Would this be a good activity mat for travel? I need something that can pack down easily into a suitcase and not take up excessive room. Thanks!

Not really. I don't think it's very easy to take apart, and the plastic pieces take up a fair bit of room. They make another Fisher Price mat that is just a tummy time mat (my mom has it) that is like an ocean theme, and that's great for travel - it just rolls up like a quilt.

Absolutely this would be good mat for travel since carried many time while travel out and my kid enjoy a lot with this.

The travel mat is rolled up into a pillow. However, my husband prefers to use a small throw pillow for his neck & use the travel mat in his chair.

What mat? I only used this product by itself. I had that thing packed to its fullest capacity and it was strapped down perfectly. It did not move an inch, so if you do things very safely and securely, you should not have a problem. Hope this helps.

The case is large so it will count as a suitcase. It's sturdy. It will travel well. Whole pad folds up. It pops up in under 1 min. I know it's expensive but I'm a huge fan! Used it for two vacations. My ONLY complaint is I would not use it for a little newborn. The bottom is very sturdy and safe but not that amazing hard surface a newborn needs. I'm a little bit of a nut about my sleeping spaces but I trusted it 100% for my 9 month old.

I would say yes, it is compact enough to be packed for travel. I just recently got my Nutri Bullet and so have never traveled with it but, I believe it could be.

It's pretty big, I do not think it would fit in a suitcase. I would suggest it not be folded up and only rolled.

I use a mat, not the Concept one but the puzzle piece kind, so I'm not 100% sure it that would be fine. My guess would be that it would be, however my only concern would be the sweat... 30min/day is going to produce a lot of sweat, are you going to be ok with it falling on your carpet?

It folds or rolls fine. Because of the odor of the mat, I folded mine into a carryon bag. I didn't want it near my clothing.

It is a little bulky since it doesn't fold, I believe the base is heavy, I dont recall the weight. For me- it would be too heavy/bulky for travel, but I try to travel lite. But it's great for tabletop!

My husband uses this for travel and while it is not as sturdy as his Invacare one it is perfectly fine for around the house and even shopping. He weights 300 lbs and is 6 ft tall. It really is designed for travel as it can be folded into a suitcase. If this is going to be your main walker, I would suggest a heavier duty one. You should look into the rollators - wheels on all four wheels. Much easier to use full time - my husband has 2! And they have a seat - this doesn't! That is the objection my husband has when we travel!

It is not large, and does not take much room on a vanity, or if you want to take it on a trip, does not take much room in a suitcase- but be sure to wrap it in plastic, if traveling with it. Get some care instructions off the waterpik.com web site.

I use it for traveling to dance competitions. I simply put it in a folding chair bag.

I'm sure this would work when you travel - I have not gone anywhere to test it but it seems very durable. The only thing bad that happened with mine was that when I got it out for the spring/summer season a few days ago it seemed to have some mold on it from being folded in a closet. If it was mold, it must have been put away damp which was my fault. I washed it off with Lysol spray cleaner and it is fine.

there is a very big difference between the ekolite and prolite, and thickness is the major one! the ekolite is very very thin, so much so that it needs to be folded like a blanket, not rolled. i would suggest the ekolite be used as more of a travel mat because it is so thin, it is especially noticeable if you're practicing on a wood floor! the texture is also different. the ekolite has a sort of a textured zebra like pattern, where the prolite is grippy and slip resistant.

Hi, Robin ... for give the delay in response. I have been away from my email. I found this item to be easy to carry and very easy to unfold. I could imagine it being very useful as temporary seating during a visit. It is not designed for comfort, but for portability and durability. Nonetheless, we found it stable and accommodating for people of different sizes while on various outdoor treks. I hope you find this response helpful.

Well, for me, it's because I travel frequently and this one I can fold up and pack in a suitcase. It's light enough that it doesn't take up much space or weigh down my suitcase. Plus, it's so compact that when I'm home, I can just throw it in a drawer. If you don't need to take it anywhere and have space in your bathroom/house to store a bucket, then a dollar store bucket would certainly be the more economical choice.

Hi. You can roll it up and in my opinion it'll fit perfect in a suitcase and or carry on. It's perfect for any ways of traveling car,plane, etc. Hope this helps.
