I hate cleaning underneath my daughter’s booster seat, but the things that can get stuck under there can be quite unappetizing a few days after sitting there.
The other day I decided to tuck Emily’s plastic placemat under her seat instead of on the table and can’t believe I had not thought to do that sooner. Now after we enjoy our meal, I just pick the seat up and slide out the mat for a quick rinse instead of trying to clean under the seat, creating a sea of crumbs under our table.
It doesn’t help the nasty on the top of the seat, but sure makes the nasty underneath a little bit easier.

I clean up the baby and my husband cleans up dinner. Each of us thinks we are getting the better end of the bargain, so it works!

Great idea Amy! Hubby cleans the high chairs (the twins are usually pretty easy on him), the table and our chairs. He also vaccums the dining area and sweeps the kitchen.
I rinse dishes, load the dw, clean the counter, sinks, stove and put leftovers away.
Thankfully it all works out.
I am so thankful for my dear hubby. He is what works for me (the help) that is!

That’s a great idea–although it comes too late for me since my nearly 2 year old refuses to sit in the booster anymore!

This is brilliant! Under our Emily’s chair is a scary place too! Thanks for thinking of this!

Thanks for the super idea for the baby chair. We have the same one, and I hate the design because it is such a pain to clean. You have just made me hate it a little less. Thank you!!

We have that same seat and it can go in the dishwasher!
Just thought you might like to know.
