What to look for in a Baby Crawling Floor Mat?

As a parent I like to think that I know a little about crawling mats.

Here are some factors I would look for specifically in a crawling floor mat.

Material used

I’m very picky about the material I use because there are so many harmful materials available now. The material should be non toxic and safe.

Price

having a baby is expensive I do not really want to spend a ton of money on baby products.

having said that I do not want to go really cheap either.

You will notice that the very cheap baby products are made of questionable material or are very very flimsy.

Ease off Cleaning

The mats should be easy to clean. Food, drool, milk nothing should sink in or be absorbed into the mat.

Preferably look for something which is waterproof and easy to clean.

Easy to Store

this is something which is really important because especially if your house is small then you need to be able to store it away quickly.

is usually not advisable to leave it around for longer time.

once you are done with tummy time or nap time or crawling time just put the mat away.

If the mat is easy to store it helps keep it out of the way and hygienic.

Adaptability

how adaptable is the mat. Can you use it for older kids.

Does the crawling mat work as a play mat later on.

Keep such thoughts and mind while looking for the perfect crawling mat for your baby.
