When compared to plastic plates, bamboo dishes are definitely much safer. Bamboo is renewable, non-toxic and durable. These bamboo suction plates are also lightweight and shatter-resistant. On the other hand, when you consider plastic plates – they can easily be shattered. It can lead to little pieces of plastic getting into your toddler’s food, which is harmful to their health. Plastic is also non-renewable, with toxins due to chemicals present in it.
