The company\'s intentions are admirable, but I agree with you--these things are not bound to work for any kid with a shred of curiosity.<br>See <a href="http://www.quickservekids.com/2007/01/the_pursuit_of_cleanliness.html" rel="nofollow">http://www.quickservekids.com/2007/01/the_pursu...</a><br><br>We never tried the disposable placemats with Baby A (now three and way too cool for such things, if you ask her). I can guarantee she\'d have loosened it and thrown the whole deal on the ceiling in seconds.<br><br>We did buy one of those rubbery ones with the suction cups all around and the crumb-catcher tray that hangs off of the side of the table. The result? See above. It lasted about twelve seconds. It was like a direct invitation: Hey! Kid! Mess with me!<br><br>Soooo, back came the Purell and the wipes.
