24/2008 11:20 AM
Blue-to help with messes.
4/24/2008 11:25 AM
I would like the blue one. This is wonderful because we have carpet in our eating area. Anything to minimize the messes on the floor is highly desired.
4/24/2008 11:33 AM
Oh! What a wonderful idea and product. I have little one who is just starting to want to feed herself that this would be perfect for ~ in PINK.

4/24/2008 11:34 AM
I like your, blue one and think I should win because I am a mother of 2, constantly on the go and Grandpa doesn't like us getting food all over his tableclothes.
4/24/2008 11:54 AM
This would be great to win to take with us when visiting. That way we don't bother all the relatives with messy tablecloths! I'd love the white one.
4/24/2008 11:54 AM
This would be perfect for The Bella. She cannot figure out how to spoon things without making a mess. I think that this is a great learning tool. The Bella's favorite color is blue.
4/24/2008 1:13 PM
This is great! We have SUCH a problem with peas, and I hate using bowls for dinner. This would help with using a spoon and scooping!
4/24/2008 1:20 PM
I am the Mommy of Karla's 7 year old nephew. We WOULD love to have a plate mate...blue would be great! It would be so helpful for Garrett to learn to scoop his food himself...maybe, just maybe someday he can feed himself neatly.

I would love to win a blue one - I love that color...and my daughter is oh so messy!
4/24/2008 1:28 PM
My daughter is the messiest kid on Earth!!! I like the animal plate!!

4/24/2008 1:41 PM
The pink one is my favorite. I have two girls and my two year old would like to eat off of a plate like everyone else but is so frustrated that she can't use her fork to scoop so I give her (much to her sadness) a bowl instead. This would help foster independent feeding. Thanks!
breastblankets (at) gmail (dot) com
4/24/2008 2:08 PM
Such a great idea...and so simple.
It would make it so much easier for my grandchild to eat neatly. And I love that it is so easy to just take with you when visiting, going out, etc and then can just throw in the dishwasher. I would choose the white one.
4/24/2008 2:30 PM
My daughter says I should have the "girl one." That translates as pink. What a great idea for our messy kids!
hellerfam(at)yahoo(dot)com
4/24/2008 3:00 PM
what a great idea! my daughter is pretty good about no mess now, she will be 3 next month, but our son is only 8 months and just starting to eat "human food" as we call it lol...so this would be perfect. i like the blue.
amber.marie.keefer@conus.army.mil
4/24/2008 3:21 PM
I like the blue. :)
4/24/2008 4:08 PM
love the blue color for my grandson
4/24/2008 4:50 PM
Oh, I could really use this! I'm so tired of the food getting pushed off my boys' plates onto the table, especially Jakey cuz he's not very good with fork and spoon yet.
4/24/2008 5:20 PM
This would be good for either one of my kids (ages 3 and 8 months). I would pick a blue one. I like the idea of the one for seniors as well. You could use that one for regular plates for your kids too, if you wanted to take them to a nice restaurant (if you had lost your mind).
4/24/2008 5:20 PM
oops, I forgot to add my email contact is onlycancan at hotmail dot com
4/24/2008 5:35 PM
That's a great idea to keep it clean during eating time! I'd like the blue one. Thanks :)
4/24/2008 5:35 PM
those are neat. that'd be great for my two year old. i'd like pink
4/24/2008 5:41 PM
Love that it would help with messes and that it is dishwasher safe- a must in my book! I would choose blue- two boys! Thanks!
4/24/2008 5:53 PM
pick me please :-) like the blue.
ginnyswe at gmail . com
4/24/2008 6:27 PM

4/24/2008 6:33 PM
20 months old and fiercely independent...need I say more? Any thing to cut down on messes and I'd love the white. Thanks!

Thanks,

4/24/2008 8:40 PM
What a great idea! I like all the features - my little one insists on eating by herself right now (at 12 months), and anything that would minimize the mess would be more than welcome!
4/24/2008 9:21 PM
how neat! my 15 month old would like the pink one please. thanks!
4/24/2008 10:24 PM
I would love the plate mate in white. It would help me not have to help my toddler get the last her dinner on her fork.
4/24/2008 10:27 PM
I would like this because it would help my siblings (and I wouldn't be told to clean up after the mess, haha). I would like white!
4/25/2008 1:15 AM
Thank you for the great giveaway, I'd love to win! nw_wife(at)hotmail(dot)com It would be great for the kids that come to visit.
4/25/2008 1:20 AM
This is a great idea, our dog is already chunky enough without extra food being flung her way. lol I'd love the white!
4/25/2008 2:26 AM
I would love to win this to use with my son! Very convenient, and would save time on cleaning messes up everywhere! I like the blue!
4/25/2008 3:25 AM
Awesome! I love the blue one.
4/25/2008 5:42 AM
Awesome... I'd choose white.
daldak01@yahoo.ca
4/25/2008 6:16 AM
i like that it is dishwasher safe and i like the blue.
4/25/2008 6:35 AM
I like the training AND the mess control aspect of this!! Totally cute!
4/25/2008 7:23 AM
very handy
4/25/2008 8:36 AM
I LOVE this idea, why don't I come up with things like this!? I love the fact that no longer the peas, sweetcorn, and other food will end up on the floor. Dishwasher safe is a plus. Thanks for the great giveaway, this would definitely help my little girl (and myself)
4/25/2008 8:51 AM
What a fantastic product! I have been looking for something like this - thanks for sharing!!
I would like the white or pink (we have 3 girls!!)

I think this would be great to help my daughter get her food on her fork or spoon-she is always using her free hand! I like the white one.

I'd pick the white one. It would help my little ones using the fork.

4/25/2008 10:33 AM
Messy eating - a real problem in my house. I would love this to help contain the mess - especially since we eat in an area with carpet. White color is good for me!
crt4book[at]yahoo[dot]com
Thanks
4/25/2008 10:37 AM
love it's diswasher safe and makes self feeding a little less frustrating for the learning toddlers. White please.
Stephanie V.
4/25/2008 11:23 AM
I like the fact that they stretch to fit so you can use them out at different places! White would be great.

NEAT INVENTION :) BLUE
4/25/2008 12:55 PM
I'd love to win because this would help make dinner time less of a battle!
4/25/2008 1:41 PM
What a great invention. I'm sure this would be great when my son starts using utensils. (Right now they are just toys to him.) I love that the product is PVC-Free, Latex-Free and Phthalate-Free.
4/25/2008 1:42 PM
Oops, I'd like the white.
4/25/2008 1:42 PM
Oops, I'd like the white.
4/25/2008 1:45 PM
Great products, would love to pink. This is a great invention!
4/25/2008 1:47 PM
My grandson could use one of these. Too bad we are just now finding this after too many messes to count. I think I would choose a white one.
coleenvigil(at)yahoo(dot)com
4/25/2008 1:47 PM
I'd pick white. My son loves to self feed, but end up with more food on the table, the floor and all over himself than in his mouth. This would help so much! Great idea!
4/25/2008 3:34 PM
I'd like to win because after going through 2 kids with no plate mate, after seeing it, I NEED one for the third.
And, of course, we're all about pink in this house.
Thanks!
4/25/2008 3:37 PM
Those are cool. Never heard of them before. My son could really use that!
I would like the white one.
4/25/2008 4:13 PM
Nice. BLUE please for messy Marvin.
4/25/2008 4:21 PM
I would love to win this for my kids.
4/25/2008 4:57 PM
I love the animal plate! Perfect for my daughter.
4/25/2008 5:09 PM
What a helpful product! I would choose white! Thanks for the great giveaway!
4/25/2008 5:48 PM
What a great idea for a product! I agree with a previous commenter - after having lived without one through two kids, I really feel like this is a must-have for my 3rd! In fact, I'm sure it'd still come in handy with my 2nd born, who still manages to slide food onto the table frequently.
Thank you for the giveaway! I would choose white if I were to win. :)
4/25/2008 5:52 PM
This would be great for my nephew. I like the blue! Thanks for the giveaway!
4/25/2008 6:40 PM
My kids are some of the messiest kids I've ever met. They can stain their clothes (and everything around them) within the first 2 minutes of sitting down for a meal. I would love one of these to try to curb the mess.
That bright blue is my favorite.
4/25/2008 7:06 PM
The white one is adorable.
4/25/2008 9:48 PM
The white one. My little guy will be starting solids soon and this will be great once he's on his own!
4/25/2008 11:11 PM
I like the pink my plate mate for kids. Great giveaway, thanks!
4/26/2008 7:05 AM
I have a toddler just about to learn to self-feed. I've always disliked this stage because of the mess, so I would love a platemate!! I like the white the best.
4/26/2008 7:33 AM
My son thinks it's great to spin his plate around instead of eating his food. This would help. I'd say the white would be best because most of our plates are white.
4/26/2008 10:15 AM
I like the blue. Great idea.
4/26/2008 10:39 AM
This is a fantastic idea! It would definitely help keep the kitchen table a bit cleaner.
4/26/2008 12:48 PM
great idea.
less mess
causeyland(at)msn.com
4/26/2008 1:47 PM
Made in the USA of certified, FDA approved plastic! Less mess.
I like the blue best.
4/26/2008 2:11 PM
Great giveaway! I hope i'm the lucky winner! :)
4/26/2008 3:52 PM
I'd love to win this for my little boy. The blue or white are great!
4/26/2008 6:36 PM
I would love to win this for my little guy. He has severe special needs and although he is seven years old, he still has great difficulty eating. It would be wonderful for him to be able to use one of our regular plates so he could feel like a big boy, but still have the control he needs to scoop up his food. If I should win his favorite color is blue. Thank you.
4/26/2008 6:41 PM

Forgot to leave e-mail address above. 4thebirds@sbcglobal.net
4/27/2008 7:37 AM
What a great invention! My son can make such a mess being a big boy and feeding himself. I would love blue (or any color really)
4/27/2008 12:03 PM
This would be great for my toddler - he's just now getting the hang of bowls, I was really wondering how I would teach him to eat off a plate. White would be our choice.
4/27/2008 12:34 PM
what a great idea! I love how it prevents spills. my son would want the blue one :)
4/27/2008 12:49 PM
This is another one of those things that i say to myself, why didn't I think of that?!?! If i win I would like the white one. It would really help keeping the food onthe plate or the fork instead of the table.
egreca [at] hotmail [dot] com
4/27/2008 1:25 PM
my daughter would like that.. in pink
4/27/2008 1:41 PM
Would love to win this in white for my newest grandchild!
4/27/2008 3:40 PM
The blue looks fab! I'd like to win to prevent spills on our table, help my son learn to use a spoon/fork, and just help him learn how to eat by himself!
4/27/2008 4:21 PM
We'd love to win a white one. My daughter is learning to use a spoon, but gets frustrated and starts using her hands when she can't scoop food onto the spoon. This looks like it would really help her out.
4/27/2008 4:33 PM
I would love a pink one for my friend's daughter! They really need it and it would be a great gift!
Thanks :)
4/28/2008 4:32 AM
Would love to win. White probably, we are BIG into peas and our dog does not need to eat any more that land on the floor! LOL!
4/28/2008 8:16 AM
Our 2 year old loves using his utensils... but often scoops food right off the plate. I'd really love to try one of these! We'd pick a white one.
4/28/2008 8:26 AM
With 3 kids and a husband, I really hate cleaning up after dinner, especially wiping down the table. I'm not entirely sure, maybe it's the rice that sticks and smears on the table, maybe it's the dog barking because she's mad that I don't scrape it onto the floor for her, or maybe it's having to scoop cold mashed potatoes and chewed up food into my hand and carrying it to the garbage can, any of the above is a great reason to get one of these. I like the white since I have 2 girls and 1 boy. Multi-functional that way. :)
4/28/2008 12:18 PM
wonderful for a child learning how to feed themselves - blue
tiramisu392 (at) yahoo.com
4/28/2008 5:09 PM
This would be great to win to take with us when visiting.
4/28/2008 8:44 PM
This is great! I could really use something to keep my kitchen cleaner.
4/29/2008 6:54 AM
I think these plates such a great idea! When my baby will start trying to eat by herself these what I need!! Ofcourse she is a girl... so something pink.. pastel blue or other "girly" colores would be very nice ! Thank you
4/29/2008 8:10 AM
I'd love to win a white one and pass it on to my lil cousin. My aunt's too worried about him spilling all over...she feeds him all the time - NOT HEALTHY! I think this will help him eat alone (or help her let him do so!) and will increase the lil one's confidence!
4/29/2008 7:58 PM
White
Easy to transport to restaurants or outings.
dolls123[at]gmail[dot]com
5/01/2008 3:01 PM
This white one. I love love love that it is dishwasher safe. Mujch easier for me.
5/01/2008 10:04 PM
This would help my son finally be able to get those last few bites into his mouth by himself! I'd get white so his sister could use it, too. thanks for a chance!
aaronandjulie719 at yahoo dot com
5/02/2008 12:29 PM
My daughter couldn't dump out her food the way she always does, it would help he eat more & me stress less.
5/02/2008 8:09 PM
A blue one would work nicely for my son who eats like a horse and is messy to boot!
ashdash_99 (at) yahoo (dot) com
5/03/2008 5:55 PM
I would like the blue one. My son is trying so hard to use his spoon but he just ends up dumping the plate over and eating with his fingers!
5/03/2008 6:04 PM
This would be fantastic for when my son starts using a plate! I'd choose the blue one.
5/03/2008 10:01 PM
Dishwasher safe is very important in this household! We'd like white if we won.
nifferjeno at gmail dot com
5/03/2008 10:51 PM
blue would be great for my son to starts using a plate!
5/04/2008 1:58 AM
What a unique idea. Would love this for when my young granddaughter visits.
5/04/2008 5:10 AM
Pink. I have bought my 2 yr. old daughter "kiddie" plates and they are the worst for her to "scoop" on. Now she can use her fun plates again.
5/04/2008 10:28 AM
My disabled daughter would love this in pink. This would aid her in eating and would not be a typical medical issue aid. The bright color would make her feel less conscious of having an issue.
5/04/2008 1:39 PM
A pink would would be great, with a toddler eating (and making more of a mess than any of my other children ever managed), and my infant starting to eat, I could use this to help my toddler learn how to eat, instead of banging her plate on the table, and feeding the dog. (Yes, the dog would be sad. A sacrifice I'm willing to make!)
5/04/2008 4:46 PM
what an incredible invention! Wish I thought of it! :) With this our little Bentley's rice would stay on his plate! I would love any color! Good luck to me.
5/04/2008 6:14 PM
I work at a sheltered workshop for the mentally retarded and developmentally disabled and this would be a great item for some of our people. A white one would be nice as it would go with everything!
5/04/2008 8:08 PM
I'd like the blue one. I have yet to meet a neat toddler and if there is one out there, they're definitely not mine!
5/04/2008 10:29 PM
Anything pink. LOL
hermanthompson (at) yahoo(dot)com
5/05/2008 5:09 AM
Even though I am all about the PINK on my blog, I would choose white so that it could be recycled and passed from kid to kid! I would give this to my good friend who has a little girl learning to eat by herself and she would love to have less mess to clean up. Thankfully, my youngest, who is nearly 4, has finally mastered the art of eating neatly!

I would like to win because it would prevent all the spills on the table that I have to clean up. I would choose blue. garrettsambo@aol.com.
5/05/2008 7:49 AM
I would like to win so things like rice and peas don't get flipped over onto the table all the time. I would probably go with the white one.
5/05/2008 8:49 AM
I like the white. Anthing that can make your life easier as a mom is a good thing.
5/05/2008 10:22 AM
What a great idea! Need this for adult plates too! Pink please! Thanks.
5/05/2008 11:48 AM
Pink for us thanks
5/05/2008 1:48 PM
This wonder tool is reason enough to want one. I think white is probably the most practical.
5/05/2008 2:22 PM
I would love to win the pink one
5/05/2008 4:30 PM
Love that it safe guards spills. Love the white!
5/05/2008 4:54 PM
What a great idea - any color is fine.
5/05/2008 6:26 PM
Oh wow - that is a neat idea! Looks like something that would have been good for the older 4 children to use... but this one would be used for my baby girl - she is almost 2 and still a mess. :) I would choose the pink one.
5/05/2008 7:06 PM
I like the pink floral plate with the pink plate mate. What an ingenius idea. I have grandkids. Why didin't they have things like this when I was aharried mom?
5/05/2008 7:15 PM
I would pick the blue one for my friend's messy kid!
5/05/2008 7:29 PM
This is a fantastic idea for toddlers or the elderly! I'm glad to see that it will go into the dishwasher! I think white is probably the most versatile and practical.
5/05/2008 11:55 PM
I'd like to win the Pink one to minimize spills.
