Play Mat Australia - FAQs

What are the benefits of using baby playmats?

Baby playmats provide a soft area for your baby to explore and allow them to practise their motor skills. They also provide cushioning against hard floors and help keep dust, dirt, and mess away from other surfaces. Baby playmats also give babies sensory stimulation with bright colours, patterns, and textures. 

Moreover, baby playmats can be used for tummy time activities and to keep toddlers entertained with puzzles and games. Baby floor mats also provide a safe area for your child to explore without worrying about rolling off of furniture or getting too close to dangerous objects. Finally, baby mats can even help babies learn faster as playing on baby floor mats can help improve their visual and motor skills.

What should I look for when choosing a play mat in Australia?

When considering baby floor mats or soft mats, you should look for ones that are made from high-quality materials such as a non-toxic foam play mat or a padded floor mat made of fabric. You'll also want to make sure the size of the non-toxic play mat is suitable for your child and the space you have available. 

Additionally, consider purchasing a kids mat that has multiple uses such as being able to be used as a flat surface, some large playroom mats can even be folded into a tent shape. Finally, when choosing a kids mat, opt for a brightly coloured design with stimulating features to keep your baby engaged and entertained with imaginative play. 

How do I clean my baby playing mat?

You can clean your baby playing mat by vacuuming up any dust or crumbs and spot-cleaning with a damp cloth. For tougher stains, use a mixture of mild detergent and warm water. 

Make sure to avoid harsh detergents as they may damage the material. Never submerge your baby playing mat in water for cleaning, instead just use a lightly dampened cloth. 

Allow the baby playing mat to air dry before putting it away or using it again. Additionally, you can occasionally sanitise soft mats with household disinfectants that are safe for baby products such as Lysol Disinfectant Spray.

Are play mats safe for babies? 

Baby play mats are generally considered safe provided they are made from non-toxic materials and kept clean. It is important to follow the manufacturer's instructions when setting up and using your baby play mat in order to ensure safety. 

Additionally, it is a good idea to check for any defects or loose pieces before letting your baby explore the baby play mat. Make sure you also periodically inspect the padded play mat for any tears or as these can pose a choking hazard. 

Furthermore, always keep an eye on your baby when they are playing on the padded floor mat to make sure that they do not put small parts of it in their mouth. Finally, always make sure your baby is never left unsupervised on a play mat.

Are play mats easy to store?

Yes, most play mats in Australia are designed for easy storage and can be folded up into a compact size, even large playroom playmats. 

Additionally, most foam play mats come with their own storage bag, making them even more convenient to take on the go. However, you should always check the manufacturer's instructions as some playmats may require special care when storing. 

Finally, make sure to store your mat in a cool and dry place away from direct sunlight or other sources of heat. This will help keep it in good condition for longer periods of time.
