Baby Splat Mats & Mealtime Mats

Mealtime with a baby is one of life’s great adventures, and yes, one of its messiest. At Nuby, our baby splat mats are designed to protect your floors, simplify cleanup, and let you focus on the fun part: watching your little one discover food for the very first time.

From first tastes of puree to enthusiastic self-feeding, a good mealtime mat makes every stage less stressful. Just lay it down, let them eat, and wipe it clean when you’re done.

Pair yours with our baby tableware and cutlery for a complete mealtime setup, or browse our full feeding collection for everything you need from the very first bite.

Why Nuby Splat Mats?

• Waterproof and wipe clean: Liquids, purees, and flying food stay on the mat, not your floor.
• Built for high chairs: Generous coverage around the base of your high chair means fewer surprises at cleanup time.
• Lightweight and portable: Fold it up and take it to restaurants, grandparents’ houses, or anywhere mealtime happens.
• Made to safety standards: Every Nuby product meets safety regulations, so you can focus on the moment.

What is a splat mat and do I really need one?

If your baby is eating solids, the short answer is yes. A splat mat sits under and around your baby’s high chair to catch the inevitable spills, drops, and enthusiastic food throws that come with learning to eat. Paired with a good bib, it takes cleanup from a scrubbing session down to a quick wipe.

When should I start using one?

As soon as solids begin, usually around six months. From the very first spoonful of puree, a feeding mat earns its place in your daily routine. Once finger foods and self-feeding enter the picture, you’ll wonder how you managed without one. Take a look at our No-Mess Mealtime Mat to get started.

How do I clean it?

Shake off any loose food, wipe down with a damp cloth or rinse under the tap, then leave to air dry fully before storing. Always check the care instructions on the individual product page for specific guidance.

How big should my splat mat be?

Big enough to extend well beyond all four sides of your high chair. The further food can travel, the more coverage you’ll want. Check individual product pages for dimensions.

Are Nuby splat mats safe?

Yes. All Nuby products are designed and manufactured to meet strict safety standards. Visit our FAQs page for more on how we approach product safety.
