BRIGHT STARTS™ BASICS PROP MAT

It serves the purpose

Really great mat for newborns! I wasn’t sure what to get for my 6 week old boy to help with tummy time and didn’t want to go for an expensive play gym just yet. This mat is the first thing we play on in the morning, we have bare bum time on it and go out in the garden with it! It’s so easy to clean, has great patterns that grab his attention, including black and white stripes which are his fave! The toys and support cushion are great too. The fact that the cushion doesn’t attach is a good thing because when he’s on his tummy - he manoeuvres the cushion to whichever angle he is most comfortable with.

The main reason I decided to buy this one was for tummy time support cushion. . Very happy with it and great price. It's a good size for travel

I was really excited about this mat for my newborn but it’s been underwhelming. The cushion would have been great if it didn’t slip so easily. When she starts moving her neck, she ends up slipping all over the mat age coming off the cushion altogether. My nursing pillow is a better tummy time aid really. Having a simple way to stick the cushion on to the mat would be so helpful.On the plus side, my toddler loves the two toys that comes with it. Actually, both children love the little monkey!

I believe i have washed it which is great and held up really well. Baby is 8 weeks in the photo practising tummy time- this is the reason we bought the mat- very please does the job and there are rattles at the top on either side of the head to encoueage baby to move.

The colours are very bright and this was the first mat I bought my little girl when she was a few weeks old. She is 4 months now and she still absolutely loves the monkey. Not sure if it is the colour or what, but we have to take it with us everywhere as she really likes it. The whole set is really nice and suitable for babies from an early age. Wasn't too expensive as well.
