I love the design of this mat - it's kid-friendly while still being stylish and appealing to adults. We've gotten lots of compliments on it. It gives my 4 month old a nice soft surface to play on, and drool, spit up, and other child-related goos wipe off easily. My 3 year old also loves playing "town" and driving toy cars around on the mat. Even our dog likes to curl up on it! We're very happy with the purchase.
