It's as much about you as it is for the baby! You spend so much time on the ground with your baby / toddler, you both want to be comfortable. Best things about this mat 1) Super comfy due to the padding and this padding comes in handy when your baby is learning to sit and falls back and hits their head 2) actually looks nice but you can roll it up easily to store away 3) the size is perfect as soon as your baby starts to move, they outgrow the small round sizes 4) so simple to clean, you just wipe any vomit, food off and it doesn't stain 5) after your baby is a toddler, just put it in the play room as a rug or make it a book reading corner.
