Product Description

Editorial Review

Because feeding your baby or toddler can often be a messy affair, this Splat Mat was designed to protect your floors and make cleaning up after meals easier. The Splat Mat is made of heavy-duty vinyl and measures 3 by 4 feet when unfolded, and a compact 5 by 10 inches when folded up for storage or travel. Printed with nontoxic ink, the Splat Mat wipes up easily and can double as a playmat during arts and crafts and messy painting projects. --Chris Burns

Product Description

Protect the floor, carpet, furniture--and your child when outdoors--from minor disasters with this Splat Mat. The heavy-duty mat saves areas of the home from minor disasters and protects baby from foreign obstacles hidden in the lawn. The easy-to-clean vinyl surface only requires the use of a damp sponge. Generously sized at 3 by 4 feet, it can cover a 12-square-foot area, yet folds down to a convenient 5-by-10-inch size for travel. It’s perfect for tots just learning to feed themselves or who play with finger paints and clay.

4.0 out of 5 stars Definitely a necessity when baby starts feeding him/herself, August 7, 2001

This splat mat is nice and large to protect your floors. My 16 month old can throw food far enough to still get the floor dirty, but in general this mat catches most of the mess (and there's a lot of THAT with a toddler learning to feed herself). The major plus for this mat is that you can toss it into the washing machine. I'm planning to buy a few extra mats so we can just throw the dirty ones into the laundry. The mat also cleans up well with a sponge. It's also thin enough to take along on trips. The minus to the mat is that if you have a highchair with wheels often the mat wrinkles up if you are trying to move or turn the chair. I wish it had more "grip" on the bottom to hold it steady. Overall a good product, and definitely worth having.

4.0 out of 5 stars Good Protection, August 3, 2001

This review is from: Graco Splat Mat (Baby Product)

This item protects your floor from the activities of baby in a high chair, or when baby is playing on the floor.

Obviously, if you have a ceramic tile, laminate, or vinyl floor where you will be feeding baby, this product may be unnecessary.

However, if you have carpet, especially light colored, this item is essential. It is basically impermeable by liquids, and cleans easily.

A few words of warning: When baby gets older, 3 feet by 4 feet may not be enough area to protect against baby's launching of unwanted food. Also, the mat is not as thick as the product description makes it sound. It will get wrinkled and creased with constant use, so its appearance may be diminished. With this type of product, that seems like a small tradeoff to me.

This review is from: Graco Splat Mat (Baby Product)

I GOT HIS SPALT MAT AS A GIFT AND HAVE JUST NOW STARTED TO USE IT. WE HAVE WHITE BERBER CARPET AND IT HAS SAVED US FROM A FEW STAIN INCIDENTS BUT THE MAT WRINKLES UP UNDER THE HIGH CHAIR TOO EASILY AND I'VE ALREADY MELTED IT WHEN IT GOT CAUGHT UNDER MY VACUUM BY ACCIDENT! BUT IT IS VERY EASY TO WASH (MACHINE WASH IN COLD AND HANG DRY IN THE BATHROOM) I DONT THINK MY DINING ROOM IS LARGE ENOUGH FOR IT THOUGH AS IT REALLY DOES TAKE UP A LOT OF SPACE! IF YOU HAVE THE GRACO TOT-LOC TABLE HIGH CHAIR, THIS WOULD BE GREAT FOR YOU!
