Around the world, flooring in homes varies. The flooring options are endless, but your flooring will likely include at least one of the following:
carpet
floorboards
vinyl
linoleum
laminate
cork
concrete
tiles (porcelain, natural stone or ceramic).
Toddlekind play mats are suitable for all flooring types, including those with underfloor heating. They sit best on low pile carpet, rather than high-pile. If your floor is slippery, a rug pad underneath the play mat will help stop slippage.
When it comes to tumbles, carpet is undoubtedly the safest option because it is softer than other flooring types. However, it can be one of the least practical to keep clean, especially in high-traffic areas.
Crawling, rolling, sitting, playing … all of these activities take up a normal part of a child’s day and they do them on the floor. When you’re not looking, they probably lick the floor, and they definitely put their hands (which touch the floor constantly) in their mouth.
Something people don’t often think about when shopping for a play mat is that play mats offer great insulation. Toddlekind’s play mats are warm, cushioned, and provide insulation from cold floors, echoes and noise. They help maintain a comfortable temperature regardless of the season.
You don’t want to put your child on a dirty floor … enter the play mat.
