Thick quality mat
Reviewed on 16 September 2018
I've had the bubba mat for a couple of weeks now. I'm so pleased with it. We first discovered them 8 years ago at a baby fair. I ordered one on ebay, only to realise it was a knock off of the original product once it arrived. I have had a few other branded kids mats over the years, too. I thought they were pretty good. But now that I finally have the bubba mat, I'm so cross I didn't just get one in the beginning. It's heavier than it's competitors, and denser. The material sticks to the floor and doesn't move as easily, even on carpet. That was definitely an issue with the competitors. Our last mat would move constantly as the children played on it. I'd be pushing it back against the wall and reconfiguring the toys, constantly. We decided on the urban playmat. It's the one with a town map on one side and a grey neutral print on the other. I knew my two year old would love the cars side, but I am not one for displaying colourful kiddy pictures. So we use the mat with the grey side, then flip it up when he asks to play with his cars. The only thing I'd say was odd, is that the pattern on the town road side is repeated several times. So the same buildings appear. It spoils the fun and I would have preferred a large single print.
