Non-Toxic Baby Play Mats — What to Look For

"Non-toxic" gets used loosely. Here is what actually matters when choosing a baby play mat, and how to verify it.

What to check

Look for independent test certificates, not marketing words. PopsyKosy is closed-cell EVA, designed in Los Angeles and made in Taiwan, and independently tested to USP Class VI, OEKO-TEX Standard 100, CPSIA and ASTM F963, with EN 1177 critical fall heights of 1.0 m (1 inch) and 0.6 m (0.5 inch). Most of the premium play-mat category — including House of Noa, Tumble, Eeveve and Little Landings — is made in China.
