Best Baby Placemats

Who wants separate dishes and mats when you can get this all-in-one instead? This BPA-free silicone placemat has separate compartments (no food touching!) in the shape of a friendly face for baby to eat out of. The whole thing suctions directly to the table so little hands can’t pull it up and dump food out. You can even use it in the microwave to warm food and throw it in the dishwasher for cleanup. Easy-peasy, indeed! Don’t need all those food sections? We also love the Happy Bowl for its built-in tableware. If you have the popular Stokke Tripp Trapp high chair we love this ezpz x Stokke mat that’s designed specifically that is specifically designed to fit the tray for even easier clean up.

This placemat is big enough to cover a wide swath of table tops (it’s slip resistant too). We love the innovative design, including the raised edges that keep minor liquid spills contained to the mat. Made of 100% food-safe silicone, these placemats roll up tightly so you can throw one in your diaper bag, leave one on the high chair and have another in the dishwasher. They come in a bunch of colors and also make a great placemat for kids’ sensory activities and crafting.

While many silicone placemats can be on the pricier side, this pick from Cloud Island gives you a silicone option that’s budget-friendly. Cute, simple and super easy to clean, this placemat lasts through most toddler dining wear and tear, so you may be able to get away with having just one. We also love the green alphabet design.

This durable, rectangular placemat from Green Sprouts is truly versatile. It can serve as a placement under your favorite bowls and plates or even act as the plate since its raised edge helps contain finger foods and prevent spills. We even love the idea of using this as a tray of sorts for fun sensory activities. It’s also top-rack dishwasher safe for quick and easy cleanup.

Sneak in some learning time at the dinner table with these bright and educational mats. With four different options including letters, colors, shapes and numbers, your toddler can have a different lesson at every meal of the day (including snack time!). Since they’re made of thick, durable plastic, they aren’t flexible like silicone placemats, but the non-slip backing helps them have just as good of a grip on surfaces. The top layer is easy to wipe down with a cloth or rinse in the sink, and the UV color printing means they’ll last for years to come.

If you follow Montessori methods in your home, you’ll love this mat. With images that indicate a place for everything, this mat fosters independence and helps encourage self-feeding. Toddlers are sure to love identifying all of the pictures and practicing setting the table. It’s made of 100% food-grade silicone and large enough for messy eaters.

Need a quick on-the-go option for restaurants and all those questionably sanitary public spots? (Looking at you, picnic tables at the park.) Disposable placemats don’t have to be the flimsy paper ones the waiters give you. These plastic mats are made from material similar to plastic grocery bags, so spills won’t soak through onto the table. And these mats stick to everything. Just peel off the sticky backing cover on each of the four sides and stick it down, even on rough or uneven surfaces.

Does your little one live for throwing their cups, bowls and toys on the floor? If so, this is the mat for you. Made from 100% food grade silicone, this dishwasher safe placemat has four suction anchor points that secure it in place. It comes with two tethers that can attach to toys and a bottle bungee (sold separately) to keep cups from ending up on the floor. The mat is also super versatile, simply roll it up and you can use it on-the-go whether at a restaurant or even to cover shopping carts.
