Toys and Games Reviews of Learning Carpets Giant Road Carpet
Customer Review: Great road carpet choice! My kids love it!
Summary: 5 Stars
"Santa" brought this for my two sons (7 & 4) for Christmas. Santa chose this because unlike some of the other options, the mat is actually carpet (not plastic). I like that it is narrow because they can both reach across to either side, and it rolls up to a very convenient, storable size. It is easy for them to roll up and put away, it is very well made, and it has great roads, parking spaces, stores, pond, airport, and on and on. You won't be disappointed with this. My kids are pretty rough with their toys, and I can see that this is going to last a long time. Its durability would probably work well in a daycare or doctor's office too.
I did take note of another reviewer's fear that it came with a picture on the outside, so I was on the lookout for it so my kids wouldn't see. However, it appears Amazon may have taken care of this issue, as it came in a regular Amazon box (no photo). Maybe the other reviewer got it shipped directly from another source.
Customer Review: Fun play rug
Summary: 4 Stars
We bought this rug for our 17-month old daughter, who is the recipient of many of the toys we wish *we* had. Right now, she's more enamored of having her own play space than she is interested in the neighborhood aspect. But, the rug is quite fun, with houses, a duck pond, zoo, park, school, etc.--all in slightly "off" perspective. The lanes on the streets are the perfect size for matchbox-sized cars, for when your little one is older, but toddler-sized cars work just as well. All in all, I'm very happy with this purchase. It seems a durable, colorful rug. It's long, providing lots of play space. Its no-slip backing should provide safety on tile or wood floors (though we have it on the carpeted floor of our living room). The best aspect? Our daughter keeps her blocks and cars on the rug--instead of everywhere else underfoot.
Customer Review: Very Creative
Summary: 5 Stars
I look for toys that inspire creative play and exploration of the world. I want toys that have more than a button to push. I also want toys that are fairly quiet and easy to play with for little kids.
This rug fits all of these requirements. The colors are bright. The rug is very sturdy. My one complaint is that it does not roll up into a very small cylinder thus making it take up some space when it's 'put up'. The small matchbox cars fit perfectly on this rug. However, even the toddler cars that are bigger work fine on the roads. IT is big enough that two kids can play with it at the same time without running into each other too often. IT is longer than it is wide. Young arms can reach across the whole rug while pushing a car.
Excellent choice.
Well worth the money.
Enjoy.
Customer Review: Not for use on carpets, better on hard floor surface
Summary: 3 Stars
This is a beautiful road rug, but I have carpet throughout my house and in my childs room. The rug seems to move everytime we play or step on it. Since the rug was in my childs room and next to his bed, the rug would crawl next to the bed and it would be curled up and lumpy and squished next to his race car bed, which has no underspace. The bed touches the floor, so, the carpet has no place to go but be crumpled up next to the bed. Pitty. So, I'm constantly straightening up the rug to play with it. It's hard when he's standing on the rug. hahaha. But instead, I took the rug to Nana's house and she has a much lower carpet... not the shaggy type of carpet we have, and they play with it in the livingroom. The rug is light enough to roll up and put away, so, not much of a problem there.Customer Review: Great design- kind of flimsy
Summary: 3 Stars
I really like the size of this rug - Its big enough for plenty of fun and like all the things included on the rug. I would give it 5 stars if it were based on looks alone - but the three stars come from the fact it is very thin and is rather flimsy. We put it on the carpet in our living room and any foot traffic on it (or a child scooting across it with his/her cars) and it bunches up badly. I'm thinking this would be a quick fix with some sort of extra grippers underneath but haven't had time yet to figure out what to use. Based on the size and actual design on the rug for the price I think it was a good buy.
