Toddleroo by North States - Superyard Folding ABC Animal Friends Baby Play Mat: Foldable Play Mat for Floors - Extra Large Playmat for Tummy Time - Indoor & Outdoor Use - 71 x 71 Inch

I did all the research for you - hours upon hours of looking at reviews, pictures, and even bought and returned one. This one checked off almost every box. CHEMICALS: I can't speak to how or what it actually was made from, but based on the information provided, it seemed in line with the others that self-identified as "NON-TOXIC" THICKNESS: it's thick enough to create cushion on our hardwood floors. Our little one is an independent sitter, but occasionally flails and bonks her head STORAGE: easily folds and could be stored on it's own or it also comes with a travel/storage bag VISUALS: we got the alphabet animal print and it's cute, but also fun to teach our girl the alphabet and different animals that start with each letter TEXTURE: for babes learning to roll/crawl/sit, the texture offers ok grip (it's not sticky like a yoga mat, but that works for us because it makes it easy for our daughter to rotate on her belly). The texture also proved to be super entertaining for our daughter to scratch at and feel DURABILITY: we've only had it for 2 months, but it's held up great so far. No peeling edges or anything that I saw with others after a short while. This had the best reviews from folks. Our 80lb dog has stepped on it a few times and no huge punctures. COST: this wasn't the cheapest we could find, but given the boxes it checked it was WAY cheaper than a lot of the comparable ones. We paid $60 and others were upwards of $100-200 😵‍💫.

I've had this mat for just over 3 months now so I'm ready to give a review. I love it! My toddler loves it and to my great surprise so do my 6 and 8 year old. My toddler still has tumbles and falls so I needed something to cushion the fall and just plain hang out on during playtime. She's very comfy and happy on it. The size works great for my living space and the fact that it folds up and can be tucked away is easy and perfect. My older two love this thing even more, they'll set it up themselves (and tuck away) with no issue. Its put up with water and apple juice spills and wipes clean just fine. The older kids are really harsh on it but I've yet to see any tears, still looks as new. I'll update in a few months as to its longevity. UPDATE: It's now been over 4.5 years. We still have the mat, and it still looks great!

I used this for a little over a year, and then had to get rid of it because of mold on the underside which is the foam padding. I won't take a star off because it was user error, BUT I wish it was a completely sealed playmat so it was 100 percent waterproof. Writing a review so others don't make the same mistake. This mat was always out when my son was just a few months old until a little over a year. It eventually became his playpen floor when he began crawling. I love how comfortable this is and I would lay on it all the time with him. This was on top of laminate flooring, so occasionally one of his cups might leak, and I always wiped it up, but I must have missed some water or milk at one point. When I went to pick it up one day, there was trapped moisture and some mold specks on the mat. Maybe it wouldn't have happened if I picked it up and moved it more than every 2-3 weeks. So, keep an eye out for moisture or water getting trapped under it. But in every other aspect, this is the best playmat.

The mat is thicker than I expected it to be and is padded well. As a mom of 2 under 2, I feel like it keeps the kids safe from falling on the hard flooring as they learn to walk and its also more comfortable for me to sit on and play with them. Folds up easily so it can be taken on the go. We've used it in the playroom for 4 or 5 months now and it does not peel crack or fade even after having so many kids use it. Very easy to clean. Very good value.

This is perfectly sized for their 8 panel play-yard but i only have the 6 panel. Too big for that - my cats understand that inside the yard is the babies but since it sticks out some they shredded the dang overhang. It becomes a hazard at that point obviously - despite this being quite expensive it is very nice and I might repurchase when I get 2 more panels for the play yard to keep the cats off the mat entirely. Very easy to clean too!

I've purchased 4 Mats fue my baby. This has been the best for the price. Thick, carrying case and easy to fold. Can't speak to longevity but I can see that it's you try to fold it up the wrong way once or twice it wont be good. But the other cheaper one (lesser quality just as thick) and same price (better quality but thinner) have a similar issue. I would barely dampen a cloth to clean and dry right away. Update: I've had this for about a month. Just want to reconfirm the title. Best for price. Definitely better quality that the other foldable options. My other Matt has visible peeling and this one has none... And from the texture of it, it seems it won't. Wish I had bought this one first. The only other option which is just as good but gives more shape options are the tile type ones I bought (but they were more expensive). This is the Best. And fits most large playpens

I bought this for my son who is learning to crawl because my husband and I were worried that he would hit his head too hard on our carpet. The mat is the big enough for children to explore as well as adults to sit on. It is easy to clean up messes. Our dog has pro you holes in it, but the mat still holds up well. The mat takes just a few seconds to fold up so we take it on the go if we think he needs it. This product is definitely worth the buy!

Mat is easy to clean and of good size. The pattern is colorful but neutral and doesn’t overwhelm the room. It has withstood a rambunctious 1 and 2 yr old and has broken a few falls, the mat is soft enough to lessen the incidents. We had a flood and it ruined our 1st mat, I quickly reordered a new one as it is a necessity in our living room on hardwood floors.
