Our little guy was upgraded to a big boy room. We did a Cars theme but didn’t want it to be in such an obvious way (I think the McQueen bed we picked out is enough!) I instantly fell in love with this rug. It’s fun and the colors are really cool. It’s soft but you will for sure need a rug pad. I took a gamble and even after reading reviews, I didn’t initially order one. As soon as we laid it down, I immediately had my husband go pick one up. Now it’s perfect!
