Baby Products Reviews of Graco Splat Mat
Customer Review: Good Protection
Summary: 4 Stars
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.
Customer Review: great investment -- long lasting, too

I bought one of these when my oldest started using his high chair. I wish I'd bought more than one! Although it can be a pain to clean them (and I'm not sure I'd throw it in a washing machine), I'd rather rinse the mat off in the sink than have to keep mopping the floor or going for the scrub brush and the Resolve to clean the carpet. It's thick and durable, too. My oldest son used his for Playdough and fingerpaints once he was old enough to sit at the table. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend it... and I most certainly would NOT recommend a shower curtain, considering how easily those things tear and rip.Customer Review: SAVE YOUR MONEY BUY A TABLE CLOTH

I recently purchased a splat mat for my 11 month old son. I brought it home and realized that it was much too small. Also, the material was very flimsy. Here's what I did. I returned the mat the very next day. Then I headed over to [another store] and purchased a circular vinyl table cloth. It only cost me [$] and it works great! It covers a larger area to protect my tile against the inevitable spills. It's heavier so it doesn't bunch up when my son's high chair gets moved around. Finally, I was able to find a pattern that went with the decor in my kitchen.Customer Review: San Diego mother of a 13 month old

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!Customer Review: Must have!!

If you're tired of picking off food that's stuck on your carpet or cleaning up areas with carpet cleaners and a vacuum, this product is for you. The Splat Mat is so much easier to clean with just a damp sponge. The size is just right to catch anything your toddler may drop, whether it's pieces of food or the entire dish. The mat is also attractive so there's no reason why you shouldn't leave it on the floor. There's really no need to throw it in the washer. If the food stains it, use any cleanser and it'll come right out.
