In this guide, we're focusing on two of the most loved product categories for feeding time: silicone high chair placemats and silicone bento lunch boxes. Whether you're setting up a high chair for the first time or packing lunches for a curious toddler, we've got practical advice plus a clear picture of what's available and how to get it.
Why Silicone Placemats Belong on Every High Chair
Mealtime with a baby or toddler is joyful, messy and often both at once. A good silicone placemat is one of those quiet workhorses that makes a real difference, and once you've used one, it's hard to imagine going without it.
Silicone placemats sit flat on the high chair tray or table surface and create a defined eating space for your baby. They're easy to wipe clean, they don't absorb food or odours, and they're free from BPA and other harmful plastics. Many parents also find that having a consistent placemat helps signal to their little one that it's time to eat, which can be a useful part of establishing mealtime routines. For a deeper look at what to look for before you buy, our guide on choosing the right silicone placemat for your high chair covers all the key considerations.
The IKEA Highchair Silicone Placemat Range
Zoe Sage stocks the IKEA Highchair Silicone Placemat in five beautiful colours, so you can match your kitchen aesthetic or simply pick your little one's favourite. Here's a quick look at what's available:
- IKEA Highchair Silicone Placemat , Green: A fresh, earthy tone that pairs well with natural timber high chairs and modern kitchens alike.
- IKEA Highchair Silicone Placemat , Grey: A versatile, neutral option that hides stains beautifully and suits any colour scheme.
- IKEA Highchair Silicone Placemat , Pink: Soft and sweet, this shade is a perennial favourite for little ones at the table.
- IKEA Highchair Silicone Placemat , Beige: Warm and understated, the beige placemat feels right at home in a Scandi-inspired kitchen.
- IKEA Highchair Silicone Placemat , Yellow: Bright and cheerful, this one adds a pop of colour to mealtime without being overwhelming.
All five options are food-safe, easy to clean and designed to fit standard high chair trays. Whether you want to keep it neutral or go bold, there's a shade that suits your home.
Silicone Bento Lunch Boxes: Practical, Portable and Toddler-Approved
Once your baby moves into the toddler years and starts exploring a wider variety of foods, a good lunch box becomes a daily essential. The Silicone Bento Lunch Box 4 Compartments , Dusty Pink is a standout choice for parents who want something practical, pretty and safe for little hands.
Compartmentalised lunch boxes are genuinely useful because they keep different foods separate, which matters a lot for toddlers who can be particular about foods touching each other. They also make it easy to offer a balanced variety in one container: think fruit in one section, a protein in another, some veggie sticks and a little treat. No juggling multiple containers, no extra washing up.
The dusty pink colourway is soft and modern, and the silicone construction means it's flexible, durable and free from harsh plastics. It's a brilliant option for daycare, park outings or simply making lunch at home feel a little more fun.
Zoe Sage also carries the Silicone Bento Lunch Box 4 Compartments and Silicone Bento Lunch Box 5 Compartments for families who want different sizing or compartment options, as well as the Silicone Baby Feeding Set 11pc Bundle for a more complete mealtime setup. You can explore the full range of our baby and toddler feeding essentials online.
Introducing a Cup Alongside Mealtimes
Mealtime is also a natural time to start introducing a cup, especially as your baby begins solids and moves toward weaning from the bottle. If you're navigating that transition, our article on helping your baby move from a bottle to a cup has some really practical advice on timing, technique and what to expect along the way. Pairing a new cup with familiar mealtime routines can help make the shift feel more natural for your little one.
Free Shipping Across Australia: What You Need to Know
One of the things Australian parents consistently tell us matters most when shopping online is reliable, affordable delivery. Zoe Sage offers free shipping across Australia when your order reaches the minimum spend threshold (see the Free Shipping Min Amount! details on the website), so stocking up on a few mealtime essentials at once is a great way to get the most out of your order.
Orders are dispatched promptly and delivered Australia-wide, including regional and rural areas. No need to make a trip to a specialist baby store or wait weeks for an international delivery. Everything arrives conveniently at your door.
Bundle and Save
If you're setting up for a new baby or shopping for a gift, Zoe Sage has several bundle options that make it easy to get more for your money. The New Mum Essentials Bundle and Power Duo Mum Bundle are popular choices for new parents, and the Grab & Go Mum Ready Duo Bundle is a great pick for families always on the move. For something a little more personal, the Gift Voucher lets parents choose exactly what they need, and you can add Gift Wrapping to any order for a polished, ready-to-give finish.
Beyond mealtime, the Zoe Sage range covers so much of what Australian families reach for every day. The Linen Bandana Dribble Bib is a lovely companion to any placemat purchase (bibs and placemats together make a great gift set), and the Organic Muslin Baby Wash Cloths, Soft & Gentle for Newborns are endlessly useful at the table and beyond.
Safe Mealtime Practices: A Quick Note for Parents
While products like placemats and bento boxes make mealtime more organised and enjoyable, it's also worth keeping safe feeding practices front of mind, especially during the introduction of solids. The Raising Children Network guide on starting solids is an excellent, evidence-based resource for Australian parents navigating this stage. It covers when to start, what foods to introduce first, and how to watch for signs of readiness.
Choking safety is also important to understand before you begin. The Product Safety Australia page on choking hazards for young children is a helpful reference, particularly around food textures and appropriate portion sizes for different ages.
