Summary
Holds just one ounce of liquid, limits mess, and doubles as a teether — making it the go-to for babies and young toddlers. Easy to fill, easy to clean, and grows with your child.
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
- One-ounce capacity is perfectly sized for babies and young toddlers
- Functions as a teether, soothing gums while eating
- Limits mess significantly compared to standard molds
- Easy to fill and clean
- Useful past babyhood — grows with the child
- 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
- Very small capacity means refilling often for older toddlers
- Less widely available than mainstream brands
- Higher price per pop given small size
- 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
This is the one to get if your kid is under 18 months. The one-ounce size is genius — no waste, no giant frozen mess, and it soothes gums at the same time.
If you want one mold that just works every time, this is it. The drip catcher alone makes it worth it for toddler use.
