When can babies start using these play mats?

​

Baby play mats are classified based on their characteristics and the activity the provide. Babies will ideally get the full benefit from a foam play mat once you start introducing tummy time (i.e. between 0-3 Months). The function of a play mat grows wider as the baby starts crawling (i.e. between 6-10 Months) as it provides adequate safety and comfort to the curious crawler in developing certain skills like hand-eye coordination. Purpose of the play mat will further amplify when the baby starts walking as it would provide a safe and padded surface for those limitless fumbles. What exactly is tummy time ? Tummy time is when your baby is flat on their tummy on a supported surface. Tummy time is ALWAYS supervised. Why is it so important ? Well, for starters, there are a couple of main reasons. One reason is babies are getting less time on their tummies due to baby carriers such as prams, buggies and pushchairs. Foam play mats exposes the baby to a different environment which further stimulates sense of touch for the baby while providing a safe space. Secondly, it also prevents the back of your baby's head from developing flat spots (positional plagiocephaly). The American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP) recommends tummy time for infants because of the benefits of improved motor development and reduced likelihood of plagiocephaly. Tummy time helps with muscle development, as it strengthens the baby’s shoulder and neck muscles. It also helps build those early muscles that are needed when the baby starts to roll, or when they’re starting to sit up, crawl and walk. This also encourages motor skill development which will enable your child to perform certain movements.

As the baby starts to crawl, a play mat will prove out to be one of your most important purchases. Foam Play Mats also aide in satisfying the kids' mental needs of surpassing, excelling & exploring as it provides a safe surface to play on as spending time on the floor to explore the world and surroundings around them is essential for various stages of growth. Foam play mats provides great shock absorbency which will cushion the baby’s countless falls and tumbles during those tender crawling or walking days. Many foam materials of yoga mats, gym mats or baby floor mats are made from PVC (Polyvinyl Chloride), Polyurethane (PUR and PU) or EVA (Ethylene-Vinyl Acetate). PVC (Polyvinyl Chloride), contains chemical additives such as phthalates, led, cadmium and organotin which turn out to be very dangerous for your child’s health. Apart from the health complications, there are a number of negative environmental impacts from the production and use of PVC as well. Polyurethane (PUR and PU), derived from petrochemicals and flame-retardant is a plastic material which contains PBDEs, isocyanates, or diisocyanates. Exposure to such substances or chemicals can trigger respiratory and skin damage which can be detrimental to child development. EVA (Ethylene-Vinyl Acetate) is generally considered to be a safe material for use in baby mats and toys. Addition of formamide, which gives the soft, squishy texture to the material by some manufacturers causes a safety risk. While there is some potential for formamide exposure, these risks are negligible and likely aren’t a concern.
