I'm in a low budget. Some suggest to buy a slip proof mat or extra straps. Do I NEED them or does it work without such extra items.

I bought the slip proof mat. The directions for the strap are crap at best. I have extra cheap 15' ratchet straps that I used in addition to the factory ones. But the factory ones will work. It is water proof.

hi, we bought ours last year before going to our family reunion. We didn't get extra straps or use the mat. Our car had a luggage rack but no bars for it. We ran the straps on the doors of the car and it worked fine. We are very happy with our purchase. It has lots of room it you pack it right, we had it packed full and no problems. Best of luck with yours on your travels.

I went from Florida to Wisconsin in a Ford Taurus and I can tell you I never once worried it was going to blow off.

I used this on a Honda civic without a mat underneath and it worked great. It was raining and was secured directly to roof with the 2 straps that are included. my car does not have a roof rack but was able to follow the simple directions for a 2 door car. My car is old so I wasn't concerned about scratches, didn't appear to add any

I drove from Chicago to Baltimore with the provided straps and additional 7.00 bungee cords from ace hardware (just in case). Probably didn't need them, but worked perfectly

Hi,This track is great, we've never had any slippage problems. I used to be a gymnast so I know how important that it doesn't is. There is Velcro on the underside of one end (to connect it to another one if you want it longer). Since most of the at home practice won't be full-tilt tumbling I wouldn't worry- just remember to get everything breakable out of the way, lolHope that helps!Have a great day,Beth

I have this mat on a wood floor. It is connected to a second mat. They do not slip. They are heavy. Those using it are 70 a 165. They do dance and gymnastics in it. One mat is not enough to cover what they like to do.

No straps. I have used it on a pad and had no problems. It is a tight bag so you really dont move much.

Not really. Most of the workouts don't need a mat. So you need a space as long as you are.

Yes its a good mat, you can probably find a smaller one but this one works great especially if you like the extra room. I don't have a problem with it slipping

It depends on what you are doing. I have 2 mats side by side and do tons of lateral cardio movements (jumping, sprints, etc) between the two. Over the course of an hour the mats will slip maybe a total of 1" with heavy use. If I am just lifting weights there is no slippage.

I don't use one because the fleece on the bottom is very nice but you could. I haven't had problems with slippage. It's more of an english fit obviously. It's a nice lightweight alternative.

The board has strips of something similar to corse sandpaper to help keep your feet from slipping. I regularly used it bare foot and it didn't bother me at all.

I would recommend you get extra length straps, but these things make a lot of "impossible" things, possible to move. My daughter and I, (two women) moved her tall front loading washer which is very heavy!

Absolutely that's where I use mine. Your choice of footwear will make a difference. Something without too much tread. I am thinking of buying a large floor mat like you'd use under the chair of a large desk but it isn't a deal breaker if your only option is to use it on carpeting.

I totally disagree. There is a 'webbed' material on the back that holds it in place on the seat....I'll tell you what compromises the effectiveness...seatbelts that don't immediate 'lock'...I had to swerve the other day and my grandaughters' car seat 'tipped' but the mat under it held in place and I feel it actually kept the car seat from tipping even further! I still stand by the use of my protector!

I have had no problems w/straps slipping. The only time I have slipping, is when I use my rashgard shirt underneath my suit. SRC

I have had no problems with the mat, and I'm not a light-weight. The mat would probably work well for you.

The material that the mat is made of is high quality. I have never had a problem with slipping.

I use the mats because I have a 3 x 6' run at the bottom of the cage (and a two story 'condo' at one end with ramps up and down). I have the whole set up on a scrap of linoleum, to protect the floor beneath from any spills and from smell. I use the mats to give my bunny traction to get around. They are also cooler in the summer. I used to use towels, but found he shredded them and I was afraid he might ingest them too. I hope this answers your question :-)

I bought it to help my mother stepping up to bed only. Her weight is 172 lbs. So, I put a rubber backing mat to avoid sliding and it is working fine.
