What they say:

“The Tidy Tot Bib-and-Tray kit is the ultimate weaning essential to give you mealtimes without the mess! Designed by a mum of 3, the tray sits securely on your highchair or dining table whilst the full covering baby bib attaches to the front of the tray to completely eliminate the gap between baby and highchair. No more food in baby's lap, the highchair seat or your floor - genius! Tidy Tot is portable and easy to clean, food contact approved and also perfect for messy play - what's not to love?”

Tested by mum Emma Freelove for the M&B Awards 2017:

Would you recommend the Tidy Tot Bib & Tray Kit to other mums?

I would definitely recommend this to a fellow mum, it's been the best piece of baby equipment I've ever used. It's such a brilliant idea it's so easy to use to be able just to pop the tray over my highchair and pop on the bib - it's genius! It saves so much cleaning after lunch and dinner I couldn't think of a better product for weaning.

It's so easy to use and so so easy to clean with waterproof materials and easy clean design, it’s such a good product. No food is pushed down the side of him and staining his clothes and I love that! I also love the fact it encourages self feeding with the big tray and the fact he can use his arms well even with the sleeves from the bib he doesn’t seem fazed by them.

What changes would you make to this product?

The one and only thing I would change about this product is I wish it had a few more different patterns maybe blues and pinks, greens and yellows with different patterns on maybe different coloured trays.

Tested by mum Deborah Kenyon for the M&B Awards 2017:

Would you recommend this to other mums?

I would absolutely recommend the Tidy Tot Bib & Tray Kit to other mums, in fact I already have! The design is excellent, it feels and looks well made and sturdy, I imagine this will have years of use. It folds easily for transporting to friend, relative, meals out, holidays. The bib is comfortable, easily cleaned with a quick rinse or in the washing machine. Mine has yet to stain despite my baby’s best efforts - very impressive.

How did this product make your life easier?

There are so many ways in which the Tidy Tot Bib & Tray Kit makes life easier. As the bib attaches to the tray there is more more fishing food out from the hidden recesses of my highchair or trying to remove smooshed food from clothing. My baby is mostly baby led weaning and I think this product is a must for anyone taking this route. My little one can explore and play with his food without it dropping to the floor constantly, saving on the after meal clear up is a revelation.

Would you choose this product to win?

It's such a simple yet genius idea. I already wouldn't be without it. It's ease of use, ease of cleaning, ease of transportation and the fact that is fit almost all highchairs makes it perfect. It’s also great for keeping toys on the table, messy play. We are off on holiday soon and I'm so glad we found this product before going - it's going to make life much easier eating out and not having to worry about cleanliness of highchairs.

What changes would you make to this product?

This product is pretty much perfect, however I really appreciated the extra bib that was included with my package. It allowed me to use the tray set all day when one bib I was too messy for a quick rinse and needed washed in the machine. Perhaps the option to buy the set with one or two bibs included would be useful.

Tested by mum Victoria Banbury for the M&B Awards 2017:

Would you recommend this to other mums?

I absolutely adore the Tidy Tot Bib & Tray Kit and have already recommended it to my mummy friends. It is so simple and easy to use and is very useful. The tray quickly pops up when taken out of the packet and is easy to fold down again. The bib is comfortable and colourful. It uses Velcro to fasten to the tray so is quick to get baby ready for food.

How did this product make your life easier?

The Tidy Tot Bib & Tray Kit has made my life easier and has saved me money! It keeps all the food on the tray or in the bib, not on the floor, crooks of the highchair or all over baby! Therefore, it has reduced my laundry, vacuuming and wiping. I can spend more time with my son and less time clearing up. I expect my electricity bills will be reduced too due to not having to wash as many clothes or vacuum up food. This product is ideal for baby led weaning or babies who like to get messy with their food.

Would you choose this product to win?

It has been so helpful whilst weaning my son and is excellent quality for the price. It is fantastic not only to use at home but can be used on any highchair or table so can be used out and about. As the bibs are suitable for children 6 months - 2 years, it will get plenty of use. I shall be using this not only for feeding but also messy play and painting.

What changes would you make to this product?

I cannot think of a single thing to improve this product. I have found that the bibs wash well so I'm hoping will last a long time. The tray is hardwearing and has been used on my son's highchair and my parent's dining table. It is great value for money so believe that it is fairly priced. It is easy to use, fold away and store. Brilliant product!

Tested by mum Hannah Henwoos for the M&B Awards 2017:

Would you recommend this to other mums?

Yes this is a must-have product for any mum doing baby-led weaning. I wish I had it with my other two.

How did this product make your life easier?

This product has saved me so much time with cleaning up after feeding time. As I have done baby led weaning my son makes so much mess with food going everywhere and this has reduced the mess I don't know how I coped without it. Also so easy to carry around and use on highchairs out and about so I love that.

What changes would you make to this product?

I wouldn't change anything at all about this product, it's the best thing ever.

Tested by mum Louise Townsend for the M&B Awards 2017:

Would you recommend the Tidy Tot Bib & Tray Kit to other mums?

I would definitely recommend this to any mum because it is brilliant! We all know that babies learning to eat solids are incredibly messy! I have spent lots of time cleaning my highchair and baby after meal times as I'm sure lots of mums do and this takes it away! It also stops as much mess on the floor! Mums should all get one of these!

How did this product make your life easier?

This makes life much easier! It takes away a lot of cleaning time and effort, rather than spending time cleaning the highchair and straps which can be a pain, and cleaning my baby, bib and clothes, you only have to wipe the tray and bib which takes no time at all! This truly makes meal times much easier!

Would you choose this product to win?

I haven't seen anything like this before so I was thrilled to find this! I think that the design is fabulous, I love how the bib fastens to the tray so nothing at all can slip through to mess your baby's clothes or highchair, this is really well thought of and designed.

What changes would you make to this product?

The only thing that I would change would be the tray, I would have liked the tray to have a bit of a pattern/design on it rather than just a plain colour. I think this would engage my little boys attention a little bit and make it even better if it had pictures or a design on there, pictures of food would be quirky!
