Premium Padded Baby Play Mat

Description

Tile floors are cold and unforgiving

Most South African homes have hard floors, and most babies spend their first year on them. A properly thick foam mat fixes that in one purchase — warmer, softer, and far kinder to the knees during the crawling months and the heads during the learning-to-stand ones.

What’s in the box

• Thick padded foam play mat
• Wipe-clean surface
• Available in White and Brown

Why parents buy it

Tummy time gets refused on a cold hard floor and accepted on a warm soft one. The cushioning matters most at exactly the stage babies fall over most. And it wipes clean, which after the first spilled bottle you will appreciate.

The neutral tones are deliberate — it lives in your living room, not a nursery, so it should not look like a primary-coloured jigsaw.

Ages

From birth for supervised tummy time, through the crawling and early walking stages.

Safety

Always supervise tummy time. Lay the mat flat on a level surface. Keep away from stairs and open fireplaces. Check periodically for tears and replace if the foam is damaged.

Looking after it

Wipe with a damp cloth and mild soap. Dry fully before rolling or folding.
