The AEIOU metal utensils are overall very cute and aesthetically pleasing. I was hopeful that they will make a good utensil set for my two year old. I will review the spoons and forks separately from each other!
Spoons:
Overall I have no complaints about the spoons in the set. They have very cute silicone grips, and are easily held by my toddler. They don't get slippery. They are easy to wash and dishwasher safe, which is always a plus.
Forks:
The forks are where we ran into a problem. They are an odd shape, kind of more of a spork than a true fork, and the tines are completely flat instead of speared. It was very difficult for my toddler to use them to pick up his food, and even I had to give his noodles a good stab in order to get them on the fork. The neck of the fork is awkwardly long as well. Same cute silicone handles as the spoons, so no complaints there. My two year old also found that they make much more effective drumsticks for the table rather than a good fork -- he used his hands for the entire meal, but enjoyed playing the table drums.

Toddler Spoon and Fork Set Leaves Something to be Desired

Solid and comfortable to hold
Both our 18 month and 3 year old daughters find these AEIOU Metal Utensils very easy to hold. This is because of the big, rubberized handles that are easy to grip. The heads of the fork and spoon are a bright, shiny metal and nice and wide to hold a lot of food. They are durable and should be hard to bend or deform in the dishwasher.
My only issue with these eating devices is that the fork’s tines are rounded, not pointy. While this may be great for safety, it does not allow my toddlers to pierce food to pick it up as easily as ones with pointed tines. My girls are somewhat frustrated by this. Otherwise, this set of utensils are well made, solid, and work great.

Great Training Utensils for Little Hands
I’m very happy with this utensil set and have no complaints. It includes two spoons and two forks, which are perfect for my 22-month-old. The fork feels safe to use because the edges are nicely rounded. The utensils are also impressively sturdy, holding up well after multiple dishwasher cycles. I really appreciate the short handles, which make it easier for my little one to bring food to her mouth without spilling. Overall, this set is a fantastic tool for teaching toddlers how to use real utensils!

Great for building independent eaters
This set was the perfect choice for my one year old. The metal tines on the fork make it much easier to stab and pick up the food so she can actually learn to eat on her own. At the same time, I feel safe letting her use them because the rounded edges and overall shape fit into her mouth better than a regular fork. The grip is a good material too, the right thickness and not slippery. I can see her using these for years.
My only concern is that the spoon might not be deep enough when she holds more liquid foods. But it works fine for the thicker things she's trying right now.

Fantastic toddler utensils!
We LOVE these! To be honest we hadn’t looked too far into different types of utensils for our little ones. I didn’t know how much we needed these until we started using them (they were gifted to us)! Compared to another widely available brand these AEIOU utensils are wider, which is great for choking safety. They are also so pleasant and easy for little ones to hold with a very solid silicone handle that fits their hands perfectly! Our toddlers are always asking to use these over the other ones we have. We also love the color options and what a cute name it is! Well done to the designers! We recommend these to anyone in the market for nice toddler utensils.

A Toddler Win
We went heavy on baby led weening and tried all types of spoons. It was a bit frustrating because some of the spoons were way too long for my babies hands and he didn't want to use the all silicone ones! I think it's because he noticed his spoon was different from everyone else at the dinner table, so we have been just giving him regular spoons, but he obviously can't really use them at 1 years old. We'll once I found these spoons, I was surprised that he took a liking to them right away! I think it's because the bottom half of the spoons are metal, so he didn't reject them like other brands we have tried in the past! The chubby handle was perfect and he had no trouble grasping and feeding himself. Best of all, he wasn't throwing a fit at the table anymore, trying to get ahold of a metal spoon! The bed of the spoons are flatter and not as deep, which helped him scoop up and get the food into his mouth too. Super happy with these, they have helped us tremendously on our baby led weaning journey!

Little Utensils for Little Foodies
Upon getting this set of new utensils for my 22 month old, my 4 year old was intrigued to use a set also! They both loved the comfortable handles, which are soft and cushy in their little palms. I love how they are metal, and the fork is curved to help get little ones adjusted to metal utensils without anything too sharp. I do wish the spoon was slightly more curved in so they could scoop and get smaller items like rice into their mouth without slipping out. The other plus is how they can go into the dishwasher!! Unlike many utensils that can have bamboo, the grip and metal are dishwasher safe. I highly recommend these to help teach your little toddlers how to eat independently!

Super cute, easy-to-use utensils!
These utensils are perfect for my little guy! The handles are just the right size for him to hold and have a good grip. The shape of the fork works well to scoop foods since he’s still learning how to properly fork things. I love that these utensils are cute and most importantly, dishwasher safe. Very happy with this product!

A hand up at meal time
We have been through 3 sets of silverware with our, almost, 17 month old and the AEIOU metal silverware is the best we have tried yet.
Our son really gravitates towards whatever we are using so the fact that it is actually metal is a huge win! At first I was afraid they would be too short but he is thriving with it and I have been enjoying cleaning less off the floor! He can get a good grip with the thicker handle as well. I really like the fork has long enough tines to actually spear the food!
