Heinz Baby Basics Unbelievabowl :
4.26 out of 5 based on 209 reviews.

The NEW Unbelievabowl is a super strong suction bowl to help make life a little less messy at meal times. The unique Unbelievabowl has been designed to stick your baby’s highchair or your tabletop with ultimate, super suction power. Simple and easy to attach, once securely locked in position, it will be difficult for your baby to spill or remove the bowl, making meal times less stressful and less messy! Designed for ultimate convenience, bowls are interchangeable and are BPA Free. Truly Unbelievable!

Notes for using the Unbelievabowl:

USE THE SUCTION PAD ON SMOOTH, FLAT SURFACES ONLY. NOT SUITABLE FOR POROUS SURFACES.

To test the suction pad of the Unbelievabowl, secure it to a mirror. If the suction base adheres to the mirror, then the Unbelievabowl should attach securely to a smooth flat surface, such as your baby’s highchair. Please note that the Unbelievabowl is not suitable for porous surfaces such as wood, leather and some stone surfaces.

  • Excellent baby bowl.

    Excellent bowl for baby especially when you let them explore food using their fingers. My son was given a mango in this bowl and the bowl stuck steadfast to the table even when he had his face pressed into the bowl lapping up this mango we had given him. It’s the first and only bowl we bought as there wasn’t any thing like this out there.

  • glitteringly good

    I must admit I did not buy, so I am not sure of prices, but someone left one of these at our playgroup. Desperate for something to put glitter in during craft time, we decided to use it. No spilt glitter! The suction cup meant little hands could not snatch it away from other little hands, and clean up was just so much easier!

  • Perfect For Kids

    We got one of these for christmas from the grandparents and I cannot recommend this product enough. It’s great for our son who wants to be independent without the worry of major spills everywhere. It also teaches him to ‘sit still’ which is hard at the 2 year mark. Would recommend to anyone with a toddler.

  • great bowl to avoid mess

    The baby Heinz basic bowl was great.
    My daughter had one , it was fantastic when she was learning to feed herself. Most kids pick the bowl up and turn it upside down straight away.The suction was strong , my daughter was unable to pick the bowl up.
    Easy to wash I put mine in rbe dishwasher and good price I paid $12 from toys r us.

  • Good value for price

    Definitely recommend to others, have used Heinz Bowls heaps with my kids and they are great. I do really believe that their unbelievable bowls because a regular bowl couldn’t stick to surfaces and stop babies from flipping it. The price is great between $7-12 each and if it keeps food in I am all for it.

  • Fantastic!

    I was lucky enough to win an unbelievabowl a little while ago and was so impressed! Its so easy to use, and sticks to every table surface I have put it on. It doesn’t slide around or come unstuck like other suction bowls I have tried in the past. I have no complaints.

  • I’m still loving this bowl. It’s nice to be able to put his food in something rather than straight on the highchair tray. Regular bowls just kept ending up on the floor, so I gave up on them.

  • What an amazing invention!

    Wow! To say we love this product is an understatement! Even though dinner time is still messy it makes it much easier to get it done quickly and efficiently.
    I find that my little man eats much better using the bowl.
    The suction is great but I find if the surface is a little wet it can be hard to attach the bowl so hot tip just to use a dry surface.
    I think this is a great innovative product that should be an essential item in a family household!

  • VERY IMPRESSIVE

    Works really well with my daughter. I love how this suctioned down. It also encouraged my baby girls independent eating skills, without as much mess for this busy mum to clean up.. It is giving her more confidence to scoop up her custard on her own without it always dripping it down her front. It really is a great little bow for beginnersl.. it’s a little pricey.. but money very well spent. I would recommend this to all my mummy friends for sure!

  • wonderful, great addition to any baby shower basket

    This should be an essential purchase for all new mums, nothing like this was available when my babies were young but I purchased one for my sister when she had her little girl, it is awesome, it allows you to spoon feed with the risk of cereal everywhere then when the child gets a little older they can feed themselves without wearing all the food, no more spilt or thrown bowls, they are cheap and are a great addition to a baby shower present because it is not something that you think of purchasing when having a baby.

  • Hygienic and useful bowl for kids

    I got Heinz baby basic bowl as gift from my friend, i did not use initially for some time but once I started using it, I liked it a lot, My child enjoyed eating in that, she would make the place messy, but still she enjoyed eating in that bowl,The design is good and the quality was also good and it was easy to attach to the high chair and it was convenient to use, I would strongly recommend this product for my friends as well.A great innovation for the kids.

  • Great for messy kids

    My bub insists on throwing everything from her high chair, and she can throw further than the drop sheet we have down to protect the floor from the mess! She finds this bowl frustrating because she can’t throw it, but soon gives up trying and focuses on throwing her food instead! It definitely limits the damage she can do at mealtime though!

    My only problem with the bowl is that the suction works so well that sometimes I can’t get it off her highchair tray!

  • Easy, compact, safe

    I have brought these for my twins and found it has made feeding time for both of them easier. I love the suction pad because it allows my twins to learn how to use the spoon without the bowl falling off the high chair. Great product would recommend it to anyone with young babies.

  • Baby Bowl

    I have 2 of these bowls and they have saved me on numerous occasions when the babies have had their tantrums and tried knocking over their food. They are easy to use and very easy to clean. I love that they have lids as I take the bowls with us when we are out and about. These bowls are a must have for anyone with babies 6+ months old. The only thing is they are a little expensive but very sturdy and will last years.

  • ingenius & helpful

    this bowl is pricey ($15 but i bought one on special for $10) but i really like it. If it was cheaper, i’d love to own more. Also more variety in colour or design or disney theme and that would be amazing. It sticks to my baby’s highchair perfectly and stays put. On my other child’s eating booster seat & table, it keeps suction but it can be pushed around, i think that surfaced it too polished. I do love this bowl and i have saved so much time and effort cleaning up because i’m not under the table with a dustpan cleaning up a whole bowls worth of food.
    It’s so cute watching my baby try to pick it up

  • Love our Heinz bowl

    Works really well with my Son, as he is a fussy eater and will usually whinge and tip the bowl over if he doesn’t like something. Love how this suctioned down. It also encouraged my sons independent eating skills.. giving him more confidence to scoop up his custard. (always dripping it down his front) . Great bowl.. a little pricey.. but money well spent. I would recommend this for sure!

    This is a great bowl, once stuck to our new highchair my littlie can’t pull it off. It’s tough & I love the colour. Unfortunately it wouldn’t stay suck to the old highchair because it wasn’t perfectly smooth but overall a fantastic product.

  • Unbelievaplate please.

    I have been using this amazing product for years. Went thru 3-4 different suction bowl products when my first daughter was around 1yo that failed miserably. She would easily pluck them off the table. And then I discovered this unbelievabowl and it worked unbelievably well. My first daughter is now 5yo and my younger daughter 1yo and this product is still serving us well! I have 1 sunction base and 3-4 bowls to interchange that has lasted for 5 years. I would love it if Heinz could come up with maybe a bigger dish type plate that would fit into the sunction base as well. Then we could fit bigger pieces of food like toast without having to cut it so small. Overall I would recommend this product to all mums. I’ve even bought this as gifts a few times before.

    I had seen these & been told about them. They weren’t cheap but I really wanted to try it out. It was the best thing I have bought. They work so well. The little one lives it because it doesn’t go everywhere & so do I. They are expensive but we’ll worth the money

  • Great Idea

    I have one of these and a couple of bowls to interchange. Unfortunately they are a great idea but with my kids I found the extra height of the bowl due to the locking base made the bowl too high to be practical so I use the bowls but rarely use the base. My kids are short so proabably doesn’t help!

Summer beach and pool days are core childhood memory creators, but getting the kids out the door, not so much! From wrestling wriggly toddlers into rashies to arguing with teens trying to dodge sunscreen and cramming half the house into the car, the exhaustion can kick in before we’ve even set foot on the sand!

But there are some very clever tips that will make even the most stressful summer days smooth sailing – and the Mouths of Mums community know them all! Which is why we asked our mums for their hints, hacks and tips – from sand removal to stress-free sunscreen application (we’re going to introduce you to the fabulous new Banana Boat SmartMist Sunscreen Sprays that will make your life so much easier). 

You’ll want to take note before you next hit the beach or pool!

Pack Smart, Not Big

Do you feel like you take waaayyy too much when you head to the beach or pool, and then you seem to forget a couple of key things that would have made life so much easier?

Our Mouths of Mums community swear by this fab list of essentials which should be in every mum’s beach kit, and

  • A plastic bag for wet towels and bathers
  • A dry bag for clothes
  • A bucket or basin to wash off sandy toys
  • A ‘clean zone’, sand-free blanket or mat for eating and changing
  • A pop-up tent for changing
  • Waterproof phone case
  • Talcum powder to get sticky, wet sand off little feet. Just pop it on and brush it off – it’s magic!
  • A hand-held car vac for quick sand cleanups!

“The amount of times my kids have gone home in wet chafing swimming costumes because they didn’t want anyone to see them changing is unbelievable! Our pop up tent has been life changing! We all drive home comfy and cosy! Lastly, a sand proof picnic blanket is so perfect for a sand reprieve! The sand literally falls right through them!” – MoM Member

Get Safety Sorted Before The Fun Starts

It’s pretty hard to get the kids’ attention once you’re at the beach or pool, so the safety talk should really start at home. Our mums recommend chatting to the kids about:

  • Swimming between the flags at the beach
  • Setting a meeting spot in case anyone gets separated
  • Sunscreen: Always apply sunscreen 20 minutes before heading outdoors. And set alarms to reapply every two hours throughout the day. Reapply immediately after swimming or using a towel. 

Applying sunscreen at the start of the day and regularly throughout is so important, but it usually causes the most arguments. Kids don’t want to stop, teens assure you they ‘did it already’.

That’s where Banana Boat’s new SmartMist™ Sunscreen Spray SPF50+ actually makes a difference. The iconic sunscreen brand has just launched its newest product, which turns sunscreen time into something simple and fun. It’s an easy and convenient way to tick off sun safety – which isn’t always easy when it comes to kids!

Why Banana Boat SmartMist Sunscreen Spray makes sunscreen easier

  • The Smart Control Spray gives you the choice of a short spray for tricky spots or a long spray for larger areas like those wiggly little legs, making application simple and convenient. It also sprays from any angle – just spray, rub in and you’re ready for playtime.
  • Clear, lightweight formula that absorbs fast and with no greasy feel.
  • SPF50+ broad spectrum UVA and UVB protection and 4-hour water resistant.
  • Kids SmartMist™ is mild and gentle for kid’s sensitive skin, fragrance free and contains Aloe and Vitamin E.
  • Sport SmartMist™ features high-performance Powerstay Technology™, designed to stay on through sweat and water.

Banana Boat SmartMist makes those important sunscreen stops much easier and effective and is perfect for active Aussie families this summer.

Prep & Time It Perfectly

There’s nothing worse than kids itching to get to the beach while you’re trying to remember everything you need to pack – it makes everyone frazzled. So get prepped early – even the night before. And time your departure to minimise the amount of time in the car (and the amount of times the kids ask ‘are we there yet?!’.

“Packing the car the night before, always a huge help getting the bucket, cabana, and bag of spare clothes/towels in the boot. We usually leave straight after breakfast to avoid heavy traffic as the beach is an hour away.” – MoM Member

Pack Smart Snacks

Snacks are a must, but it can be tricky to know what’s going to survive a hot, Aussie summer day – and what’s good for hungry tummies. Here’s what our mums recommend:

  • Chopped fruit
  • Crackers
  • Boiled eggs
  • Drink bottles that have been frozen overnight

“We have a few allergies/intolerances, so being prepared with food is helpful and saves us the search and some money. I pre-chop carrots, cucumber, apples, boiled egg, in a handy separating container, a packet of chips, dip, and bring water bottles. If it’s a longer day planned at the beach I’ll bring lunch too.” – MoM Member

A chaos-free beach day. Yes please!

You don’t need a military-style plan to enjoy a sunny day out. A beach trolley, some prep, and an easy sunscreen like SmartMist™ are enough to help things run calmly – or at least calm-ish!

New Banana Boat Sport SmartMist™ Sunscreen Spray SPF50+ 200ml and Banana Boat Kids SmartMist™ Sunscreen Spray SPF50+ 200ml (RRP $28.00) are available now at leading pharmacies, supermarkets and online retailers nationwide. 


Always read the label and follow the directions for use. Wear protective clothing, a hat and sunglasses in addition to sunscreen. Reapply frequently every 2 hours or more often when sweating and immediately after swimming or using a towel. Avoid prolonged high-risk sun exposure.

  • So happy to share the magic of baby powder after a messy day at the beach or park! It’s been a game changer for us.
    Not quite as elaborate as the pop up tent, but a large towel with a hood has been great to discretely change out of bathers! It’s my husband’s go to now haha

  • My biggest tip is to be very clear who’s watching the kids, especially when they’re in the water. Like, actually verbally hand over and make sure it’s acknowledged if you’re going somewhere (like to the bathroom). That can definitely save lives, but also save panics about lost kids in crowded spaces.

  • Some really good tips here! I had no idea about the talcum powder hack – who would have known! That is amazing and I will definitely try it next time we go to the beach! It is definitely worthwhile getting things ready the night before though, especially if you want to leave before midnight lol.
