Baby Play Mats

Find a Stylish, Ultra-Soft Baby Play Mat at Miss Amara

If you’ve just welcomed a little one (congratulations, by the way!) and they’re now old enough to frolic around on all fours, then you may be in the market for a baby play mat. The thing is, shopping for children’s play mats is different from looking for rugs for your living room or home office – there are a ton of other factors to consider.

Luckily, you can think of us at Miss Amara as your key to a world of comfortable play for your new baby. With our activity baby mats, playtime will be softer than ever!

What to think about

Safety

First things first: when looking for a baby crawl mat, you need to consider safety. Choose non-slip padded baby mats that are low-pile and don’t have material that easily sheds or is easily pulled off.

Infants tend to explore their surroundings by touching and tasting, and you don’t want a high pile mat to pose a choking hazard when fibres are ingested. Babies may catch their hands, feet, and other body parts in these fibres, increasing the risk of accidents.

Plus, a high-pile mat may trap more dirt, dust, and allergens than a low-pile baby play mat. This can be less hygienic for babies who spend a significant amount of time playing on the floor.

Comfort 

Babies who are just learning to crawl or walk may find it challenging to move on a rug designed for older kids’ playrooms. The longer fibres can impede their movement and coordination.

Comfort is key in a baby play mat, as it’s often used for tummy time and early crawling stages. Look for padded play mats that can cushion your baby’s movements but are firm enough to support their development. 

Size and ease of cleaning

The size of the baby play mat you buy should accommodate your available space and grow with your child. Portability is also important for families on the go. Choose portable padded mats or travel play mats that are easy to roll and carry.

Lastly, babies are messy, so a mat that’s easy to clean – such as wipeable play mats – will save you time and effort in maintenance. Parenthood can be tough, and with the propensity for mess, you may feel like you can’t have nice things anymore. Well, we’re here to tell you that doesn’t have to be the case!

At Miss Amara, you can find a stylish, non-toxic baby mat that doesn’t just keep playtime safe for your bundle of joy – it looks awesome, too!

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

What age range are baby play mats suitable for?

Baby play mats are typically suitable for infants from birth up to the age when they start to become more mobile and explore their surroundings actively. A play mat’s specific age range can vary depending on its design and features.

During the early months, a baby play mat should provide a soft surface for infants to lie on their stomachs and develop neck and upper body strength. As babies start to crawl and explore on all fours, play mats with a cushioned surface for crawling help protect babies from bumps and falls.

How do I set up a baby play mat?

First, if your play mat comes rolled up, unroll it and let it lie flat for a while to allow any potential creases or folds to smooth out. Then, you want to find a safe area in your child’s room for the play mat. Place it away from sharp objects, electrical outlets, and other potential hazards.

Our Rollie Pollie mats already come with built-in underlays to help secure the mat in place. Now, all you have to do is jazz up the play mat area by placing soft toys or other age-appropriate objects within reach. As a result, playtime is more enjoyable and stimulates sensory development.

Are baby play mats easy to clean?

Ideally, baby play mats should be easy to clean since the occasional spill is inevitable! This is why our Rollie Pollie play mats, for example, are made from 100% stain-resistant polyester. This makes them a breeze to clean in case you run into these little accidents.

When cleaning your Miss Amara baby mat, use mild, baby-safe cleaning solutions. Avoid harsh chemicals that could harm your baby or damage the play mat. To prevent mould or mildew growth, let the play mat air dry thoroughly after cleaning.
