If you have a small dinning table like mine you would probably find this useful as well. Try using a chair mat/office mat, they are clear (so they don’t look hideous) they are made out of a plastic material, you can sweep them or wipe it off with a paper towel. They cost about $45 the most and yes I know it’s $45 expensier than the bath towel but you don’t need to worry about the hassle of taking it on and off under your toddlers and baby’s chair. It covers most of the dinning table area.

i very much prefer bath towels that are made of cotton or polyester, they are very soft and easy to dry,“

What a great solution! We have one still in a high chair, but I think my other 3 are almost as messy (especially the 7-year-old!). We own a carpet cleaning company, which means we never get around to cleaning our own carpets! My hubby will REALLY appreciate this idea. Thanks for sharing!

We ended up doing the same thing — only with a dark beach towel (little man has a pretty big splash zone).

Thanks for the reminder–we did this with my first baby but I had totally forgotten the towel trick!

On the rare occasion we bring the high chair into the living room to eat we put newspaper down under the high chair. It’s a great use for all those old newspapers we have in a box under the desk.

Hi! The bath towel idea is good, but I use a clear plastic shower curtain liner. It’s one we used in the bathroom but replaced. It’s folded under the high chair in the main “splash zone”, and it blocks the solid and the wet spills.

I too love the bath towel. My kids are older and I use them to keep my fabric covered dining chairs protected.
