Can Silicone Accessory Tethers Prevent Lost Toys?

Quick answer

Yes, silicone accessory tethers can help prevent lost toys by securing them to a high chair or tabletop, keeping items within reach during mealtime.

Diagnosis: Is a silicone tether right for your situation?

• Symptom: Your child repeatedly drops or throws utensils, cups, or toys during meals, and you spend time retrieving or replacing them.
• Likely cause: The child lacks the motor control or attention to keep items on the tray, or the items simply fall through gaps.
• Corrective action: Attach the suction cup end of a silicone tether to a clean, smooth surface (high chair tray or table). Loop the other end around the toy or utensil handle. For multiple items, use the extender tether to connect additional toys. Check that the suction cup holds firmly before leaving the child unattended.
• When to stop or choose another option: If the child can easily pull the suction cup off, or if the toy has no loop or handle for the tether, consider using a different securing method or supervising more closely.
