She's 3.5, and doesn't usually have a preference. We haven't bought her any since she was 18 months though, since she's a big girl now and can use our plates. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/divided-plates-what-age-do-kids-stop-using-them#post-2355886 Fri, 13 Nov 2015 15:51:59 +0000 Pumuckl 2355886@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We never used them. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/divided-plates-what-age-do-kids-stop-using-them#post-2355828 Fri, 13 Nov 2015 15:13:29 +0000 NavyRN2012 2355828@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Ha, our 9 year old still uses them :shocked: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/divided-plates-what-age-do-kids-stop-using-them#post-2355624 Fri, 13 Nov 2015 13:13:59 +0000 oliviaoblivia 2355624@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Never used them . </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/divided-plates-what-age-do-kids-stop-using-them#post-2355619 Fri, 13 Nov 2015 13:09:43 +0000 autumnlove 2355619@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We use divided and regular plates. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/divided-plates-what-age-do-kids-stop-using-them#post-2355599 Fri, 13 Nov 2015 12:56:15 +0000 Foodnerd81 2355599@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We go back and forth depending on what's clean and what she is eating. I still use almost all plastic though, because I often walk away to do something while she is eating andnm still worry she will knock it over.

I like it for portion control. I have round plastic ones from Walmart but have my eyes on the Corelle ones when they restock. DD uses all sorts of divided plates (Disney &amp; replay brand). </p> [attach=394/15/nxrico.256x256.image.jpeg] https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/divided-plates-what-age-do-kids-stop-using-them#post-2355490 Fri, 13 Nov 2015 11:26:04 +0000 lamariniere 2355490@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We've never had any. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/divided-plates-what-age-do-kids-stop-using-them#post-2355463 Fri, 13 Nov 2015 11:14:00 +0000 rattles 2355463@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Mine never have taken to them. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/divided-plates-what-age-do-kids-stop-using-them#post-2355461 Fri, 13 Nov 2015 11:13:13 +0000 Mamaof2 2355461@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@regberadaisy: adult ones!

If I wanted to keep a really close on eye on him I could give him regular ones now at 2. But sometimes it's nice to not worry about things like broken plates :). </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/divided-plates-what-age-do-kids-stop-using-them#post-2355259 Fri, 13 Nov 2015 09:25:37 +0000 Adira 2355259@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We have the Oxo divided and regular plates and we just switch between them with no issues.

M has definitely been using our regular plates for well over 18m. I felt like it helped with pickiness? But now she's being picky so who knows?! 🙃</p> <p>Eta: I was at Target a few weeks ago and they had these cute lunch room style plates. I was sooo tempted!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/divided-plates-what-age-do-kids-stop-using-them#post-2355230 Fri, 13 Nov 2015 09:14:12 +0000 mediagirl 2355230@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I really like some of the new divided plates and my kid loves using them. When do kids stop using them? </p>
