Why the floor is the best place for your baby to play
The floor is a perfect place for your baby to play. It may seem obvious, but many experts recommend babies spend more time on the floor—and less time in seats, swings, and strollers—to build muscle strength and control.
Try putting The Play Gym mat on the floor in the kitchen while you cook, in the living room while you fold laundry, or wherever you are. Your baby is craving unrestricted time to move and discover their body.
Note: Always supervise your baby during floor and tummy time.
