Should you buy a big play mat with large action surfaces or a small playmat with suspended gym features? Both are great but if you have a child that has passed the crawling stage and can sit by itself, then you want a bigger area that your toddler can play on. Bigger baby, bigger mat.
Big playmats have multiple benefits compared to a normal rug, one of the most important being hygiene since the playmat material is smooth and easy to clean. Another reason is surface, where most rugs have abrasive surfaces that can cause rashes and discomfort to your baby.
Baby Care Pingko Playmat
A good example of a big baby play mat is the Baby Care Pingko Friends which has a smooth and waterproof surface while being soft and thick to ensure a soft landing when your toddler tumbles around. The somewhat spongy material also acts as a very good shield against cold floors and gives your toddler good traction when moving.
Big baby play mats of this type are almost always double sided with two colorful designs. Lightweight and pliable, storing a baby care mat like this one is done is a moment since you simply roll it up at put it away.
Although made from non-toxic materials, they are waterproof and we recommend you let the mat air for at least a day before use to get rid of the synthetic manufacturing odor that accompanies all spongy materials.
