The mat is generally suitable for children but requires extra caution. It is not recommended for newborns and infants to use heat or magnetic therapy. Children can use the mat cautiously, but only with a doctor's approval and under the supervision of an adult. They should use the mat on low heat or negative ion mode only unless they have been advised to do otherwise by a health professional. Children's core body temperature rises faster than adults due to a higher metabolic rate per body mass, limited circulatory adaptation, and less effective sweating. It is recommended to consult with the child's pediatrician before using the FIR mat. Additionally, it is important to exercise common sense while using the mat. Do not use heating modes on mats with babies or children who cannot express themselves well. Children or toddlers should not be left unsupervised on the mat as they may cause damage to the inner sensors while walking, playing, or jumping. Although it places a lot of responsibility on the supervising adult, there have been many reports about FIR rays calming hyperactive children before sleep time and helping them re-energize and improve their behavior.
