Grabease

The award-winning Grabease is the first ergonomic self feeding cutlery set recommended by Occupational Therapists. The patented choke protection barrier prevents your little one from sticking the cutlery too far into their mouths and gagging. The ergonomic handle is designed specifically for baby's natural hand grasp. Continued use improves fine motor skills and strengthens the pincer grasp. The expanding range also includes a coverall bib and silicone bowl (see above, in various designs) and a great innovative toothbrush.
