Looking for a protective mat that my 4 year old niece can use on the carpet for playing with her Play Doh - will this work?

I don't see why not. It's about 3.5 x 3.5 ft. Heavy laminated canvas. Cleans up easy.

This would work great for that. It has a very glossy surface, so the Play Doh should not stick it very much. Once the Play Doh dries, it should peal right off.

Unfortunately no. As my son started moving around I became concerned about him bumping his head even though he was on this playmat. There is cushion and it is soft, but not thick. I think it's better for soft surface like plush carpets or outside on the grass.

I have a high pile shag area rug in the playroom. It does roll over it but it's a little harder to maneuver. I'm sure it would work fine on a short pile rug or carpet.

Never used a mat inside the playpen, but you could always buy a carpet remnant and use the playpen to trace a template and cut the remnant to fit.

We have ours set up on the rubber alphabet mat on our wood floors but it comes with rubber stickers for the bottom to make it slide proof!

The mat has velcro around perimeter that could be used for some traction if the floor was carpeted enough to adhere. Mat would slip across wood floor without something holding it in place. Hope this helps.

I'm not a fan of it for plush carpets since it's a soft plastic; chairs leave large dents in it, making it hard to move around on if you have a chair with wheels. On my plush carpet, the chair moves around better without the mat. The mat does protect the chair wheels from getting string and lint on the axels however.

We have wood floors and a thin rug. So depending on your carpet would be how well it would work. My daughter is still slightly short to ride it (29 inches) but loves pushing and pulling it around

We use the puzzle tiles under ours. It works well. An alternative could be the full foam mats. Look at a preschool supply store site for best deals and ideas. But, the answer to your question is yes. :)

This one has hard plastic caps which should protect the floors however how stable I do not know mine is on carpet.

As I wrote in my review of this product: YES, the plastic base will slide around on carpets, wooden or tile floors, which in turn will reduce the rocking fun. However, there is a solution to that: at any Walmart or K-Mart you can buy play mats for kids, wich are made of slip resistant foam; if you put the rockin' rider on such a mat there is no more sliding around and the fun can begin!! Hope this was helpful to you. Best regards, Andy.

The mat part isn't very thick, about 1/2 inch. The top cover is slightly thicker/plush at 1 inch. If putting on carpeted floor it wood be okay as my kids haven't complained (only used for short sleeping times) but a hardwood or laminate would be pretty uncomfortable.

Not sure purple gliders would work that well on an exercise puzzle mat (seems like it would stick), but I guess you could try! I use mine on carpet, and it works fine.

Yes! For extra cushion I also used the rug I had in the living room and placed it underneath the mat in his playing area. But as soon as they become more mobile they will crawl around the house and the hard floors are not a problem for them as I found out. Since I still think it must be uncomfortable, I just had him wearing pants all the time. So although the mat is great, they won't need it for very long.

I wouldn't use the double-sided tape on carpet. It would probably cause damage. You could try looping masking tape to apply it to your floor, but if kids are running all over it it probably wouldn't last long.

The answer is NO! Works very well on tile floors - made the mistake of not checking that out. Although, not good on carpet it is very sturdy and nice. My granddaughter loves it (was 6 months old when received)!!! And I don't think it is up to the child because it is just not good on carpet - most children maneuver it backwards first, my granddaughter went forward first. And I have not tried checking the safety feature like Cynthia mentioned. I will have to check that out - good to know.

Personally, I'd put another mat or a rug beneath it. It has a decent pad if it's placed on a carpeted surface, but I'd be a little nervous putting it on a hardwood floor. Otherwise, I loved this play yard. :)
