We had the typical Lovevery play mat on our registry but the baby kind of grows out of that by 6 months, especially if you have a rug and wood floors. This mat is stylish, comfy and we wish we had gotten it sooner. A must have for your registry! In at least the mega size, if not epic. We bought the mega size because they have a playpen for this size but hopefully one day they’ll come out with an epic playmat! Also, it’s REALLY hard to find a nontoxic playmat that has a 100% organic cotton cover. Remember, your kids are going to be face down on this a lot! Just like your mattress for them. Hands down best purchase! Wish we could afford to have one for every room in the house.
