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.
This product is available from the following retail stores*: Big W, Target, Toys R Us, Baby Stores, Woolworths/Safeway. The Heinz Baby Basics Unbelievabowl retails for around $11.99 and a 2 pack of spare bowls retails for around $9.99.
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.
2 years on and I only just tried these. The others just didn't cut it. My son would pick the auction off or it would just lose suction spontaneously. I just love my heinz unbelievabowl
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!
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.
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.
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.
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.
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!

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.
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.
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!
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.
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.
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.
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.
2 years on and I only just tried these. The others just didn't cut it. My son would pick the auction off or it would just lose suction spontaneously. I just love my heinz unbelievabowl
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
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!
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!

‘Trust Your Intuition’: How To Advocate For Your Child In Hospital
Mother’s instinct is a funny thing. At home, we trust it without question. But put us in a hospital setting with an unwell child, surrounded by doctors, nurses and monitors, and suddenly we start doubting ourselves.
What if I’m overreacting? What if I’ve got it wrong?
So we stay quiet, even when we know something just isn’t right with our child. I’ve been there myself – when my usually ‘tough’ son was doubled over with stomach pain. I was told in the emergency department that it probably wasn’t his appendix. But I knew he wouldn’t have begged me to take him to hospital unless it was serious. Because I know him better than anyone. Turns out, it was appendicitis.
It’s a really common place for parents to land. You’re grateful for the care your child is getting, but at the same time, you feel this huge responsibility to speak up if something doesn’t feel right.
Here’s the thing though: that instinct you’re feeling? It matters more than you might think.
Why your gut feeling matters more than you realise
According to Paediatric Nurse Unit Manager, Canterbury Hospital, Leticia Jackson, parents bring something to the hospital that no test or machine ever could.
“Parents often say they ‘just know’ when something isn’t quite right with their child, and in a hospital, that gut feeling is incredibly valuable,” she explains.
Leticia Jackson, Paediatric Nurse Unit Manager, Canterbury Hospital
While medical teams rely on observations, tests and equipment, parents know the little details. The way your child usually smiles. How they react when they’re tired. What’s normal for them.
So when something feels “off”, even if everything looks okay on paper, it can actually be an early warning sign.
“When parents trust those instincts and speak up, this creates a powerful partnership that can sometimes catch a problem before it becomes an emergency,” Leticia says.
Worried about speaking up? You’re not alone
A lot of parents hesitate about advocating for their child.
You don’t want to come across as difficult. You don’t want to question the people caring for your child. And sometimes, you just don’t feel confident enough to push the issue.
Leticia gets it.
“It is completely understandable for parents to feel hesitant,” she says. “No one wants to be seen as difficult or to second-guess the hardworking people caring for their child.”
But here’s a helpful way to look at it: you’re not challenging the medical team, you’re helping them.
Parents are the constant. Staff change shifts, care for multiple patients, and rely on snapshots of information. You’re there the whole time, noticing the subtle changes.
“Our medical team doesn’t view a concerned parent as overreactive, but as a partner,” Leticia explains. “Your voice matters.”
Remember, we know our children better than anyone.
What to do if you’re worried: the Raise It process
If you’re in a NSW public hospital or health service and you’re worried about you or your child’s condition getting worse, there is a clear process you can follow called Raise It.
Raise It is designed to help patients, carers and family members get help fast if they’re worried about a change in their loved one’s condition.
Here’s how it works:
Talk: Start by speaking to a nurse, midwife, doctor or health worker about your concerns.
Ask: Still worried? Ask to speak to the nurse or midwife in charge and request a Clinical Review.
Call: If you’re still concerned, you can escalate further using the Raise It process to get urgent attention from a senior health worker.
You don’t need medical knowledge. You don’t need to be certain. If you feel something isn’t right, or your child is getting worse, Raise It. You just need to speak up.
What should you actually look out for?
Sometimes it’s not one big, obvious sign. It can be small, subtle changes that just don’t sit right.
Things like:
Changes in breathing (fast, laboured or noisy)
Skin looking pale, mottled, or developing unusual rashes
Your child being unusually drowsy, floppy, or hard to wake
Confusion or behaviour that’s out of character
Pain that isn’t improving with treatment
Or simply that feeling that your child is getting worse
And sometimes, it’s just that gut feeling you can’t explain.
That’s enough.
“You are helping us, not bothering us”
If there’s one message Leticia wants parents to take away, it’s that you aren’t bothering the medical team, you’re helping them.
“In my years as a Nurse Unit Manager, I can say with absolute certainty that many critical changes in a child’s condition have been identified first by a parent. While our clinical staff are highly skilled at performing regular observations and interpreting data, parents are the only constant presence who truly know their child’s baseline behaviour, personality, and what is normal for them.
“I have seen numerous instances where a parent’s insistence that their child is “just not themselves” – despite vital signs appearing relatively stable – has prompted a deeper clinical review that uncovered everything from early signs of sepsis to a life-threatening respiratory crisis.”
The Raise It process exists because healthcare teams know how important parents are in keeping children safe.
“Speaking up doesn’t mean you don’t trust the team,” she says. “It means you’re partnering with us to make sure nothing gets missed.”
And if you’re still worried about being judged?
“Whether your concern turns out to be something or nothing, your instinct to raise it is always valid.”
You should never second guess yourself when it comes to yours or your childs health- or anyones for that matter. Go with your thoughts. It is natural to want to protect a loved one especially when it comes to health situations, and the feeling you get when you think you didnt do enough to advocate or fight for them…it is not a kind or nice way to feel. Many people have ended up being heartbroken and picking up pieces for years because of feeling they didnt do enough.
A very good and informative article. I have read so many stories about mums just knowing when things are not right and demanding second and third opinions until they got the right answer. Sometimes mums just know. It is our job as care takers of our families. Listen to your gut!
Years ago, I spoke up for my 14-year-old daughter, but my concerns weren’t fully listened to. I’ve always wished I had pushed harder. She was sent home without much testing, and two days later, she passed away.
So, if you ever have concerns—no matter how minor—please speak up and keep advocating. Trust your instincts; they are there for a reason.
This is so important for parents to know how to raise it further if they don’t think their child is receiving the medical support they need! I know this article refers to the NSW system but other systems have similar procedures just with different names. I know in QLD it’s called Ryan’s Rule.
It’s so important to follow your gut instincts and express your concerns indeed. I have never hesitated to advocate for my children in various situations and I don’t care what other people think about it. Not all doctors and medical staff appreciate it when you question them, I’ve experienced that it may result in angry indignant responses.
How true this is! While nurses and doctors are the medical professionals doing their job on the daily, we know our children better than anyone and what is ‘normal’ for them. I would always speak up if I had noticed any changes in my child’s health and encourage other parents to do so too. No question is silly!
This really is such an important issue and a good topic to discuss with people, I am often surprised that people are worried about being judged. This is not something I care about; the priority is for the care and health of everyone is my family. Parents know their children and need to work with health professionals for the best outcomes for their children.
This is such an important issue to raise, and no one should ever feel ashamed, nervous or that they are being OTT for advocating for their kids, themselves or loves ones in hospital. In QLD we have Ryan’s Rule. A three step process where your concern will be escalated if they believe the patients condition isn’t improving or is worsening.
I have never been afraid to advocate for my children and partner and extended family and also friends. It is so important to listen and to trust intuition. When people have not listened, I have persevered and kept on with insisting on care and making sure they truly listened and took action.
