Covering pulled on day one
September 6, 2018
This is a huge playmat and it's generously padded. I could sit on this with my son all day and no pain! The print is adorable and keeps my 7 month old son interested. I love that it's reversible. However, the playmat is covered with tiny little squares within squares, which I'm sure is to keep it from being too slippery. However, on day 1 of use, literally less than an hour since I set it on the floor, one of the squares near the edge pulled up and now the foam inside is exposed. Some of the tiny squares have also come up in the last few days since we've owned this and we weren't walking on it with shoes, anything sharp, etc. I'd exchange but I'm pretty sure this will happen again with another mat. I'd still recommend to others overall, but I feel like for the price, it's not proving it's durability. The design of the covering is flawed.
Pros
- Huge mat
- Double sided
- Cute prints
- Very padded
- Rolls up when not in use
Best Uses
- For rooms without carpet
- For babies learning to crawl/fall risk :)
Cons
- Material is little embedded squares, which makes it hard to clean (things get caught in between them)
- If you have pets, be prepared for this mat to get a little beat up. They seem to be attracted to it and want to chew and scratch on it.
- Some parts ripped (from day one) so I'm not sure about its durability.
