Fix suction on high chair trays
If your suction bowls or plates keep sliding, lifting, or ending up on the floor, the issue isn’t always the bowl or plate itself.
Many high chair trays and tables have textured or wooden surfaces that prevent suction from sealing properly.
Brightberry Suction Sticker creates a smooth surface on the tray, allowing well-designed suction bowls and plates to work as intended.
For the most reliable results, suction performance depends on both the tray surface and the design of the bowl or plate being used.
Why suction doesn’t work on some high chair trays
Suction relies on a smooth, airtight surface. Textured, grainy, or wooden trays allow air to enter underneath, which breaks the suction seal and causes bowls & plates to slide or lift.
By creating a smooth surface on the tray using a suction sticker, bowls and plates can grip properly, making mealtimes calmer and less messy.

FAQs
Many high chair trays have textured or matte surfaces, which stop suction from sealing properly. Suction needs a smooth, airtight surface to hold.
The Brightberry Suction Sticker creates that smooth surface directly on the tray, so suction bowls and plates can grip as designed.
Apply a Brightberry Suction Sticker to your tray. The sticker creates the smooth, even surface that suction needs to form a proper seal.
The bowl or plate design matters too: a suction base with full coverage and a firm press in the centre gives the best hold.
Yes, the Suction Sticker can be used on textured surfaces beyond plastic, including many wooden trays, to help suction bowls and plates adhere securely.
Because wooden surfaces vary, especially those with a lacquer or protective coating, we recommend applying the sticker to a small area first. Removing it from wood may lift or affect the finish on some surfaces, so it's worth checking compatibility before committing. By choosing to use the sticker on wood, you acknowledge that the surface may not be suitable.
Suction stickers improve the tray surface, but suction performance also depends on the design and quality of the bowl or plate.
Not all suction bases provide full coverage or consistent pressure. Brightberry bowls and plates are designed specifically to work with the suction sticker as part of a complete system.
The Brightberry Suction Sticker is designed to stay in place long-term, not to be removed and reapplied.
With proper care and daily use on your high chair tray, it can last for months. Do not place the tray with the suction sticker in a dishwasher, and avoid abrasive cleaners to get the most out of it. When it's time for a replacement, many families keep a 2-pack on hand so they're never caught short.
Yes. Apply the Suction Sticker to the tray first, then place the Brightberry Silicone Placemat on top. The Brightberry Placemat has a smooth, glossy underside specifically designed so suction bowls and plates can still grip through it.
Other placemats have a matte or textured surface that recreates the original suction problem. The Brightberry Placemat is specifically designed to work with suction tableware.
Layering order: Sticker on tray, Placemat on Sticker, tableware on Placemat.
