Protect Your Floor at Meal Time with a Baby Splash Mat
A splash mat can come to your rescue when baby or infant feeding time becomes a messy affair!
If you want to spare yourself the hassle of picking up crumbs and mopping up spills on the floor after meal time, then treating yourself to a splash mat is a decision you won’t regret.
These wonderful feeding time accessories are worth their weight in gold when it comes to slashing the time you spend cleaning up when your little boy or girl has finished breakfast, lunch, dinner or a snack in their high chair.
You simply spread out the waterproof mat below the high chair on the floor, just before meal time, and let it go to work at catching any annoying spills and scattered foodstuff.
No more trying to scrub bits of food and spilled liquids off your carpet – a quick wipe of your splash mat with a sponge or cloth and some mild soap liquid is all that’s required.
Here are some of the most popular splash mats at Amazon for you to take a look at.

After baby feeding time, you just move the high chair away and clean the mat with the minimum of fuss.
A clean splash mat is fine for a child to sit on and play calmly with a few favourite toys after a meal – but it won’t be suitable for any lively activity such as rolling, diving and jumping.
Splash mats – sometimes referred to as splat mats, feeding mats or drop cloths – come in various shapes and sizes – popular shapes are round, square, hexagonal, rectangular and oval.
The primary aim of this type of mat is to act as a carpet and floor protector from stains and liquid spills so it’s nowhere near the standard of a dedicated play mat when it comes to providing a safe surface to play.
A non-slip splash mat can be placed under your little one’s high chair, bouncer or rocker. You can also place an easel or blackboard on this type of mat to catch paint drips or chalk powder.
Some parents opt to use a splash mat below a table to catch any messy bits of plasticine, Play-Doh or clay that gets scattered around during a kids’ modelling session. Others use them for floor protection when their kids get a bit older and start enjoying arts and crafts activities at home.
Another use for one of these versatile baby care accessories is for catching any mess and spills from an indoor sand and water table. You could even place one under a baby bath when washing your little one or below a sand pit in your garden.
