Toys and Games Reviews of Step2 24-Inch Playmats (1 set of 4 mats)
Customer Review: Thick playmat; (kinda) connects with other playmats
Summary: 4 Stars
SEE (2) PICTURES OF FIT TO "TRADITIONAL" PUZZLE-MAT PIECES IN PRODUCT PHOTO GALLERY.
The initial playspace I created for my daughter was not well thought out. I bought 2 of those bright-colored "puzzle" alphabet playmats. When I sat my 7 month old down, first thing she did was strive to pull up pieces and shove them into her mouth. After a few days of this, and realizing I was going to spend every minute supervising her appetite for the bright edging on the traditional puzzle mats, I went to amazon.com and found these.
I bought them because (1) they are 2x as thick as those puzzle mats you find at local stores, and (2) no pieces to pick up for the munching and (3) I like the ability to just wipe these down from spills or spitup. Indeed, first thing she did was explore, and not pull up any part of the mat (win!). When she fell over and bonked her head, she didn't cry out but just got back up (win!). I have a Little Tykes Playzone, and had to buy 2 sets of these to cover the space. To my pleasant surprise, the puzzle mat pieces kinda-sorta will interlock with these Step2 mat pieces, So I spelled out her name at the border to add a little "flair" to the zone. I posted pictures of this to the product photo gallery (my daughter's name is Gloria; there are 2 pictures posted)- it's a tight and not perfect fit, but it colors up the space, the puzzle pieces are far out of her reach but liven up the playspace immensely when added to the Step2 playmats.
I'm going to give these 4 stars because they're quite expensive, and difficult to set up b/c each square is so large.
The traditional puzzle-style playmats will run you a little above 1/2 the price of these playmats AND will give you more ground coverage. But I didn't find playmats this thick in stores, or any that were as babyproof as these. I don't like that the size of these mats makes setup difficult - if you have an odd playspace, you will need to buy more mats than you'll use, and set the extra aside. With traditional playmats, the squares are much smaller, making arrangement that much easier.
