Let your baby enjoy tummy time with the Baby J Padded Play Mat

03/24/2014 By Irina 64 Comments

Baby J

Babies are recommended to have tummy time on a regular basis to enhance skills such as head lifting, rolling over, etc.

Most of the time we just throw a blanket on the floor and let me have their tummy time. Have you ever thought, is it soft enough where you put them for tummy time?

Baby J thought of it and came up with a GREAT solution to our problems. They invented the wonderful Baby J padded baby play mat. This play mat is a 29 inch x 35 inch cushioned play mat with super soft minky fabric on one side and cute fabric on the other side.

BabyJ.Play.Mat.RolledThere are tons of designs on their website. I chose to get the blue chevron fabric. The opposite side is white minky.

It comes with a velcro patch to keep it rolled up. It almost remind me of a sleeping bag once it is rolled up.

It took me a while how to figure out how to fold the play mat back up. I would suggest to the company to add a paper in the package they send you. It would make it easier. Luckily I was able to figure out so to fold it back up the way I got it.

Here are my steps of how I put it back together:
1.  Lay the play mat minky side up, fabric side down.

2. Fold in half hot dog style

3. Start rolling like a sleeping bag from the right side. (Opposite side from the velcro strap.)

4. Take the strap and the velcro should be rolled up to a point where you can take the velcro strap and strap it.

BabyJ-How to roll upI have included in the above picture of how I did it. That way once you get your mat you won’t have to wonder on how to fold it back up. 🙂

Baby JThis is what it should look like all folded up. It makes it easy to carry and can easily fit in a bag if you wanted to take it with you anywhere. Or it would fit in the stroller if you took it to the park or any other place.

Baby J has more than just the normal play mat. They sell an extra large play mat that is 58×58 inches.

They also sell burp clothes and bibs. You can purchase these in a set of 3 different vibrant fabric choices. Or you can buy a gift set which comes with a play mat, bib, and burp cloth.

They sent me a matching bib and burp cloth with my play mat.

babyj.bibThe bib is a perfect size. It is large. I love that it’s not a tiny one that has little effect. The back of the bib has a soft fabric making it comfortable to wear.

babyj.burp.clothThe burp cloth is made exactly like the bib. The fabric on the back is the side you most likely would wipe the babies mouth with since it is more soft.

BabyJ.ToddlerHere is my toddler on the play mat. She loves this thing and thinks it’s hers. She may be a little disappointed when she realizes it’s for her little brother and not her.

BabyJ.PlaymatThe Baby J padded play mat will be perfect for my son when he arrives. This play mat was Mom invented and I must say, it’s a great piece of work. I would highly recommend this to anyone who has a baby who LOVES tummy time. This is the perfect match, and your baby will thank you.
