Criteria for choosing the best developmental rug
A bright playmat is an opportunity to create a small world around a child, full of amazing and useful things. If the mat is chosen correctly, it will become a wonderful assistant to the mother in the matter of entertaining and developing her crumbs.
Choosing the best developing rug, "Price Expert" drew attention to:
Sizes of rugs. There are both small square and round-shaped rugs, and large models up to one and a half meters in length;
Materialsof which the developing rugs are made. As a rule, these are natural fabrics or quick-drying synthetics;
Development opportunities: the presence of mirrors, bright toys, rattles, tweeters, rustles, teethers, texture elements.
Removable arc. They increase the developmental potential of the rug, as they can hang different toys. Important: the arcs must be stable, ideal - two arcs, securely connected in the place of their contact.
Bumpers - turn a game place into a safe mini playpen for the little ones. If necessary, the sides are expanded, increasing the size of the rug.
Features 3 in 1. In this case, the rug can be used not only as a bright game panel for visual and tactile perception, but also as a musical toy, as well as an addition to a cot (the arches can be mounted on the bed rails with the help of fixings).
Manufacturers of good educational rugs
As a rule, developing mats are produced by manufacturers of children's toys and children's products (strollers, highchairs, bottles, etc.). European brands Fischer-Price, Bright starts, Infantino et al. offer unconditional quality, interesting visual and technical solutions, and also use world and own developments in the field of child development.

Great for fans to kick up their feet. High-quality, beautiful developing rug, but it was useful for a while. Now the child has grown up, we unscrewed the piano and play it separately, and the toys were moved to the crib. |
What is the best rug to buy for the development of the child?
So, the "Price Expert" has to admit that buy a quality mat cheap will not work - after all, it must correspond to the age of the baby, be bright and contrast, consist solely of high-quality materials, contain useful elements for the development of vision, hearing, fine motor skills of the hands. However, the funds spent will certainly come back in the form of a good mood of the baby and his mother. Have a good shopping!
