The search for a playmat was lengthy. We had a lot of criteria that we cared about: padded, without chemicals and non-toxic, foldable, right size, neutral color…

Another benefit to this mat is the versatility of it. I have been able to use it for my floor workouts when I do crunches, sit ups etc. Finding a mat that was waterproof was also essential.

Once Leo began crawling we knew we needed a solution for baby proofing that would contain him while he explored the world around him. We also didn’t want it to be an eyesore. When you have worked hard on the design of your home, you don’t suddenly want it taken over with bright colors.

We love that this playpen is neutral with the grey and off white color. [Note: they do have a multi-color available if that is your thing.] The ability to purchase extra walls (set of 4 sold separately) is a bonus so if we ever need to expand it in the future we could.
