SugarBooger ABC Jumbo Splat Mat

I bought a few of these splat mats by SugarBooger because I wanted something under my son's high chair that was quality material. I also wanted a few around the house because he was potty training, and it helped minimize the messes. I think the price of $24-$30 is a bit high, but I guess that's the price of something really good. I don't know if they make table cloths like they used to when I was kid, but these splat mats remind me of that: the vinyl top with cotton underside. If your parents or older relatives have those type of table clothes/picnic clothes laying around, that would be a cheaper and similar alternative to these. But of course, these mats have prettier designs and come with a case.

It took almost 6 weeks to get this (although I knew that ahead of time), but so far is definitely worth the wait. My little boy spills a lot with eating, and I used to mop my floor constantly. With this, my mess clean up time is much better. It's strong, durable, and the right size, and the other day I litterally just had to hang it outside and hose it off to clean it up. Comes in a nice pouch, not a strong plastic odor with it.

I just received my splat mat and I couldn't be happier. It is a great size for under the chair, big enough but not so big that it gets in the way. The color/print (green ABC pattern) is very cute and look exactly as represented in the photo. I agree with the other comment that it is very similar to a platicized drop-cloth. The patterened size is plastic coated, the floor side is a thick rough fabric, very similar to a painter's drop cloth. Very sturdy and allows me to slide the chair on my wood floors without changing the position of the mat under the chair (the mat slides with the chair). The only problem that I see (which is a problem with these type of mats in general and not specific to this item) is that you may have issues with the mat hitting your table legs. It is stiff enough that you won't really be able to bunch it up around a table leg, so you have to have enough room for the whole thing under your table. Measure before you buy, but if you have room, you will love...Read more
