 Reduce the boo-boo's ... Sep 02, 2003
By Pam Tee
"mom,wife,fur-mom,book-blogger"
New wood floors and two little babes... Yikes! What to do?
We bought 2 sets of these blue mats originally (sort of pricey, we thought) and ended up buying 2 more sets because we feel they are definitely worth it. Our kids (3 and 1 years old) can roughhouse and learn to somersault without getting tearful.
Rugs are an option we have used in other parts of the house, but they do not seem to provide as much cushion, and they do not clean up as easily when they are spilled on. So far, a wet washcloth has worked fine on any food residue.
One final note: Trucks roll gracefully and lego's and such have no problem standing up on the mats.

Cat scratch, but easy to clean Jun 06, 2004
By Ellis Godard
Our cat scratched one of the squares in our setup the first day they were laid out, and hasn't bothered them since.The mats are great. They're very comfy, absorb falls and hits and crashing toys. They're easy to clean - just carry out whichever squares get spilled on or spit-up on or otherwise mucked up, and hose them off or rinse in the tub. There are no fibers to suck in dust and hair and cat dander, like a carpet would, and you don't have to clean the whole thing at once. BUT you're going to want edge pieces. This set doesnt come with them. A competing product has edge pieces included but that are easily removed and chewed on; it's distinguishable because it's less expensive but with smaller squares (20" instead of 24") and a cheaper foam that may be less resistant to tear. This set, although you have to buy the edge pieces separately, the edges are beveled, so that your kid won't trip on them and so that it's harder for him or her to pull them up and chew on them.

Buy at Sams or Walmart for 25.00 for 8!!! Selling asking way to much for 6!!! Apr 19, 2006
By The Walkers
"My employers are 1, 3, and 4 years old!"
These playmats are fantastic. They have cushion and yet are sturdy and durable. My son chews these mats like candy and yet they have kept their shape. They are great for little new crawlers that need alittle padding and resistance for their little knees. [...]
Just a warning to new parents thinking of playmats. We have three sets (large family) and these are our favorite by far. All the other sets we have have shapes and numbers in them that come out. It is a huge pain when our son plays w/ these mats because you end up on your knee's trying to find the missing pieces all the time. Save your back, money, and time and just buy whole pieces without all the fancy decor (letters,numbers,animals, elct.) that comes out, they just end up missing or on the other side of the room out of the mat for you to pick up and figure out where it goes in the mat. Also the pieces get old and when you move the mat around all the pieces fall out everywhere, everytime you move it you have to put the whole puzzle back together.
Glad to see reviews about sellers price forced them to lower their outrageous demands!!!

 These mat's smell - strong odor Feb 25, 2008
By Kristen B
"Kristen"
The mat's have a strong odor and leave behind an oily/slippery substance on my hardwood floors and my feet. I scrubbed them down with a sponge and Dawn dish soap, but it did not help.
The overall quality is great, but I do not feel comfortable allowing my daughter to roll around on something that emits such a strong odor and oil. Per Step2, they are not 100% EVA foam, they also contain a rubber compound.

A great idea... May 06, 2004
By Suz
We bought one pack of these to put under our 2-year-old's slide in the (concrete) back yard. They're super durable and stay connected easily - they've been outside through heat and rain for a few months and don't show any signs of wear except where the cat attacked them (and even that's not bad). They're so great I ordered two more packs to cover a bigger area (he fell off last week and managed to miss the mat and hit the concrete...). Our friends have covered their whole playroom floor with these things. Perfect for active toddlers...as if there're any other kind... :)
