The Stay Put Set Keeps Baby's Bowl and Cutlery Fixed to the Table

— November 13, 2011 — Art & Design
Most tots are stronger than they look -- which is what you'll be thinking the next time baby throws his bowl across the kitchen. The Stay Put Set makes mealtime a little more controlled and trouble-free for a tired parent who can't stand to pick even one more messy item off of the floor.

A brilliant solution is this collection of plates and eating utensils that are suction cupped to the tabletop. The actual dishes can thus remain fixed to their footings and the forks and spoons are flexibly connected to the surface by springy coiled cords. You're already going to be engaged in a serious tidy of edible scraps once dinner has finished, but with the Stay Put Set at least you won't need to retrieve eating utensils ten times during one sitting.
Trend Themes
1. Suction Cup Kitchenware - The use of suction cups in kitchenware for infants and young children can be expanded to other household and commercial items.
2. Springy Coiled Cords - The integration of springy coiled cords in tableware allows for flexible movement and can be applied to utensils for people with disabilities or mobility issues.
3. Hands-free Kitchenware - The concept of hands-free tableware can be adapted for adults to prevent spills and accidents in hospitals and other industries.
Industry Implications
1. Baby Products - Innovative tableware designs like the Stay Put Set can be developed to ease the lives of parents and caretakers of infants and young children.
2. Disability Aids - Utensils with springy coiled cords can be designed to enable people with physical disabilities or limited mobility to eat more comfortably.
3. Food Service - The use of suction cupped kitchenware can be expanded to commercial food services to prevent spills and accidents in facilities such as hospitals, schools, and retirement homes.
