The tummy time water mat helps your baby build strength on the back, legs, arms and neck and helps hand-eye coordination. This is a sensory enjoyment that promotes brain development.

Our recommendation is to use a tummy time play mat when your baby reaches 3 months old. At 3 months your baby can properly engage with black and white visual cues and have enough strength to support themselves for short amounts of time – enough to be able to get the most out of a play mat.

3 months: This is when your baby will get the most from the play mat. You can place them on their tummies on the mat for short periods of time, and they will start to explore. 4 months: Around this age, your baby will start to roll over, and the play mat is a safe place for them to practice this new skill!

The inflatable water mat is the perfect addition to tummy time for our young friends under age 6 months. The sensory qualities encourage brain development while the mat itself is great for physical development.

In order to prevent mold growth in your baby water mat, you will want to drain the water every so often and replace it with fresh water.

In addition to the potential for punctures, rips, and blow-out seams, inflatable water mats can also pose health concerns. This is because many of these mats are made from PVC (polyvinyl chloride ), a type of plastic that is known to contain potentially toxic chemicals, such as phthalates and lead.

Most babies can start tummy time sessions a day or two after they are born. Babies benefit from having two or three short (3- to 5-minute) tummy time sessions each day. As your baby gets older, you can have longer, more regular sessions throughout the day.

Even though newborns are very delicate in their early stages, you may be surprised to learn that they can start using a playmat as early as their first month!

Some mats are made of substances that can harm your baby's health, and manufacturers are often not transparent about what is in their “foam” products. The safety of products manufactured for use by children is particularly important, since children are especially vulnerable to toxic exposures.

Generally, child development experts suggest starting with a few minutes of tummy time each day and slowly increasing the duration as your baby grows stronger and more comfortable. It won't be long until your little one enjoys using their baby play mat for around twenty to thirty minutes at a time.

Not only do babies grow cognitively through the use of play mats, but there are tremendous benefits in visual perception, reaching and grasping skills, gross motor benefits, and self-awareness, as well as sensory stimulation and awareness. In addition, baby play mats can be incredibly versatile!

Water play gives many opportunities to develop gross and fine motor skills across the age ranges. Young babies love to reach out when water is being poured in front of them, they love to feel the trickle and try to grab the flowing water with an eager grasping hand.

By stimulating the feet, these play mats activate the vestibular and proprioceptive systems. These are responsible for balance, spatial awareness and body positioning.
