ezpz Happy Mat Silicone Placemat

Every parent has had the moment where their baby grabs the bowl of carefully prepared sweet potatoes and launches it across the kitchen like a tiny catapult. The ezpz Happy Mat tries to prevent this with a silicone placemat that suctions to flat surfaces. And it mostly works. On smooth, clean tables and high chair trays, the suction holds up well against a 9-month-old's best efforts. By 14-15 months, most toddlers figure out how to break the seal, so the magic window is about 6-15 months. The divided sections are great for baby-led weaning because you can put different foods in separate compartments. It's one piece, no separate plate and placemat to deal with. Dishwasher safe and microwave safe. It doesn't work on textured surfaces, porous wood, or tablecloths. And it's basically a flat mat, so soups and watery purees will slosh over the shallow edges. For finger foods and chunkier purees during that early self-feeding stage, it's genuinely useful.
