Is the mat heavy enough to keep a 6 mo. old from pulling it up off the floor and over them like they would with a blanket?

No I think they could pull it up because it is just padded fabric. The baby care mats are heavier and more cushioned although they are bigger. My daughter bought one for her 4 month old baby and she likes it. Plus it's comfortable for adults when they play with their baby on the mat.

Yes it is strong enough! I love this mat and so does my 6 m old granddaughter! A well worth buy!

No it's not , but my twin boys played on it from about 3 months to 9 months. I absolutely loved this mat.

No,it isn't. It's light but I don't think a 6mons baby can pull it up or use it as a blanket.

It's prob in borderline of that but it's really big and baby won't be able to pull over if he's on it.

The cloth that it is made of is very sturdy. Generally, they say not to give toys with the beads to babies. He has weighted beads in his bottom. However, if supervised, it seems like it would be safe enough. My 19 month old plays with him a lot. He has a nice weight to him, and definitely has a strong baby scent.

Yes! My daughter has been using this since she was 3 months old and loves it. Shes now 4 months old and weighs 13lbs. You will need to put a pillow below her feet for support because her feet wont reach the floor. I also roll up a receiving blanket and wrap it around her chest to help keep her steady in the seat.

This is not the mat for you. The back stays up only because a car seat is sitting on it. It is also just wide enough for a car seat. Bigger kids could easily cover the entire mat when they sit on it so I am not sure it will work as well as you would want it to. I would actually suggest you look into mats intended for pets. Yes I know this sounds bad, but these are usually the only ones that will cover the middle seat and almost all have straps of some kind to allow them to stay up.

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.

It is VERY large. It would depend on how large your baby is & what they are capable of. My son was 19 lbs & 29 inches long at 6 month. He could roll over in all directions & lift himself up if he got over on his face. If your baby can do that it would probably be ok.

I think it is padded enough- all my floors are wood as well. My 4 month old has begun to roll and squirm beyond the mat though, so now I put a large old quilt under so he's not kicking and playing on the hard wood

Use for what? I wouldn't place my 4 mo baby on the mat without any other blanket/cloth as the mat would be a little rough for her/his skin. For safety measure 7 to crawl around it's great.

The material is way better than those classic children mats. To me the thickness is just about right and it's enough to protect my baby from bang or fall on it. I am really in love with it myself as I play on it with my baby for most of the time...have fun!

Hello,we Have hardwood floor and found it to be just fine in protecting our son from some of his falls. He has taken some pretty bad spills on this mat and has basically dusted himself off and kept going. Our son has used this since he was about 7 months old and is now 13months old. Now that he walks it's obviously harder to keep him on the mat but that's not really the mats fault! :) hope that helps.

The mat is attached with snaps and is very snug. It does not move when the baby is playing. I hope that helps. Thanks

Not really. It kept my son's upper body from rolling out but not his legs and hips. Definitely should only be used on a floor, not raised.

The mat is rather soft for children's activities. A kids plastic placemat would be a better alternative.

I think yes. Maybe with a little extra head support from a rolled blanket. I didn't buy this until my baby was 4 weeks old. He's 11 weeks now and uses it every day.

Hi Jody...it's not SUPER sturdy but I have used it for several newborn sessions and will layer blankets on it. I have noticed it wanting to tip from time to time so I always am extremely careful about weight but if you have it set up with no tugging or bumping involved i think you should be good.

It is sturdy...we sit on top of it to put on our shoes. It will depend on what type of floor it will be on as to whether it can be pushed around. However, it is heavy but nothing is toddler proof.

My daughter jumps on it daily and although the bands are holding up, the mat has a permanent dip where she jumps. It's about 6 months old.
