Balance From Kid's Exercise Play Mat

We have been using this play mat for two weeks now and my baby loves it. It was very easy to assemble and I really like the variety of colors. I particularly like the end borders, which not only make it look nicer, but also protect the jagged edges of each piece from getting bent. The mat has just the right degree of softness, not too soft so that you sink into it, but not too hard either. It is actually very pleasant to walk on. The size is perfect. Right now we are using 25 tiles out of the 36 it comes with. When the baby is more mobile, we will use the remaining tiles. My baby loves rolling around on it and the baby's knees, elbows and head do not get irritated, scratched or sore. In addition, the mat is very easy to clean. We usually first sweep it with a swiffer and then spray it with a light disinfectant every day. When it comes to durability, I guess it depends on what you throw at it. I am sure that sharp items such as pencils would easily make a hole. I have noticed that items such as the napper or my laptop leave indentations on the mat. These indentations disappear after quite a few hours. Therefore I think that this mat is perfect for babies of up to 2 years maximum, but not for older babies, which are bound to be stronger and more resourceful when they play on the surface. Since my baby is way younger than 2 years, I am sure we will get a lot of mileage out of this mat before we need to move to something more durable. All in all, highly recommended for babies less than 2 years old.
