Busy Baby: Silicon Mat Pitches Lori Greiner, Kevin O’Leary on Shark Tank
On Season 12 of
Busy Baby: a solution to keeping babies busy and entertained at the dinner table.
Busy Baby is a food-grade silicon mat that sticks to any surface and comes with two tethers to hold baby toys and pacifiers so they don’t fall on the floor and are always in reach.
The mat (which is available in six different colors and retails for $29.99) is safe to eat food off of and is dishwasher safe. It’s also easy to roll up and travel with, and can be used at the grocery store to drape over dirty shopping cart handles, which babies love to teethe on.
Beth Fynbo is the creator of Busy Baby. She came up with the idea after having lunch with friends and Fynbo found there was not an item like this for parents with babies.
