My mother-in-law just got me a nifty plat mat - this thing is really cool. I had never seen it before so I wanted to tell everyone about it – it is so freaking useful. It is called the SoftSpot by Wozzy and is a round mat that folds to the shape of a pie – and it has handles making it super easy to hang off your stroller handle or throw in the back of your car. I started using it mostly in my house with one of their removable covers (mine is polka dot and really cute). I plopped Ava on it with her toys while I got stuff done around the house – she really loves tummy time on this thing. But when we started getting out of the house more when the weather warmed up, we were literally taking it everywhere. It is water resistant and antibacterial which makes it great for the park or my son’s soccer games. We took it to a beach rental and it was awesome to keep the baby off the yucky floors. My mom-in-law got mine at buybuyBABY but I think you can order online on their site too http://www.softspotbywozzy.com. It’s my new staple shower gift – a little pricey but SO WORTH it.
