Summary
Stainless steel construction means zero plastic leaching worries — a top pick in granola-parent communities. Toddlers love playing with them even outside of popsicle time.
Wirecutter's top pick after testing 31 molds and making nearly 200 popsicles. Silicone construction peels away cleanly, includes a drip tray, and is dishwasher safe.
Pros
- Stainless steel — no plastic, no BPA concerns
- Durable and long-lasting
- Toddlers enjoy playing with the molds as toys
- Recommended by health-conscious parent communities
- Silicone flexes away from frozen pops without a fight
- Built-in drip tray catches messes — critical for toddlers
- Dishwasher safe, unlike many competitors
- Compact tray design stores easily in freezer
Cons
- Harder to find than mainstream brands
- Metal conducts cold — can be chilly to hold for small hands
- Typically pricier than silicone or plastic alternatives
- Plastic molds can occasionally be finicky to remove pops from
- Standard size may be large for very young toddlers
- Not a toddler-specific shape or size
Our take
If you're avoiding plastic entirely, these are the ones to get. The bonus that toddlers play with them like toys is a real win.
If you want one mold that just works every time, this is it. The drip catcher alone makes it worth it for toddler use.
