Product Benefits
Saves your food
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 baby or save it for later!
Saves your floors
Catches food dropped or thrown by bub, so no more ruined carpets and stained floorboards!
Saves your sanity (and back!)
No more getting on your hands and knees cleaning the floors or stressing every time your child throws their food. Sit back, relax and enjoy stress-free mealtimes with your bub!
Easy to clean
Catchy is waterproof & much easier to clean than the floors! No need to vacuum or mop, or remove Catchy between meals, simply wipe it clean in place with a damp cloth (just like you clean the highchair tray).
Helps encourage healthy eating habits
Catchy's founder Dr Rachel is a clinical psychologist, PhD, specialising in eating disorders. She, along with other experts who recommend Catchy, know 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

The Catchy scorecard.
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!

They say, we answer.
They say
Splat mats are cheaper.
Sure. But a splat mat just moves the mess. Catchy actually catches it.
They say
How is this easier than mopping?
No bending. No brooms. No wasted dinner.
They say
Just get a dog.
Tempting. But half the food they fling is bad news for fur babies.
YOU, EVENTUALLY
Catchy is a game-changer.
Now you’re getting it.

How much space does Catchy take up?
Catchy has been designed to catch the optimum amount of food, whilst comfortably fitting around the contour of the highchair legs so that it doesn't take up much more space than your highchair would, and can therefore fit in small spaces.
It is approximately 78cm (30.7”) x 65cm (25.6”)
We have a demonstration video showing how your Catchy will seamlessly fit into your home
Is Catchy reusable?
YES! Catchy is designed to be reused meal after meal for many years (typically our customers use Catchy with their child from around 5 months of age until around 2.5-3 years of age). It’s not a single-use item! It’s recyclable if you want to discard it after you’re finished with it - but we recommend keeping it for your next little one, or gifting it to a friend :)
Is Catchy strong? What is made of?
Catchy is durable, waterproof and easy to clean with just a damp cloth. Catchy is made from non-toxic, BPA-free, PVC-free and food safe Polypropylene material so you can re-offer bub dropped food or save it for later.
Can I re-use food caught by my Catchy?

Dudamos si comprar un Catchy porque nos parecía algo caro por una bandeja de plástico, pero vale cada céntimo de su precio. Más aún si tienes perro.
Es súper fácil de poner y me ahorra horas de trabajo de limpiar el suelo y dejamos de desperdiciar comida, porque puedo volver a ponerla en su plato.
Mi perro no está tan contento 😂 pero es lo mejor para todos. Que no todos los alimentos que mi hija quiere darle son seguros para él.

Wir nutzen seit Kurzem den brandneuen Cybex Iris Hochstuhl für den Beikoststart (BLW). Wir lieben den Stuhl, aber das selbstständige Essen flog anfangs natürlich überallhin! Da es für den Cybex Iris noch keine offizielle Auffangschale gibt, habe ich mich an den wunderbaren Kundenservice von Catchy gewendet.
Das Team war unglaublich hilfsbereit und wir durften die Catchy-Schale, die eigentlich für den STOKKE Tripp Trapp gedacht ist, an unserem Cybex Iris testen. Sie passt überraschend gut! An den Halterungen gibt es hier und da einen minimalen Spalt von 2–3 mm. Da sich die Beine des Iris nach unten hin weiten, könnte es eng werden, wenn man die Schale später weiter nach unten schiebt – aber auf der aktuellen Höhe unter dem Sitz funktioniert es einfach hervorragend!
Es hat kein einziges Stückchen Essen mehr unseren Esszimmerboden berührt 🥹 Das Material ist absolut lebensmittelecht, der Kundenservice ist legendär und unsere Nerven sind gerettet. Wenn Sie einen Cybex Iris besitzen und verzweifelt nach einer sauberen Lösung suchen - holt euch einfach das Tripp-Trapp-Modell, es wirkt Wunder!
Vielen, vielen Dank an das gesamte Catchy-Team! ❤️

So useful ❤️

I’m shocked how much this product has helped us with mealtimes. I was unsure if it would make much of a difference but it helps keep my kitchen so much cleaner. It saves me bending right down to scrub the floor multiple times a day & it has also made me a lot more relaxed which allows my daughter more opportunity to experience her food fully. Not to mention my favourite part, not stepping in bits of food! Thank you for such a fantastic invention!
Y
Hat sich definitiv gelohnt eine Sammelbestellung aufzugeben und fängt fleißig alles mögliche an Krümeln und Essen auf. Wir haben nämlich weder Haustiere, noch einen Staubsauger Roboter 😁

The product does exactly what it says it does. Easy installation, quick to clean up and, most importantly, one of the best customer service I had the chance to experience. A product made with care.
M
Love it!
Saves me from bowing to the floor to pick up the foodcrumbs. Esay to clean, just swipe with wet cloth and its clean again.
Arrived quickly and was easy to install.
A
It’s a life saver, don’t need to hunt for the food scraps anymore also not to mention that it is so stylish
M
Went from spending 20 mn cleaning after every meal to 5 mn with Catchy. Got me to enjoy meal time with the little one and explore and be messy without feeling anxious about the aftermath.

I have 5 kids and honestly the worst part of them learning to eat has been the mess. 😆 I’m so sad I didn’t hear about the catchy until my twins were born! My husband and I both mention at least once a day how amazing they are. So easy to clean up, catches all the thrown food and plates and just makes life easier. Specially with two making messes this time. Highly recommend!
S
It’s honestly amazing! It's cute, it fits well, and—most importantly—it actually WORKS!
My 14-month-old is a pretty crappy eater, but I can’t bring myself to stop spending so much time in the kitchen trying to craft something he’ll enjoy. So it’s heartbreaking when what I’ve spent so much time and effort on ends up on the floor and then in the bin. The Catchy means that—unless he’s practising his long throw—I can usually salvage whatever he decides should slip over the lip of the highchair tray and serve it to him again at the next meal. At which point he often decides he finally likes it!

Struggled so hard with cleaning up for my first and for the first few months of BLW with my second... Now cleaning up is a breeze :)
V
I love it, it really does catch all the things!
S
The catchy is an absolutely game changer!! We love it so much! It’s made our foodie enjoy meal times without the mess!
O
Easy to assemble, practical, wipeable, saves food going to waste, our Catchy is great! We have it fitted to our Ikea high chair and I would definitely recommend the combination. My brother with three kids exclaimed ‘why didn’t I know about this?’ when he saw it.
S
I absolutely love my catchy! It fits 100% on our Hauck Beta+ highchair. And there are a lot more options for different highchair models. It's easy to install and easy to clean.
K
Love the Catchy so much! It’s so much easier to clean than the floor. It’s one of those products you don’t know you need but would wonder how you managed without it. I can’t recommend enough.
J
I’m so happy I decided to buy the food cather! My daughter can get to know the food and throw it as much as she wants and I’m not stressing about cleaning the Whole apartment only the catcher (And her 😅)!
M
Catchy is the perfect match for blw times. You’ll love that simple tray as much as your baby.
T
So so happy with our catchy. Thank you so much 💖
M
It's been a couple of days and so far we are beyond impressed with how useful Catchy is to us new parents. We recently introduced solids to our 6-month-old. Having the Catchy attached to our high chair lessens the time we spend cleaning afterwards. Bonus that it will also catch his beloved toys! Hands down! Brilliant idea 💗
M
This is our second catchy purchase (one for each kid) and we couldn’t live without it. It makes clean up time that much easier!
