Mimi the Sardine Coated Organic Cotton Splashmat, Jungle

We had a plastic mat underneath our high chair for the first two years for our daughter... It was very useful, the only downside being that it wasn't that attractive and things sometimes got under it. All in all it was fine and we replaced it because it was getting worn out, and we thought we would get something more attractive and fun.

Enter the Splashmat - we put it under the high chair and gave it a go - but we expected it to be a little tougher and thicker so that we could move a chair on it without it bunching up, and that it would stay flat. It does not stay flat - Every time we pull the chair in and out it bunches up and wrinkles. Though we can straighten it out, it requires constant attention and re-laying. Not what we needed, and we have stopped using it and folded it away to use for picnics or as a beach throw, we guess. It's pretty and probably would be good for that, but fails as a under table mat to keep things clean.

I love this Splashmat. Its retro jungle theme is perfect for either a girl or a boy, and I noticed that some of the other splashmats are really small. This one fits well with our Graco highchair. I also like that this company doesn't use PVC or other chemicals that can be harmful. It is doing a good job protecting our carpet so far!

This is not my favorite splashmat. It's too lightweight and tends to bunch up under the high chair. You want a sturdy, easy to clean, non mobile splashmat. It was easy to clean by throwing in the washer. I can probably use it for something else.
