The Mate – a stay-put mat & plate for your little one

Don’t have a kid? The Mate isn’t for you then chap, but you’re welcome to keep reading for some free birth control.

Feeding a toddler often involves place a plate of food on-top of a large tray and praying you don’t have to get out the mop. Generally, it starts out innocently ’nough but eventually there is corn on the wall – even if you aren’t having corn, it still ends up there somehow.

The Mate just might help though. The center plate snaps into place on a skid resistant mat that might not be upset so easily. When it’s cleaning time, the plate pops out from the bottom only and the whole thing can be thrown in the dishwasher. The Mate might not improve your brats table manners but it will help with the whole bowl-throwing-’cross-the-room thing. Yours for $20 and comes in three colors.

  • Your son’s multitasking skills are obviously far superior to the toddler with the nifty plate on the right. Not only did he finish his food first, he did it while picking his nose. I’m only guessing based on the shot, but he may have done it all without looking as well. Top notch!
