Brand comparison
Olababy vs ezpz: an honest comparison
This comparison lives on Olababy's own site, so we'll keep it factual. Both brands work in 100% food-grade silicone, and where they overlap the design choices differ in ways that matter for how your baby learns to eat and drink. Here's what actually separates the two lines, so you can pick based on what your baby needs rather than on whose ad you saw last.
The short version
- ezpz is best known for its all-in-one suction mats and plates (the Happy Mat line) and its Tiny Cup open cup, with products organized around developmental stages.
- Olababy is best known for the leaf-shaped training spoon a baby can pre-load themselves, open training cups with a weighted, tip-resistant base, 2-in-1 straw cups, and suction bowls and plates with a parent-release tab.
- Both brands: 100% food-grade silicone, free of BPA, PVC, lead, and phthalates; dishwasher safe; designed around self-feeding skills rather than convenience-first spill sealing.
Cups: Tiny Cup vs Olababy's cup system
ezpz's Tiny Cup ($11.49 on their site as of July 2026) is a small open silicone cup for early drinking practice: one cup, one job. Olababy covers the same journey and then keeps going, in stages: First Cup (2oz, $9.99) for those first supervised sips, the Silicone Training Cup ($12.99) with a weighted base that resists elbow-swipe tip-overs, and the Training Cup with Lid + Straw that works lid-off for open-cup practice at the table and lid-on for spill-resistant straw drinking in the car. A single open cup covers one stage; a system that grows from first sips to diaper-bag straw cup without re-buying is the Olababy difference.
Plates and bowls: mat-first vs bowl-first
ezpz's signature idea is the placemat and plate fused into one piece that suctions to the table, great for restaurants and for babies who treat plates as frisbees. Olababy's divided suction plate ($19.99) and suction bowl take a different angle: a strong suction base that locks to the highchair tray until a parent releases the tab, in a standalone dish that's lighter to pack and takes less dishwasher real estate than a full mat. Neither approach is “right”: mats shine on flat dining tables, standalone suction dishes shine on highchair trays and small sinks.
Utensils: where Olababy leans in hardest
Utensils are Olababy's signature category the way mats are ezpz's. The Training Spoon ($14.95 for the set) won the Red Dot Design Award for its leaf shape: soft enough for gums, flexible enough that a baby can scoop (or pre-load and hand over) long before they could manage a rigid spoon. For baby led weaning families, that self-feeding-first design is usually the deciding factor. Our BLW utensils guide goes deeper on when each utensil style helps.
How to choose
- Eating out constantly? ezpz's mat format earns its keep on restaurant tables.
- Highchair-tray meals and first self-feeding? Olababy's suction dishes, leaf spoons, and staged cups are built exactly for that arc.
- On a budget? Prices overlap heavily, so compare the specific pieces you need rather than the brands.
