playMAT, Farm

We were looking for a large play mat for our 8 month old son to keep him off the rental carpet. This play mat is definitely large. My husband, my son, and I can easily play on it together. The thickness is about as thick as a foam place mat and it works great on the carpet. I think this would be a great product to have on hard surface flooring to provide a little padding when crawling around. If you are looking for something a little thicker, Prince Lionheart makes this same mat with thicker foam called the play mat plus. I didn't feel it was necessary to spend the extra money because by the time we move and hopefully no longer have carpet, my son will not longer be rolling around and trying to sit up. As far as other mats, I can't stand the ones that link together because I didn't want to deal with the mess after my son tore them apart. Also, I really am not a fan of the crazy colors. I know that sounds crazy because this mat is very colorful but I think the colors serve a purpose. The roads and farm encourages play and it is very cute. It folds up easily and can be put away quickly unlike the mats that link together. If you have pets that have claws that may get on this mat, I would advise you to look for a different product. The instructions even say not to use high heels, etc. on the mat. The only negative I can really say about the mat is it does move around on the carpet a little and I find that I'm having to move it a few times a day. Not a huge deal, but thought I'd mention it. If I had it on hard surface flooring, I would probably try a rug backing. One last thing - super easy to clean. It has had all sorts of baby mess on it and wipes clean.

I really really like this mat. I had previously purchased a thicker foam puzzle mat as I wanted as much padding as possible for my little one. However, with three pets, picking up the individual pieces each day became a real chore, so I love this one piece mat. It didn't smell too badly right out of the bag and it is so nice and big. The pictures on both sides are great and my little one looks at the characters a lot, and the colors don't seem to wear off (or at least they haven't yet). All in all this is a really great mat and it is standing up pretty well to our every day use. The only problem I have with the mat it tears or has sort of puckered in some spots, and for no real reason. We haven't really abused the mat at all but it still has a few little snags in it. I had read previous reviews that said the mat wasn't super durable and I am happy those reviews were there. In spite of the puckers/tears, I am happy with this mat and would buy it again.

I would recommend this seller and product. The mat arrived on time and in great condition. This mat is perfect for my grandson! I love that it has two design sides, the dino's for now and the car tracks for when he gets older. This mat is HUGE!! I compared mats for a while before I purchased this and it was well worth the work for the price and the quality of it. Enjoy watching hours of play with your little ones if you decide to get this!

We had to return this after 10 days when it started cracking and peeling. The only "traffic" on it were 7 month old babies (twins) and soft baby toys. Nothing that should cause it to start splitting and peeling, but it did. Too bad, it was a nice design...but they need to.greatly improve the quality and durability.

I love this mat. It is cushioned nicely & very big. Perfect for their playroom, which I was sick of steam cleaning the carpet in. It cleans up nicely. My only complaint is, it ripped kind of easy when they drug a small wooden chair across it. I would still buy it again though, just not put anything too heavy on it and slide it :)

This is perfect! Especially if you have hardwood floors and your little one is ready to crawl all over, its very AFFORADABLE compared to some at this saize that cost $100- and are even close to worth it and are also smaller than this one, This is theLARGEST one I have found thus far, so I can buy three or four of these, one for every room of my house and it protects my WOBBALY CRAWLING baby from bumbing his head too hard on the floor and protects him from falling over ect.. THANK YOIU FOR THIS PRODUCT AND NOT TRYING TO TAKE ADVANTAGE OF ALL OF US< OPROTECTIVE MOTHERS AND FATHERS OUT THERE!!

This mat is perfect for a bigger kid I believe. My daughter is 4 years old and she loves playing with it. We homeschool so the farm is a great way to teach her about farm life and farm animals. She has farm animal toys so it's so fun seeing her play with them on this mat. The city on the reverse is a great mat to teach her some words that are written on the buildings and street signs. The material with which it is made up from is fine with us as it is also another sensory material. Not soft but not to rough. It's one of those texture you would find in the Baby/ Toddler portion of children museums. It has a soft padding that makes it comfortable to sit on. I wouldn't mind using it for our future baby bec I believe in introducing different kinds of sensory materials and this mat is one of them. All in all it's a great buy.UPDATE aug 3, 2013: it got torn about 2 inches and my daughter wasn't even rough playing with it. Sigh... I had high hopes for this mat.UPDATE: AUG 4, 2013: I. cannot. believe. that. there. are. two. tears. again!!! I am furious! It turned out to be quite disappointing. It's a promising product but how it was made is very, very disappointing and infuriating! What is the use of having a city mat if the kid couldn't even run cars on it? My daughter doesn't play rough and is running her cars normally and with not so much force, it's tearing apart. Prince Lionheart should be ashamed!

received this product fast, love this product! my 9 month old daughter loves it, the images on the mat specially the animals he loved. its easy to fold and put away. i use it in the living room where my daughter can play with her toys and for her to crawl. it has a nice material thats non toxic, also what i love is that its reversible and filled with images. its also easy to clean i just wipe it with a cleaning wipes.
