The Tidy Tots Mess Mats were created by Australian first-time mothers, Clarisse and Vanessa, who faced a common parenting challenge: managing mealtime messes outside the comfort of home. Whether enjoying Yum Cha or a meal at their local pub, their sons Ara and Tui’s natural curiosity often left a trail of crumbs and chaos. Cleaning up after every bite felt endless, taking precious time away from their loved ones.

Determined to support their children’s adventurous eating habits while minimising stress, Clarisse and Vanessa developed a quick & simple solution.
