When choosing what to get for your little one, it’s essential they fill the parent-approved requirements: does it keep them safe? Does it keep them entertained? How do I keep it clean? And, most importantly – which is the best pick? Well, the wait is over: today in the ring are play mats and baby gyms, battling it out for the number 1 spot of the best essential for your baby.
Introducing Our Contestants…
On one side, we have play mats – soft and essential for hitting developmental milestones, play mats act as a cushioned surface for your baby to crawl, play and ignite imagination. Coming in a range of designs, these are essential for tummy time. On the other side, we have baby gyms: similar soft surfaces with the aim of providing entertainment for your little one, for example with toys and sounds. From bright to neutral colours, these are great to keep your baby occupied.
Safety First!
Taking it from the top: what’s safest to use? Our play mats are made of a high-density, thick XPE foam, offering a soft and durable surface. Not only will they protect from slips and tumbles, but they’re also made to be non-toxic, BPA-free and odourless! In comparison, our baby gym offers a soft, plush bear pillow and is padded, to also ensure a comfy tummy time session. Being BPA and Phthalate-free as well, play gyms and baby mats are striking even this round.
Incredible Fun Incoming…
Round 2 and the competition remains fierce – which product offers the most entertainment? Whilst our play mats offer a range of exciting styles such as unicorn and car designs, our baby gym takes the cake on this one: with 5 detachable hanging toys and a snuggly bear pillow as a companion, your baby is sure to be kept occupied and happy. One point to our baby gym.
Next Up, Cleanliness:
There’s no doubt in our mind that this round goes to our play mats. Being water-resistant, our baby activity mats are simple to clean: just give it a wipe with a damp cloth, and all messes will be gone – no stains in sight!
Our Verdict?
How can we possibly choose? Seeming that both products draw even, they offer incredible experiences for your little one. The main difference to note is that you can get your play mat now, whereas our baby gyms will be back in stock soon… keep an eye out!
