We have 3 kids (12, 8 and 22 months) plus a dog and 3 cats.  This rug is in our living room and it's worked pretty good.  The cats have tried to sharpen their claws on it and unlike other purely indoor rugs we've had in the past, they haven't been able to pull out threads.  My biggest issue is trying to clean it.  I vacuum it reguarly and clean spills when they happen, but it's looking quite dirty.  I tried to use a steam cleaner on it but even with scrubbing it looks pretty drab.
