I washed our silicone bowl again and the smell was still there. I'd washed it dozens of times. I started wondering if it was affecting the taste of Leo's food. That wondering is what sent me down the rabbit hole — silicone grades, leaching, all of it. I wish someone had just told me about stainless steel sooner. That's why we're telling you now. — Keri, founder & mum of Leo & Sunny

The Leo & Sun Stainless Steel Suction Bowl is what your child's mealtimes actually need. Made from lab-tested 304 food-grade stainless steel — non-porous, odour-free, and genuinely built to last. Not a phase product. The last bowl you'll need to buy.

Available in Ocean and Sage — two calm, earthy colours that make mealtime feel a little more beautiful and a lot less chaotic.

Every order includes a cotton travel pouch and arrives in a compostable courier bag. Zero plastic. Anywhere.

  • Nothing plastic touches their food.

    No BPA, no phthalates, no microplastics. Lab-tested and certified free from heavy metals. What you put in is what they taste. Nothing more, nothing less.

  • The smell is gone. Permanently.

    Non-porous stainless steel absorbs nothing. No food smells, no bacteria, no residue from last night. It looks and smells exactly as clean as the day it arrived — every single time.

  • ⚓︎
    Suction that holds through the messiest meals.

    The silicone base grips firmly on highchair trays and smooth surfaces. And in Ocean or Sage, it looks genuinely lovely on the tray too.

  • Comfortable for little hands.

    The silicone outer provides a gentle buffer if you're serving warm food — making it more comfortable for little ones to hold and carry.

  • Mould-free by design.

    The silicone base removes completely so there are no hidden seams or moisture traps. Nothing to scrub. Nothing to worry about.

  • ⚡︎
    The last bowl you'll ever need to buy.

    Won't crack, warp or stain. Handles drops, heat and daily dishwasher cycles without complaint. Still going strong when your next child needs it.

  • Grows with your child.

    Use with the suction base in the early years. Remove it when they're ready for the family table. Same bowl, no new purchase needed.

  • Cotton travel pouch included.

    Every order comes in a reusable cotton travel pouch — perfect for your nappy bag. Shipped in a compostable courier bag. Nothing to feel conflicted about.

Care tip: Remove the silicone base before the dishwasher. It keeps everything properly clean and the suction seal in top condition long-term. Hand washing is also fine and takes about 10 seconds.
What size is the bowl?+
11cm in diameter and 5cm high including the silicone base. A great depth for baby and toddler portions — not too large, not too small.
Can I use it for hot food?+
Yes. Stainless steel is completely safe with hot food. The silicone outer keeps the outside comfortable for little hands. Just let very hot food cool for a moment before serving — as you normally would.
Can I put it in the microwave?+
No — stainless steel is not microwave safe. Heat food in a separate container first and transfer to the bowl before serving. Standard for all stainless steel products.
Does the suction work on wooden highchairs?+
Best on smooth surfaces. For wooden trays, press down firmly in the centre to create a solid seal before serving. Works reliably for most families with this technique.
Is it dishwasher safe?+
Yes, completely. Both the stainless steel and the silicone base are dishwasher safe. Remove the silicone base before washing to keep the seal in top condition and make sure everything gets properly clean.
Should I get the bowl on its own or the bundle?+
If you only need the bowl right now, this is it. If you need both a bowl and a plate — which most families do — The Bundle is the convenient option. One purchase, one delivery, gift-ready packaging.
What is the cotton travel pouch?+
Every Leo & Sun order comes in a reusable cotton drawstring pouch — perfect for mealtimes out of the house. Pop it in your nappy bag and you're sorted. Yours to keep.
How long does shipping take?+
Orders are packed and shipped within 2 to 4 business days from our NZ base. Free NZ shipping on orders over $99. Free AU shipping on orders over $149.
