Practical and smart: choose the perfect size for your needs. Our three mats are thoughtfully designed to suit your toddler's mealtime and playtime needs — from compact placemats for everyday meals, to extra-large mats for creative play, to generous floor mats that protect the space under the high chair. This guide explains what each mat is for, how they differ, and what makes the material itself safe and easy to live with.
Placemat
Perfect for everyday mealtimes, the placemat is ideal for toddlers practising Baby-Led Weaning (BLW). Its compact size fits most tables and helps keep mealtimes neat and stress-free. The surface wipes clean with a damp cloth, which matters when the same mat gets used across breakfast, lunch and dinner.
XL Placemat
Designed with creativity in mind, the XL placemat provides ample space for your toddler to explore food and art. It works well for BLW sessions where meals get particularly exploratory, and it doubles as a protective surface for painting, play-dough and baking. The larger footprint means the table underneath stays protected from spills, stray crayons and sticky fingers.
Floor Mat
Our high chair floor mat is designed to protect your wooden floors, tiles and rugs from spills and stains during mealtimes and Baby-Led Weaning. With a generous size of 120 x 95 cm, it provides enough coverage to catch the real mess zone around the high chair — food that falls from a high chair lands in a surprisingly wide radius.
Made from high-quality soft vinyl, the mat is durable, easy to clean and gentle on your floors. It's also multi-functional: it works well under kids' furniture, office chairs, or during crafts and playtime activities.

Conclusion
Choosing the right mat comes down to where the mess actually happens. A placemat handles the everyday; an XL placemat handles the larger, messier sessions where food, paint and play-dough share the same surface; and a floor mat handles everything that ends up below the high chair. Together, they cover the real mess zones in daily life with a small child, and they're built to be soft, safe and quick to clean.

FAQ
Which mat should I choose for Baby-Led Weaning?
Most BLW families use a combination: a placemat on the table to contain what stays at table level, and a floor mat under the high chair to catch what falls. If your toddler also uses the same space for painting, play-dough or baking, the XL placemat is worth considering for the extra surface area.
What is the floor mat made of, and is it safe?
Our mats are made from soft, flexible vinyl. They are free from phthalates and formaldehyde and comply with strict REACH standards. The material is water-resistant, anti-slip, and safe to use with floor heating.
How do I clean the mats?
The mats clean up with just water and soap. A damp cloth is enough for everyday spills, which means clean-up takes seconds rather than minutes after every meal.
Will the floor mat protect my wooden floor?
Yes. The floor mat is designed to protect wooden floors, tiles and rugs from spills, stains and scratches during mealtimes, BLW and play. At 120 x 95 cm, it covers the full mess zone around a high chair.
Can I use the mats outside?
Yes. The mats are suitable for both indoor and outdoor use, which makes them practical for garden meals, picnics and outdoor play.
Are the mats anti-slip?
Yes. All our mats are designed to be water-resistant and anti-slip, which matters both under a high chair and on a dining table where a toddler is self-feeding.
