Perfect for nappy-free play, the Rudie Nudie Playmat is waterproof and comes in a vibrant pattern – just throw it in the wash at the end of the day.

The Bonds Stretchies Playmat is soft and padded; it has a reversible design and comes in bright, fun prints. While this product is an excellent option for a playmat, parents say they also use it as a change mat.

“I used to use them as a reusable change mat, so If it got dirty, I would throw it in the wash. We now use them for if we go somewhere and my son wants to sit on the floor, once again, just wash it afterwards.”

A charming option for newborns, the Living Textiles Character Playmat is soft, cuddly and perfect for photo opportunities.

“I loved these little mats,” wrote one parent. “They were perfect to have baby lie down on for the first six months. I would say after that they may outgrow it. Soft and cuddly, I took many growth photos of baby lying on the mat. Was easy to wash also, on gentle machine wash in the washing machine.”
