We have marble floors, so does this have enough padding to put onto that--meaning a layer of foam--or do we need to place on carpet or foam play mats?

You will definitely need padding underneath. The bottom of this is similar in thickness to a blanket, not very cushiony. We use this on our area rug in our living room with hardwood floors, which is ok. But if I were you I would put an extra thick blanket underneath.

Ours does fine in same set-up (concrete basement floor with pad and carpet, but no mat). We have not had a problem with it moving or damaging berber carpet.

Standard carpeting with standard padding, yes, because the base is so heavy. There is a very slight tilt that is not really noticeable, but it might be worse if you had thicker carpet and/or padding.

No not really. There isn't any padding at the bottom. I put this on top of a play mat so it's cushioned.

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!

Yes, there is some sort of rubber-ish material on the bottom on this product. This said, it wouldn't hurt to put it on a carpet pad or something of that nature and then simply cut around it.

It actually brings a padded floor, we just used a down comforter to wrap the padded floor and it was perfect, nice and comfy. But if you want to get a mattress, they have a few such as Dream On Me 3" Playard Mattress, White & Kolcraft Cozy Soft Portable Crib Mattress, Lily

The foam itself does seem a little slick for carpets. We use it on wood flooring, which it stays in place pretty well.

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.

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.

We use ours sometimes on the hardwood, it is only lightly padded though, I have a foam mat I like to put underneath.

IMHO, Yes you need a rug pad. Both to cushion the rugbuddy and to keep it from sliding. Look for a fire resistant one, just for the peice of mind. Also, i love this thing. What a diffeence it made!! Hope this was helpfull.

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.

It will not slide well on carpet. But a chair mat as you mentioned should do well. It is a very good chair.

No, a building plate is not necessary since these are free standing Legos for table or floor. For carpeting I would suggest a piece of cardboard or the building plate. My 2-1/2 year old grandson loves these. I got the Lego table to go with the blocks to store the Legos in.Best of luck!Sandy

It has foam "feet" on the bottom. It won't scratch your floors but it slides all over my tile flooring. I had to put a rug under it.

It does not. I would suggest a rubber mat of some kind underneath maybe? Mine is on carpet.
