What to look for in play Mats & Gyms

Start with how your baby will use it. A baby gym with a play arch and hanging toys entertains newborns lying on their back, while a thick, padded mat gives a soft surface for tummy time. Some mats add music, sounds or lights, and others grow with your baby through several play modes. A foam puzzle mat with separate tiles can be laid out to fit your floor.

Then think about everyday practicalities. A machine-washable mat makes spills easy to deal with, and a reversible design can be used on either side. Decide whether you need a large mat or one that fits your playpen, look for a non-slip bottom on smooth floors and choose a foldable mat if you travel. Organic or natural materials suit parents who want to avoid synthetics, and some mats double as a toy storage bag.
