Q&A on the Trebimbi Click

Q&A on the Trebimbi Click
We had a lot of questions from readers about the Trebimbi Click kids' utensil set we reviewed on Sunday. Here are a few points we may have left out of the review:

The Click set is not for toddlers - it is ideal for children ages 4 and up. I should have mentioned this in the review, as the readers who wrote in were almost certainly thinking of toddler tableware.

That said, there is a stage of childhood in which smaller utensils are appreciated when offered, but well after children can handle tableware handily and would find "toddler" utensils frustrating (fork won't spear, knife won't cut). This set is designed for that age. The utensils' front ends are scaled a bit better to children's mouths, although the bowl of the spoon is larger than some. Also, some common utensil dimensions are a bit on the long side and/or a bit heavy for young children to handle comfortably. See the image below for a size comparison of the Click's fork with our "standard" forks, which are about 7" long. We take great pains to size things like umbrellas, scissors, brooms... for what? Does the same reasoning apply here? In the end, whether a child, or an adult, should have a set of utensils that better matches their size (whether this set or any other), or whether they should use a standard size they will "grow into," is a matter of family preference.

Z doesn't have any trouble with the Lego-like bit (not made by Lego, no affiliation with Lego, not compatible with Legos) on the handle. She holds them as pictured above.

The two best things about this utensil set are (a) the pieces stick firmly together, meaning you can take them somewhere as a set, and (b) they are cute.

Jasper likes using them and he’s 14 months. That said, I watch him pretty closely with the fork and knife.
