IKEA Highchair Silicone Placemats

Yes, this silicone placemat is specifically designed to fit the IKEA Antilop high chair tray. It is custom moulded to sit securely on the tray surface, helping reduce sliding during meals.

Unlike generic flat silicone mats, this high chair placemat follows the tray’s shape to provide better coverage and a more stable fit. This makes it ideal for baby-led weaning, self-feeding and messy toddler meals.

It is also compatible with other popular high chairs including Kmart Prandium, Big W Uno and Target Snacka. Always check tray shape before purchase to ensure compatibility.

The raised edge design supports mess control by catching small spills that would otherwise run onto the floor. It also makes wiping up yoghurt, mashed vegetables and sauces quicker and easier.

Because the placemat is removable, you can clean it separately rather than scrubbing the entire high chair tray after every meal. This helps simplify daily feeding routines, especially during baby-led weaning stages.
