I’m very sorry to hear that you’re disappointed with your products.
Regards all suction bowls - we recommend you make sure the suction pad is clean and dry before using, and all suction plates / bowls will only work on non-textured surfaces. If you're trying to use a suction bowl on a grainy plastic, or wood for example - any suction won't work unfortunately.
I can see you also purchased our end -of-line bibs. All the bibs in the clearance range are in our baby soft fabric. We do run prints in a thicker, wipe clean fabric, but these are not in our outlet catalogue.
We are passionate that weaning is a full sensory experience, and for a lot of babies, the feel of fabric against their skin, or the way a bib moves, can influence how comfortable and settled they feel at the table. This is why the majority of our bib collection is in our baby soft fabric.

I'm so pleased to hear you've enjoyed using our Sack & Doodle bags with your little one, but as you've found - food should not be placed on the coated side of the water mat - only on the waterproof, food safe side on the back. We do state this is our product info.
Many thanks for your order and for supporting our small business. We genuinely hate to leave any customer unhappy, so if there is anything you feel we can do to rectify the problems you're having - please contact us on hello@tidytot.com and we'd be happy to help.
