Would this work as a carpet replacement so that my son can comfortably crawl if I placed this mat on wooden floors? Would it provide sufficient cushio

Yes! For extra cushion I also used the rug I had in the living room and placed it underneath the mat in his playing area. But as soon as they become more mobile they will crawl around the house and the hard floors are not a problem for them as I found out. Since I still think it must be uncomfortable, I just had him wearing pants all the time. So although the mat is great, they won't need it for very long.

We use it in our house on hardwood floor and it is work fine , it is easy to clean . It is made of plastic so it is not feels like fabric and not very soft . But we like it

No. This is a very cheaply made mat. I received it in about 3 weeks after ordering. It was shipped directly from china. It is already torn in a place. I ended up buying the Baby Care Play Mat - Genius Bear - which is excellent for the hardwood floors. There is ample cushion for the hard floors.

Hello, we Have hardwood floor and found it to be just fine in protecting our son from some of his falls. He has taken some pretty bad spills on this mat and has basically dusted himself off and kept going. Our son has used this since he was about 7 months old and is now 13months old. Now that he walks it's obviously harder to keep him on the mat but that's not really the mats fault! :) hope that helps.

Yes, I have wooden floors also. It will stay in place while you exercise. I have an area where I exercise and the mat stays down until I pick it up, no slipping.

I'd be perfect. We used it on carpet with our first child and now over wood flooring for our second. You don't need to put any underlayment. If spills happen, just lift up the foam and dry all areas quickly to avoid growing any mold. After 2 years, mine is still in perfect condition, none of the colors bled & it's easy to wipe down (for sanitation purposes if you have a baby who crawls/is teething). My only complaint is the smell when you first open the package-air it out somewhere dry and away from the kids for a day or two. Enjoy!

We have wood floors and a thin rug. So depending on your carpet would be how well it would work. My daughter is still slightly short to ride it (29 inches) but loves pushing and pulling it around

Hi Cynthia: If your carpet is thin this would probably work okay. It is flexible (it comes either rolled up or folded over) and is very good on hard floors. It would not be good on plush carpet

It has been a while since I used it but it I remember it being quite cushioned. It does depend on the age of your child. If your baby's head is still wobbly, and their is a chance they could accidentally knock their head when rolling over etc, I think the wood floor directly underneath will be too hard. I also have wooden floors but lots of rugs too, and it was generally placed on top of a floor rug and not directly on a the wooden floor.

Works just fine on carpet actually you might prefer carpet. on wood and tile it can be a bit of a racket

This mat is for a carpet area, not hardwood floors. It has feet on the bottom to grip the carpet.

It will not slide well on carpet. But a chair mat as you mentioned should do well. It is a very good chair.

Bought for niece's 1 y/o. She sent me a video of him pushing and walking behind on hard wood floors. Looks like the wheels roll pretty easily. It seemed to give him enough support , though. He is not walking solo, yet. There would probably be more resistance with carpeting.

Yes, It moves easily on wooden floors. It also moves on carpet pretty well.

I purshased this solely for my then 6 months old daughter who just started crawling, i wanted her to crawl and sit on something that is not as hard and cold as our hardwood floors and it served its purpose, I had to tape all the joining parts of mats because they came off easily and the bottom part of mats were very slippery against our hardwood floors so we had to put weighty furnitures on the edge of mats to anchore it to the floors so I can't see how one can use this for cardio work outs.

It could be used on carpet its heavy but it may not be stable enough that the train won't tip but it's a great mat

Our Barracuda exercise mat works well on most carpets. It may shift a bit depending on the thickness and shine/gloss of the carpet, but so far most people have found that it works well on carpet. Thanks for your interest in our product:)

The mat part isn't very thick, about 1/2 inch. The top cover is slightly thicker/plush at 1 inch. If putting on carpeted floor it wood be okay as my kids haven't complained (only used for short sleeping times) but a hardwood or laminate would be pretty uncomfortable.

No - It's not like the mat you put under the chair by your computer...its WAY thinner. Ours keeps getting crumpled up when we move the chair around so its not my favorite purchase. However, for the price it does the job of protecting the carpet. I don't try my vacuum over it as I'm sure it would try suck up the edges - I just shake off crumbs and/or wipe it down with a cloth.
