A revolutionary feeding set for modern families
As a recipient of the Innovation Award, the Hegen Mealtime Starter Kit with Foldable Placemat was recognised for its cutting-edge design and exceptional functionality. Designed for modern, on-the-go lifestyles, this portable, all-in-one baby feeding set allows parents to enjoy stress-free meals with their little ones anytime, anywhere.
Â
Â
True to its âReady in a Snapâ concept, a simple unbuttoning of the Sqround clasp is all it takes to unfold the non-slip placemat from its pouch, instantly turning any flat surface into a hygienic feeding spot â whether at home, in a restaurant or on holiday. Paired with Hegenâs ergonomically designed Multi-stage fork and spoon with case, the kit encourages self-feeding and makes mealtimes fun, easy, and convenient for both parents and toddlers. Its ability to accommodate up to two Hegen PCTO 150ml/5oz Breast Milk Storage containers enhance its versatility and functionality.
The Mealtime Starter Kit is the centrepiece of Hegens Mealtime Collection, which embodies simplicity, innovation and multi-functionality. Informed by scientific research, the collection supports all weaning styles, helping children transition to independent eating while fostering sensory development and ensuring easy cleanup for caregivers.
