Baby gym play mats

Mine lived on hers. She was not a cuddly baby and infinitely preferred being on her mat to wriggle and kick.

They can spend a lot of time but you can use a blanket, towel etc without needing to pay £100 for one.

I baulked at the cost but it’s been really worth it, my girl is on hers a LOT

check vinted first, they may spend alot of time on it but definitely not worth £100

i have hard flooring covered with the thinnest carpet (renting) so i bought a rug from dunelm for his play space - the playmat sits on-top of that

I bought a cheap fisher price play mat and attached extra toys to it and things like ribbons which my baby loves. I think it was about 25. We have hard floors as well and bought a foam playmat to put under it as most of them are still quite thin and when they start rolling around can hurt their head. That was from Smyth's toys and is quite big so really good for when she now shuffles about and eventually crawls etc.

Smyths do a padded playgym too I’m sure it’s only around £30 rather than £100! But we just have a normal thin one we were gifted and have laminate flooring so we put a yoga mat (we already had this we just cut it in half so we could make a square) underneath it and then when we move into a house and he has his own rooms we’re going to buy a foam playmat for him to be on

We bought a cheap one for around £30. The lo spends more and more time on it as she gradually starts engaging with the world and toys more. So glad we have it, but not sure you need to invest £100.

Mine spent a fair bit of time on the floor but I wouldn’t spend £100 on a play gym. We had a folding wipe clean mat that we put underneath our baby gym for cushioning that then got used for snack time, picnics, nappy free time, time in the garden etc as they became more mobile and uninterested in the play gym

I got the mamas and papas playmat bundle they price matched to 123£ which it was being sold for elsewhere online, it includes playmat, interactive seat and tummy time roll x
