Bambinos Tidy Table Tray, Green

We used to use the Tiny Diner Mat but my 19 month old can easily pry it off the table and throw it which she does every single time. It was more of a pain to use. Then I saw this Bambinos tray on here and I ordered it right away. It clips right to the table and is very secure. Really easy for my husband or I to move it but too hard for my toddler to. Perfect! I love how it has the green removable tray on top. It's also too hard for my toddler to pull it off, but easy for us too. It's easy and quick to wash and I just throw it in the dish rack and it's dry by next meal time. She also uses the cup holder too which is funny but I like how it teaches her where to put her cup.We've only had this a week so far but I think we will take it to restaurants with us as well. It will give her somewhere to put her food that is clean and it's easy to unclip and take with us.

This tray is excellent for the toddler who throws around his/her place mat.It is held in place by a spring-hinged clip. The tray 'pops' off for washing.The usefulness of the removable tray is limited because the tray itself clips on/off and takes about 1 second to remove. I am a bit worried that my 20 month old son will learn this trick soon. I would suggest this improvement:Have a screw clamp instead of clip for the tray. This would be useful for several reasons (1) a toddler would not be able to remove it from the table, (2) pinched fingers would be less likely from the clip snapping shut, (3) the back side (against the toddler stomach) could be 'flat' instead of having a ledge where food accumulates in difficult to clean places.

I love this tray, we have a pub height dinner table so it was difficult for my son to sit at the table in his high chair. This tray allowed us to attach a booster seat to one of our higher chairs and for him to eat with us! The green top detaches so you really get two uses out of it sometimes I use the green for breakfast and then the white underneath for lunch so it has time to dry in the sink after hand washing. Its also great for those really messy dinners like spaghetti so they can still have a clean tray for dessert or another course. The green top has a lip that traps many potential spills or drops from their silverware - which means less food on the ground :) (A definite win in my house)We have not brought it to a restaurant as I have seen many other reviewers do use it for - I have enough to carry when I leave the house that this just seemed over the top to me but we definitely bring it on vacation when we are going to other peoples homes who do not have high chairs or other things that accommodate children. Its really convenient in that sense and as many parents know familiar items out of town are always a plus.

I would suggest not buying this one. It seems great in the ad however as other have said, the green lip designed to catch food that doesn't make it in the mouth, is too high for most kids younger than 3 yrs old. That's not even the worst part. Once kids are tall enough to reach over the lip, another problem starts. Since it's only attached at the end nearest the kid not in the front it is EASILY tipped over, food ending up all over the kid and floor. We've taken to duct taping the front end to the table to keep it stable. If you have another option, choose it. Stay away from this one. I'd give it a ZERO if I could.

It's doing as it is supposed to, which is all I can hope for. My 11mos old LO is currently not strong enough to pull it off the lip of the table, but I imagine in time she will be. I'm hoping by then she won't be interested in pulling it off and will simply focus on the food {fingers crossed}. Our table has a narrow lip to clamp this onto so I imagine without that this would be excellent. But since there's little table to clamp onto, the clamp strength is weakened. Regardless, I'm happy with the product. It is super easy to clean (you could literally just use a warm, damp paper towel and it's as good as new - but I sanitize with soap and disinfectant wipes), easy to snap on and take off the green tray from the white base, and it's not conspicuous. Very tastefully designed with a gender neutral color palette. I, nor my LOL, is bothered by the raised lip on the green tray that others have taken issue with. It actually helps her keep her sleeves out of her food. I'm considering buying a Kaboost Chair Booster so she sits a little taller, but I may not since it's not a necessity.

We purchased 2 Tidy Table trays for our daughters and have been very pleased with the overall quality of the product. Our daughters enjoy their "special" spaces at the big table and we've enjoyed the easy of portability and clean up. As advertised, the tray does in fact catch more of the dropped food and is deep enough to contain spills when the children aren't using sippy cups. In the past this would have ended up on the table, child, chair and floor.The tray clips on very easy and has enough tension and grip to not slide or budge with out damaging the table or being a challenge to open or close. We're very happy with ours and will more than likely get them as gifts for our friends. I would totally recommend this product.

I'm not terrifically impressed with this tray, but we still use it. We use it for our 6 month old, who doesn't feed himself, so I'm not sure how it would hold up to a messy toddler. It's great that it is so easy to remove. However, I don't like 1) how high off the table and unwieldy it seems with the green part snapped on (we use just the bottom and it works fine), and 2) how the clip on edge is right up against my baby. NOTE: we use the type of high chair that attaches to the table.
