Has anyone used this over hardwood floor for a baby to play on? We have those foam puzzle pieces that go on the floor but it's not soft enough.

You could use the mat for a baby. It's much thicker than those foam pieces. The only think is the mat is not that wide so it's a pretty small playing surface.

Totally fine for a baby. Keep in mind its not a square, it is a long rectangle. Definitely soft enough.

The foam they put in there is really dense. I work out on concrete floors and I don't feel the shock in my tailbone like I did with those foam puzzle pieces.

On Carpet is ok, on wood is going to be a problem. It would probably withstand toddler abuse but is not a solid wood piece of furnature.

I put it on my brick fireplace and it sticks fine...when the baby isn't pulling it off. My only recommendation would be to cut into medium or small pieces. If you have one large piece going across the entire brick fireplace then it will fall. We have two pieces going the length of the fireplace and it works just fine. We of course have smaller pieces on the sides of the fireplace.

We have hard wood floors throughout most of our house and the wheels definitely don't grip. It's more like they fly over the floors. They do actually roll though, just rather quickly. And our little one is very rough and tumble so that could be part of our problem with this item.

Foam is not going to give you the bounce you need to play. My kids love this toy, it has lasted 2 years plus (not my walls).

When my baby was really little I didn't use it on hardwood alone, I usually put a blanket under it. Now that he's rolling over and shuffling a bit I'll leave it on the floor alone.

We used it on a wood laminate floor. It worked fine although we didn't use the suction cups. It moves pretty easy and once the twins started moving they had a blast pushing it around. We used a play mat in it for comfort. They are 19 months now and use a little section of it to play house and hide from each other. Will be using it again when #3 is born in about 6 weeks.

I had mine slide on our wood flooring. The edges comes off in long narrow pieces some with corners that can get tore off and in babies mouths. I'd use the ones made for children's rooms, not these.

We use ours sometimes on the hardwood, it is only lightly padded though, I have a foam mat I like to put underneath.

This works great for that! We have all hardwood floors and I'm so glad I bought this! My son is 19 months now and we still use it for his "corner" in the living room. Of course, now he can take it apart!

There is a very thin foam under the holes. I have hard wood floor so the ball often goes in the hole hits the hardwood and pops back out. I put a rag under it to fix this problem. Overall, this was a great purchase and I am very happy.

Not at all! My grandson has banged this thing on a hardwood floor, against walls, etc and it shows no sign of wear whatsoever. I just wipe it with soapy water after his visit and let it air dry. VERY well made toy!

my 2 year old granddaughter exercised with this item on hardwood floors. there was no damage whatsoever to the floor. however, bear in mind that she was very young and didn't weigh much. my older grandchildren used this on tile and stone floors only - there was no damage to the tiles or stone even though they played hard and rough.

The reason would be that your kid would roll off the air mattress onto the floor. This is meant for a toddler, not a 9 month old. We have a 2 year old that loves it, and a 7 month old we would never put in it.

I have this set up inside. If you want to put it on hardwood I would recommend putting a tarp down first. The corners are a little sharp and could scratch the floor. This play pen isn't the easiest to move just so you know.

I think so...I've got it on hardwood and the baby can move it a little, but not enough to be a concern. I think it'd actually work better on carpet.

We have wood floors, but my little is stopped by the wheels every time he gets to an area rug or carpeted rooms. Maybe you could find something with more versatile wheels?
