Searching for silicone placemats that fit IKEA highchairs? You are not alone. IKEA highchairs are a staple in Australian homes, and finding accessories that actually fit the tray properly makes a real difference at mealtimes. Our IKEA highchair silicone placemats are designed to sit snugly on popular IKEA tray sizes, available in five colours, with free shipping across Australia.
Why Silicone Works Better Than Plastic or Fabric
Silicone is food-safe, flexible, and built to last. Unlike plastic placemats that crack or fabric ones that need washing after every meal, a silicone placemat wipes clean in seconds. It handles heat, cold, and the general chaos of a toddler eating pasta with their hands.
- Food-grade silicone with no BPA, PVC or phthalates
- Raised edges to catch spills before they hit the tray
- Wipes clean with a damp cloth or goes straight in the dishwasher
- Soft enough not to scratch tray surfaces
- Flexible for easy storage and travel
If you have been wondering whether a suction base is worth it, the answer depends on your tray surface. Smooth IKEA trays generally give good suction. For tips on getting the best grip, this guide on fixing a suction plate that won't stay put covers the most common issues and how to solve them quickly.
Silicone Placemats That Fit IKEA Highchair Trays
The fit matters. A placemat that slides around or hangs over the edge of the tray defeats the purpose. Our placemats are sized to work with the ANTILOP and other popular IKEA highchair trays, sitting flat and covering the tray surface without bunching or lifting at the corners.
They come in five colours, so you can match your kitchen, your nursery, or just pick whichever shade makes mealtime feel a little less like a chore. Browse the full range of silicone placemats for IKEA highchairs to find your colour.
How to Choose the Right Placemat for Your Highchair
Not all highchairs are the same, and not all placemats fit every tray. Before buying, measure your tray surface and check the placemat dimensions. A good placemat should cover the main eating area, leave room for a bowl or plate, and have raised edges on at least three sides.
If you are still deciding on a highchair or looking at different feeding setups, our comparison of silicone versus traditional highchair placemats breaks down what to look for based on your tray type and your child's age. And if you are weighing up highchair options more broadly, this article on what to consider before buying a highchair is worth a read before you commit.
Caring for Your Silicone Placemat
Silicone is low maintenance. After meals, wipe it down with a warm damp cloth. For a deeper clean, run it through the dishwasher on the top rack. Avoid abrasive scrubbers that can mark the surface. Store flat or rolled, whichever suits your kitchen drawer.
With consistent care, a quality silicone placemat lasts well beyond the highchair stage. Many families move them from the highchair tray to a booster seat, then to a low table as the child grows.
