Edu-Tiles Playmat

During the past 2 years since my son was born we have wasted WAY too much money on foam mats...we've purchased about 6-7 mats from 4 different brands. Of the ones we've purchased this is definitely the best yet. It's easily the thickest - GREAT padding. Almost all the mats we bought were described as being 0.5" thick - this is the only one that actually is, if not more. I love it. I think I might get their alphabet one since if it's as thick as this the pieces wont start falling out (they'll only come out when my son takes them out). There's no issues with the mat falling apart just because we're walking on it. On the down side - it's definitely on the pricier side of the ones we've bought while also being the smallest one. If you're looking for a mat for a true play area this will not be big enough - you will need at least 2. They also sell a large alphabet mat that would probably be pretty good for a decent sized play area. I know the listing makes the size clear, but I was still a bit surprised at just how small this is. The other mats we got were: Two Norsk Mats - 6 2x2 tiles each; available on amazon in 4pks: Norsk-Stor 240147 Solid Color Recyclamat Multi-Purpose Foam Flooring, Multi-Color, 4-Piece Best value when bought from certain stores or the Norsk website. (sold on Amazon in 4-pks - we bought ours at Kmart a while ago in 6pks for $24/each - the best value yet) These are OK. They aren't as thick as this mat - but the best ones for their price, and thicker than other mats we've bought. They're 15.99 right now on the Norsk website for a 4pk. Stay together well & serve their purpose. If you have a larger area & a smaller budget - you should be good to go with these. Be wary of their reversible (or any really) mats though - I haven't tried them but with hardwoods I think these would slide around more than the regular ones already do. The Norsk "Sports" mat --good mat...not too great for any sort of car play - but will provide padding & protection We bought this the other day - we went back to Kmart to get more of the ones we have & were sad to see they didn't have them any more, this was the only mat they had so we got it...well it's textured. It has little bumps to it (all the mats are textured - but this one has a design to it - raised nubs basically). Well my son loves hot wheels...and this just does not work with that...it's like non-stop speed bumps and quickly roll over. So he doesn't like ti too much (we're moving it into our garage now instead). But ultimately it is pretty thick & will do the job if you need them to. We Sell Mats 2x2 6pk: We Sell Mats Anti-Fatigue 6 Piece Interlocking EVA Foam Flooring Set --OK. Not terrible - but thin & overpriced for what it is. We just got this. I think it's OK. It's very thin, so not much protection (but it doesn't claim to be .5" so I kinda expected that). I like the colors of it...but to be honest, it was overpriced for what it was. Tadpoles Mats: Tadpoles 36 Sq Ft ABC Floor Mat, Green/Brown and Tadpoles 16 Sq Ft Playmat Set, Taupe/Brown --The worst mats we bought - WAY too thin, very little padding & pieces will come apart (the tiles more so than the removable pieces) These are great if you're just buying it for decor. If you actually intend to walk on it at any point it's a compelte waste - or if your kid will be taking it apart a good bit. The pieces are so thin they don't stay together - so even if my son isn't in the room this thing is falling apart within minutes of me putting it all back together. If you're only going to be using this briefly - this should be fine - but if you intend to use this for more than a month or so - don't bother. I've already thrown away both of these - they were gone by the time my son was 8mths old. So again - this is the best one we've bought yet....

These are the best quality mats you can find. They hold up through all of the baby stages - tummy time, changing pad, play space, safe area when learning how to sit unsupported, crawl and walk. But my older kids also play with them to build [insert imaginative things], which is why I keep coming back for more, because there are never enough to go around. They play with these more than they play with their actual toys. These mats are easy to clean, rainbow colored, hold their shape and have a nice aesthetic edging. They may be higher priced than other mats you can find on Amazon, but you get what you pay for. I tried other brands in an attempt to save money, but they went right back and I came right back to order more of these.

These tiles are wonderful! I bought them when we first started physical therapy for my daughter. Her ability to sit independently is limited and she often falls over. We wanted something to help cushion the falls and would allow her toys (ones that roll) to be used as well. I researched several other brands and these were the thickest ones I could find. They are GREAT! The stay together very well, are soft enough that even adults are comfortable sitting on the floor, and have provided peace of mind for those unexpected tumbles. I highly recommend this companies floor tiles! I know they are a bit pricier than other versions, but are well worth the extra expense. I was given some of the thinner ones and they are not comfortable and don't provide enough cushioning.

I love this mat. We have twins and pretty much carpeted their room with this mat. It has served us well and the babies love it. However, the mat itself is so tiny that we've had to buy many many of them (I think I might have bought about 12 packages...and I live in a new york city apartment so our space is QUITE small. And this was just for one room and part of a second room). I love the modular nature of it and the bright colors so I keep on buying more. I started out buying mats with the cut outs but those were just too much work- the kids already pull off the sides. Can't imagine what they would do if there were more pieces to pull off! I just wish that it took up a bigger space...i keep seeing cheaper alternatives and wonder if perhaps I'm spending too much. However, I feel like it's easier to just go with what I know and like!

These said they were great for birth and up but the package clearly says 3+. The corner pieces are small and could be a choking hazard. Add the chemical smell onto it and it wasn't worth keeping. We returned for something bigger, made in North America, not smelling and BPA and phalate free. Debated keeping for occasional use, but decided we would rather have the money back,

Although it's a pretty small batch of tiles, I was able to order 4 sets total to complete my goal. These tiles seem to be of good quality and durability. Setting them up was simple and all the tiles fit snugly together. The colors are bright and fun and the texture of the mat insures it won't be to slippery. I was a bit worried about chemical smell that I had experienced with other mats but these were odor free. I'd highly recommend these to anyone that has kids!

These are an amazing price and well worth the money...I bought two! We just moved into a ground floor apartment and it feels like there's no carpet padding at all...just concrete! I put these out on the living room floor where my 7.5 month old son is learning to roll and crawl...thanks to these I feel he's much safer! The mat pieces are easy to assemble and easy to clean, plus if you're creative you can use them for more than a flat mat.....I used 6 of the squares to create a large "L" shape that I use to cover the ceramic tile and glass in front of our electric fireplace....works great, I just move it out the way when the heat is on and put it back when my son is playing near it.

Excellent for small children & babies indoors & outdoors

They are thicker than most puzzle floor pieces which is nice, but means you can't connect them with any others unless they are the same. I don't like how easily the numbers come out.

Set of tiles is WAY too small for a LO past 3 months old (rolling over). Our LO loved the colours but would roll off it (then scoot off it a month later) within minutes. We used it for 2 weeks and now it sits in storage. Maybe we'll purchase a second or third set to extend the floor space, but on it's own the set is pretty useless. BUT! It's definitely pretty. Good for tummy time in the newborn months.

大きさ、色合いは問題なく想像通りでした。赤ちゃんが遊ぶので、シンプルなものよりはかわいらしい方が良いかと思い、カラフルなこちらにしましたが、思ったよりもインテリアを壊さず、赤ちゃんを上に寝かせるとさらにかわいらしいです。 ただ気になる点が三つほど、、、。 一つは臭いがけっこうきついと感じた事。この手の商品を購入したのが初めてなので、他社のものもこのような臭いがするのかもしれませんが、組み立ててから数日は臭いが気になって使いませんでした。3日後に多少薄れてきた気もしますが、やはりまだ気になります。 それから、届いてすぐに組み立てたところ、９つのマットのうち２つに黒い汚れと傷がありました。汚れはふいてもとれず、新品のはずなのに、、と残念でした。 最後に、使用する前に硬くしぼったふきんで表面をふいたところ、ふきんに色がついた事。とくに赤いマットが色落ちしやすいようです。商品の説明書にも「色落ちする事があります」と書いてありましたが、赤ちゃんにとっては問題ない塗料なのかどうかがわかりません。 以上より、現在は使用するときマットの上にタオルなどおいて、赤ちゃんに直接触れないようにしています。 見た目は可愛いんですけど、、、。
