Mine get like this every time I serve a red sauce, but it actually fades away on it's own in a day or two. I just give them a good scrub with soap and hot water as usual and then it goes away as I repeat the washings after snacks and meals. Don't worry!
The Mr. Clean erasers help as well.

I don't let the Mr Clean erasers come into the house -- I have heard a lot of bad press about them being full of carcinogens. Maybe they have changed over time?
I find that some dishsoap mixed with water often gets the tomato stains out.
Baking soda with peroxide and make a paste - whitens almost everything

I do the same as sunnydays , it leaves after a few wash in very hot water and good dishsoap.

I also use the 'Magic Eraser' or if you can, depending on your highchair, I run it through the dishwasher about once a month for a extra clean.

Great idea on the dishwasher...to sanitize especially. Why didn't I think of that?!

Any of the clorox type sprays or just a bleach solution will clean and sanitize. But it does fade over time.

Soap and water, then sit it outside in the sun for a few hours, the sun will bleach it.

I don't have a dishwasher but every evening when I'm doing two sinks full of dishes from the entire day I give the booster trays a good scrubbing too. I don't have any stains on mine and agree that even if you have a bit of stain it will be gone after a few good scrubbing. I would never use anything except dishsoap on the surfaces where the children eat though.
