When to Buy a Play Mat

Quick answer: The best time to buy a play mat is before baby starts tummy time and floor play — often in the late-pregnancy or newborn stage — so a safe surface is ready when they need it. A neutral PopsyKosy mat suits the nursery from day one and grows into the toddler years.

Have it ready early

A mat is useful from the first tummy-time sessions, so having it before baby is mobile means you're never caught out.

It grows with them

A neutral, well-sized mat carries from newborn floor time through crawling and into active toddler play, so buying once covers years.
