Why you'll love Catchy

Contains the mess

Catches food dropped or thrown by bub so no more ruined carpets and stained floorboards. Catchy keeps the mess contained so that you can get on with your pre-bedtime routine, and come back to clean-up later!

Easier to clean

Catchy is waterproof, durable and doesn’t stain. Designed to be installed just once, it is always ready for the next meal. No need for a broom, mop & getting on your hands & knees, simply wipe it clean with a damp cloth (just like you clean the highchair tray).

Re-offer dropped food

Catchy is made from non-toxic, BPA-free, PVC-free and food-safe material, so you can save dropped food (that would otherwise get wasted on the floor) and re-offer it to your baby or save it for later!

Backed by experts

Catchy's co-founder Dr Rachel is a clinical psychologist, PhD, specialising in eating disorders. She knows how important it is for our bubs to explore their food and make a mess when eating. Catchy allows you to raise happy and healthy eaters without stressing about the mess.

- Sustainable: Made from recyclable material, Catchy is designed to be re-used and is not a single-use item.

- Doubles as a footrest: Catchy doubles as a footrest for toddlers to provide that foot support that is so important for focused eating.

- Protects dogs: Catchy doesn't mean less treats for our fur babies, it just means the right treats. There are many common baby foods that can be harmful to dogs (such as grapes, raisins & avocado). Catchy allows families to control & monitor what their fur babies are eating, to avoid upset tummies and unwanted weight gain.

- Perfect for sensory play: Catchy doesn’t just catch food – it’s the perfect companion for any sensory play or messy activities!

Suitable Age

From starting solids all the way up until they are out of a high chair. Catchy is designed to be used for the full duration that your little human is in a high chair.

For those in the Stokke Tripp Trapp, Catchy is designed to sit directly on top of the footrest and can be adjusted together as your child grows.

For those in other highchairs without foot support, Catchy doubles as a footrest for children whose feet comfortably reach Catchy. For smaller children whose feet don’t yet reach catchy, experts recommend using an additional footrest to provide foot support when eating

Saves my back & my floor

I have to admit that when I first put the Catchy on our highchair, I was worried that the bigger footprint would annoy me - we don't have a ton of space. But after just a couple of feeding sessions, I realized it's well worth it! We just started solids a few weeks ago, and the Catchy is worth every penny and every extra bit of space it takes up. Our floor stays clean, and when baby drops things, we're able to just leave them and hand her something new so we don't get caught in a loop of drop and retrieve. Clean up is minimal. Great purchase and if you're on the fence, I say BUY IT.

Awesome purchase

As first time Mum & Dad, we have been really impressed with catchys ability to do just that! We only had a week or so without the catchy & that was enough to appreciate catchy when we got it!

Saves time on cleaning

We love our catchy. It saves tons of time on clean up!

It really works! Not just a fad item

Love the catchy, saves me so much time cleaning and saves my beautiful rug from becoming covered in food. Highly recommend!

Amazing!

The catchy is easy to install, use and clean. Anything that is dropped, accidentally or otherwise, can be caught and offered to my baby again.
It is also fantastic for preventing a less than perfectly trained dog from taking advantage of any dropped food. Highly recommend!
I use it on an Ikea Antilop highchair.

I’ll admit, I was skeptical…

I got targeted with all the ads for Catchy during my maternity leave and found it hard to believe something like this would really make a difference in our baby’s journey into solid food. I was wrong! We’ve been using ours for a few months now (baby just turned one year) and it has saved our hardwood floors and our dog’s waistline. She can rarely throw food far enough outside the Catchy, so I’m able to put it back on her plate. I much prefer cleaning the Catchy, where the mess is contained, rather than the whole floor area around her high chair. We have an IKEA antilop for reference.

You need this !

Our little man recently started eating solids and wow no one can prepare you for the fun, the mess and the wasted food from being thrown onto the floor. The Jack Russell thought it was fantastic, however her sudden weight gain shocked us all! Something had to change!
After seeing the adds on social media, I was sceptical to say the least, however when it arrived it was obvious this item was extremely good quality and very well thought out. It fitted perfectly around our Stokke Trip Trap high chair and straightaway it was a game changer!

Not only does it save food when it is loving tossed over the highchair, but my back isn’t breaking cleaning the floor anymore. It also extends the space you have to store things needed for a smooth meal time, like a cleaning cloth, bowl for food babies is finished with and spare cutlery if needed. The only complaint which has been heard loud and clear since the installation of the Catchy is the four legged fatty is devastated, as she now literally stands under her major food source and gets nothing!
Do yourself a favour and buy one!
Regards
Beth, Matt, Bobby and Coco ( the four legged fatty)

Great accessory, worth every $

I wish they had this catchy for ikea chairs back when I had my first three kids, this is a life saver, my fourth baby likes to eat on his own and most of the food end up on the floor or chair but since I have used the catchy I don’t have that hassle of cleaning the floor anymore. Catchy caches all pieces tho! Thank you!

Worth it!

Oh, man this thing is a life saver. We’ll still have to remove the rug from our dining room eventually but so far the Catchy has been an absolute godsend. Is it a little pricey for what it is? Yeah, but it’s worth it.

Must have baby product!

Wow! This is a game changer! I started weaning my little boy and spent every meal time picking food up off the floor and scrubbing it clean.
I came across Catchy on an instagram story and instantly purchased it. It’s been by far one of the best baby purchases I’ve made. I love how easy it is so clean, it doesn’t stain and it’s saved my back! Everyone comments on it and what a clever idea it is. Definitely recommend it!
