Match the right Bumkins silicone stretch lid to your Grip Dish, Grip Plate, or Grip Bowl. Learn the three sizes, fit rules, and storage tips before you buy.
Quick answer
Match the lid to the dish you already own: the 5-section lid fits the 5-section Grip Dish and Grip Tray, the 3-section lid fits the 3-section Grip Dish and Grip Plate, and the bowl lid fits the larger Grip Bowl. If you own more than one dish shape, buy the lid that corresponds to each one rather than trying to stretch a single lid across all of them.
Why the lid has to match the dish, not just the brand
Bumkins silicone stretch lids are molded to fit specific dish outlines, so a lid made for a 5-section tray will not seal correctly on a round bowl or a 3-section plate. The catalog lists each lid separately by the dish it is designed for, which is why there is no universal lid in the lineup. Buying the wrong size means a loose fit, food leaks, and frustration rather than the time-saving storage you wanted.
The practical rule is simple: count the sections or check the dish shape before you order. If you are unsure which dish you have, look at the bottom of the plate or tray for the section count, or measure across the rim. The lid product pages list the exact compatible dishes, so use those as your final check.
The trade-off: one lid per dish versus a universal cover
A dedicated lid gives you a snug, leak-resistant seal because it is shaped for one dish. The trade-off is that you need a different lid for each dish type, so a family with a Grip Plate, a 5-section Grip Dish, and a Grip Bowl will need three lids. Universal stretch lids can cover multiple containers, but they rarely seal as tightly on divided plates and trays, and they may not stay put in a diaper bag or fridge shelf.
If you mostly store leftovers in one dish, buy that single lid and skip the rest. If your child uses different dishes on different days, the three-lid set is the more practical long-term choice because each lid does its job without stretching or leaking.
When a lid is not the right storage solution
These lids are designed to fit Bumkins Grip dishes, plates, and bowls, so they will not fit standard round containers, glass storage bowls, or other brands' dishes. If your main goal is storing food in a variety of containers, a set of universal silicone lids or a dedicated storage container is a better fit. The Bumkins lids also do not add compartments or change the dish's function; they simply cover it.
For families who want to prep food ahead and stack dishes in the fridge, the lid works well because it sits flush on the dish rim. But if you need a lid that can go from fridge to oven or microwave, check the product page for heat limits before assuming it is oven-safe; the catalog does not list oven use for these lids.
Decision rules for choosing your lid
- If you own a 5-section Grip Dish or Grip Tray: Choose the Silicone Stretch Lid for Grip Dish 5 Section, Grip Tray. It is molded for that divided layout, so it covers all five sections at once. Check the section count on the dish bottom before ordering.
- If you own a Grip Plate or 3-section Grip Dish: Choose the Silicone Stretch Lid for Grip Dish 3 Section, Grip Plate. It fits both the plate and the 3-section dish, so one lid covers two dishes in your cabinet. This is the only lid that fits the Grip Plate.
- If you own a larger Grip Bowl: Choose the Silicone Stretch Lid for Grip Bowl. It is shaped for the bowl's round rim and is described as leak-resistant for fridge or freezer storage. Do not use a plate lid on the bowl; the shapes do not match.
- If you own more than one dish type: Buy one lid for each dish you actually use for leftovers. If you only store food in one dish, buy that single lid and skip the others. Match lids to your most-used dishes, not to the full lineup.
