We have been using it with our 13 month old at the table. He enjoys sitting up to the table without his highchair tray. The mat does stick to our wood table. I just lay the mat down and smooth it with my hands until it sticks. It will stay in place for normal eating behavior, but it will not stick if your child is determined to to pull it off. I would classify this as "non-skid". My son usually leaves it in place until he is full and then tries to throw it when he is finished eating. I put his finger food straight onto the placemat, which works well because of the lip all around the edge.
It's easy to clean, and the color is neutral. Overall, I'm happy with the purchase.I researched a lot of mats before deciding on this one. I'm very pleased with it. It is easy to wipe clean with wet cloth or wash/rinse clean under the faucet. It secures dishware to prevent some skidding (not perfect here but way better than our glass table). What I love best is the lip that is along the perimeter which you don't find on most mats. If our toddler manages to spill (or in some cases, dump) his cup or something else with liquid, the lip prevents the liquid from escaping the placemat area. The mat having some weight and slight stickiness to it has yet to be peeled completely from the table and thrown by my toddler. He has only managed to lift up the edges. This is our one and only mat for him.

We bought this because the table top tray for the Stokke highchair is too expensive. This is even better (I think this is also better than the silicone mat with the food trough and cow decor)!!!! It is smaller, so less obtrusive. The sides are high enough to catch liquids, but easy for my daughter to reach food over (BLW). She has discovered that if she pulls the food to the edge, she can suck it right off the mat. The mat sticks to our old metal table like glue-stays flat and looks nice. The entire mat is flexible silicone, so can roll, but thick (here is where the cow one would have it beat). Dishwasher safe (top).Read Best Reviews of Green Sprouts Silicone Placemat, Green Here
love this little place mat for our two year old. just perfect for our needs. at first i wanted something to suction to our wood table for stability, but when nothing i bought would stick, i tried this and i am very happy. no slipping and helpful at mealtime.My son likes to throw everything off of the table when he's done eating and this sticks to the table without messing up the finish. I don't put it in the dishwasher because it hand washes very easily and rolls up for storage.
