Playmat

Now that the little one is almost 2 months old, I have been deliberating if it is time to get a playmat.

Her kicks are so strong that she can easily shift her position from the bottom of the changing mat to the top of the changing mat.

Her neck is also less floppy these days.

Rather worried about the time where she starts to flip / crawl...

Started off looking at Parklon bumper playmat / LG Prime playmat / Dwinguler playmat and was pretty 'amazed' by the prices.

No doubt the quality is there but I just need some time to convince myself...

While surfing the net, I came across this classical looking playmat with just a few primary colours.

The screenshot below does not really do it justice!

Actual colours should be much more vibrant.

After considering the following factors, I decided to go ahead with the purchase!

1) Playmat is made in Korea

2) Much thicker (4 cm) than Parklon bumper playmat / LG Prime playmat / Dwinguler playmat (maximum thickness of 1.5 cm)

3) Prefer a playmat that can be folded for keeping rather than having to roll it up

4) Love the simple design

5) Easy to clean as compare to other playmats with uneven surfaces/tiny grooves

6) Much cheaper (S$110+) compared to other playmats (S$200+)

7) Dimensions of 1400 mm by 2000 mm is just nice for the future play area in the baby room/living room

Looking forward to receiving the duplo 4 pcs folding mat and more tummy time ahead!

Updated: Pleased with the mat and it has served its purpose well. We have used it as a 'fence', mattress, playmat etc. Well cushioned but a tad hard for a full night sleep. Would recommend that you place an additional 'softer' topper on top of it.
