Silicone Children's Place Mat - Baby Mumbo | Food-Grade Quality with Unique Raised Edges for Spill Prevention | Lightweight, Portable, and Spill-Proof Tray (Giggle Green)

I was a little hesitant to buy this place mat due to its price. I wasn't just buying one but two for my 4 year old and 2 year old so the idea of spending almost $40 on place mats for kids who'd only use them for a few years seemed a little out there. The other place mats that I have for my kids were only a few bucks and had pictures of their favorite cartoon characters on it but I wanted to try these out for the following reasons:1. Looking for something that my mischievous son wouldn't be able to push around so easily on the table2. Dishwasher safe3. Intrigued by the the little food catcher on the bottom that hangs over the side of the tableI have to say these place mats have completely met my expectations! At first I thought they seemed small, almost like it was only meant for infants. I almost didn't even try them out thinking they were too small but I figured I should try it for one meal. My kids plates fit perfectly within the confines of the mat, though there wasn't much room above it. Immediately, I saw the benefits of having this mat, when my son's plates and bowls didn't get pushed around as easily with his moving around while eating. The biggest benefit to this though is the little food catcher. The time that it's saved me in making the clean up easier is definitely worth the price paid. After three meals, my dining table edge has always been caked with food which I would have to scrub, scrub, scrub to get out but no longer! In addition, I can just throw the mats in my dishwasher in the evening and because they are thin and flexible, it can fit any way that I need it to. These mats were definitely worth its price in the time that it's saved me in clean up. I only wish I had known about this when my kids first started on solids. I highly recommend this as part of any parent's arsenal of feeding related supplies.

I wish I had this sooner. My 15 month old loves going out to eat. But I was always grossed out because she rubs her food and hands on the table and then eats the food. She is too young for a plate because she will just toss it. I throw this down on the table and put her food on it and none of her food touches the table. It covers a large surface area. Since it has a lip that hangs over the table, it prevents her from licking or biting the table, too.I have used it on various surfaces in different restaurants and it sticks. The catch tray is amazing. While stuff does hit the floor, when you see what the tray does catch, you will see how helpful it really is. It folds up easily in my diaper bag. After we eat, I throw it in a plastic grocery bag in my diaper bag and clean it when I get home.

Does what it should, makes cleanup easy and catches small food that drops. I was disappointed in the size of the mat though, it is very small. Seems more for small infants instead of toddlers. Seems like it is well made, would recommend this over cheap, plastic mats.

I got a green colored one at a garage sale and it worked so well containing all my beads from rolling off the desk. The little tray at the edge of the desk captured all my rogue beads before they fell to the floor. It also has a mini lip surrounding the entire mat so the beads stay within the mat. The green one did NOT allow me to see the true bead colors, so I ordered the white. Sorry folks hoping for a review for toddlers eating off of this. Truthfully, I don't think white is the best color for food spills (cause it will probably stain the mat), but in my case, the white works so wonderfully! This is way better rather than using that felted bead mat that goes bad after a while.

These are great, they stick in the sense that they don't slide around on the table, however, my son is usually determined to pull them up off of the table. So it is a good idea, but we need something with a little more suction to the table. Aside from that, the little catch all stays in place and keeps its shape, they are easy to clean, and fold up however you like so they are easy to throw into a diaper bag.

I ordered this in 2020 and I'm still using it for my son who's 6. This item still looks brand new. Doesn't stain even after years of spaghetti sauce. Love this product and highly recommend. Going to order again for my daughter!

i bought this product three years ago and have washed it hundreds of times and it still looks brand new. it stays in place and is great for catching most food that doesn’t make it to my 4 year old’s mouth. he’s still a somewhat messy eater so we still use it daily. i’m about to buy it in another color for my other child. highly recommend!

We take it to restaurants to put down on the table so we can put food on it because my kid is too young for a plate. Just throws the plates. It gives us peace of mind knowing it’s clean, is super easy to clean, great at catching food that falls for our self feeder, and stays suctioned even after numerous trips through the dish washer. Love love it.
