Great floor coverage for crawlers and new walkers. Much better than ones I've seen in stores

As a play area and a reading spot.

I bought these & the alphabet & the blank colored tiles & made a playroom that I'm getting lots of compliments on. Very fun to learn crawling & walking barefoot. I actually popped the numbers out & created a sort-of gate-type accordion-shaped structure with the numbered tiles that I use as sort-of a pre-baby-gate to remind the dog not to go in there. The cat walks through the zero & 8 holes. I may buy more. Great product. Oh & mine don't smell, not that I've stuck them up to my face.

We love these number puzzle play mats! They are very comfortable to sit and crawl on with a lot of cushion. We have 2 year old twins who love to pull the pieces apart, move them around and put them back together again. Our twins enjoy looking for the numbers and the different textures to the mats and numbers help to keep their attention. They are very durable with no rips or tears. I have recommended this product to a friend who is pregnant with her first child and will continue recommending it to people!

It's entertaining and great, but I also noticed that my son takes bites out of it... unexpected.

Comments about One Step Ahead 10 Piece Puzzle Mat Numbers Foam Play Mat:

They are so soft! These are much nicer than any other mats I have seen.

Comments about One Step Ahead 10 Piece Puzzle Mat Numbers Foam Play Mat:

I looked at these and the letters several times over a 6-8 month period, compared it to other mats, debated whether it was a good idea....

So glad I decided to purchase it, you don't need all the borders just the letters or numbers will do (I have the letters for home and the numbers for when he is at Grandma's). Its great to have a place where we can lay out all his toys at playtime.

As an added benefit it makes a great photo backdrop - I can't tell you how many great photos I ended up with while my son played on this mat already.

Excellent product. We have a 6 month old grandson and he loves this flooring. We purchased a similar product and compared the two side by side and BY FAR these are the BETTER and more beautiful Quality item than the Babies R Us flooring. When it comes to this flooring there is NO comparison. This flooring is top notch for our grandson. He can safely teeth on the letters as he learns how to use the puzzle pieces and learns his ABC's, numbers and shapes. and the great floor designs you can make out of the pieces are fun as well.
The flooring is thick enough for we grandparents to get down on the flooring to play and teach him. Not to mention he loves it and is now part of his daily routine.

Best part the price is right.

Our grandson's playroom is now complete using items from One Step Ahead and with their items our grandson will definitely be One Step Ahead.

We purchased these along with the ABC set to create a 6x6 play area for our 7 month old son. We also purchased the wavy edges & corner pieces to complete the look. I love that this product is safe for children his age (other brands are for 3yrs+) My son loves crawling around on it and playing with his toys.

Great for households with hardwood flooring.

We use this product along with the alphabet pieces and the fence to build our baby a safe play area and he loves being in there playing.

i love this set. My son enjoys the bright colors & different patterns. It's wonderfully thick & so much better than the others. It's worth the price!

Excellent product.

Comments about One Step Ahead 10 Piece Puzzle Mat Numbers Foam Play Mat:

We use this to pad our hardwood floors and make a colorful romper room for our toddler and infant. Noticeably more comfortable than thinner brands. Our toddler likes to take out/replace the letters and tumbling. The edge-piece and corner sets make for an appealing display. Note: puzzle play mats from different brands are not compatible. Besides the alphabet set, we also purchased numbers, shapes, solid colors, edges and outside corners. My only wish for improvement on this product is if there was an inside corner set like the hardwood-patterned foam set.

I have a 21 month old toddler with a baby on the way due in April. I also watch a 7 month old at home 3 days a week - I needed a specified area where they could play AND where I could see them from the kitchen that was "cushy" since we have mostly hardwood floors. This mat is perfect! It's colorful and extra thick (a BIG plus) and identifies the area well. I occasionally watch my 5 yr old niece also, and she LOVES taking the letters and numbers out to play with them. We also got the edges which make a very nice, finished look.

Comments about One Step Ahead 10 Piece Puzzle Mat Shapes Foam Play Mat:

Very thick and great quality. My daughter loves taking the small pieces and chewing them . Not fun!! I've already lost a couple of the pieces and have to throw away.

We got this for my 2 year old for his birthday because he loves puzzles and shapes. He has played with it everyday for the last 2 weeks (so has my 4 year old). It is a thick foam, very nice quality. The only reason I did not give it 5 stars is that the asterisk shape is hard for him to fit together by himself. I even have to "make" it fit.

Comments about One Step Ahead 10 Piece Puzzle Mat Shapes Foam Play Mat:

We have had the mat for three months and we love it. The colors are great and the mat is soft enough for playtime yet sturdy. There was no odor. Easy to move to different rooms and easy to clean. I use the steamer and dry swiffer on it. Definitely recommend.

Comments about One Step Ahead 10 Piece Puzzle Mat Shapes Foam Play Mat:

These are perfect for my granddaughter to sit and play and keeps her off the carpet where everyone walks. Easy to clean! and she figured out how to remove the shapes and put them back!

Comments about One Step Ahead 10 Piece Puzzle Mat Shapes Foam Play Mat:

We loved this playmat so much that we ordered enough to cover our entire playroom. It is thicker than most other playmats, which is nice when you sit on the floor to play with your child(ren). It will grow with them, as well.

Also, their comments for what to order to fill an 8x10 space was perfect...this was very, very helpful.

We did receive a few defective pieces, but OneStepAhead's customer service was fantastic! They replaced the pieces immediately.

Comments about One Step Ahead 10 Piece Puzzle Mat Shapes Foam Play Mat:

Great thickness! Interchangeable with our Step One alphabet and number mat pieces!!! Great product :)

Comments about One Step Ahead 10 Piece Puzzle Mat Shapes Foam Play Mat:

My nine month old daughter absolutely loves her puzzle mat and it will grow with her when she starts learning different shapes and how to assemble the pieces together.

Comments about One Step Ahead 10 Piece Puzzle Mat Shapes Foam Play Mat:

I bought these in addition to the regular solid blocks, and I'm so glad that I did. My 2yr old absolutely loves to take the shapes out and put them back and carries the shapes around the house, talking about which shape is which, etc. The only con is that one of the smaller pieces has disappeared already after a few weeks...but that's not due to any fault in design or construction or anything like that. They're well made and none of the pieces are too small or dangerous for a baby. I highly recommend these as an augmentation to the standard set.

Comments about One Step Ahead 10 Piece Puzzle Mat Shapes Foam Play Mat:

It is true that our eight month old son uses those puzzles more as a chewing buddy thus far, but we do go thru them periodically, take them out one by one, and look at the different shapes and colors!!! They really add excitement and interesting look to your floors and make the play time more fun. They can be combined with the rest of the other foam puzzles and create a super awesome, learning, and safe environment for our little one. They are so soft!!! It is great for tile or wooden floors, or any floor in that matter. Love it!

Comments about One Step Ahead 10 Piece Puzzle Mat Shapes Foam Play Mat:

Love these tiles! They are thick and colorful and my son definitely is interested in them. The only downside is the smell... Even after airing them outside every day for a week, they still have an artificial smell to them =(

Comments about One Step Ahead 10 Piece Puzzle Mat Shapes Foam Play Mat:

As soon as I put it down on the floor, the baby (15 months old) loved it! Cushy and colorful. The baby has learned all the shapes and plays with it all the time. I would definitely recommend it!

Comments about One Step Ahead 10 Piece Puzzle Mat Shapes Foam Play Mat:

This product is great!! I have seen other products that are really cheesy foam, this mat is thick and gives me an extra sence of security. Our floor is all tile and very hard. My son is learning to sit up and has fallen while on the mat and hit his head several times and does not cry or even give a sad face. He has spit up on the mat as well, the clean up is easy. You will have to take the mat apart where the mess is to get in the opeings, but not a pain to do this.

I also vaccume over the mat to clean it and it does not fall apart or get sectioned up by the vaccume.

I have an 85 pound dog that puts holes in the mat with his nails. That said, I would still purchase this product.

Comments about One Step Ahead 10 Piece Puzzle Mat Shapes Foam Play Mat:

This mat is a great playmat for our twins. The girls can crawl all over and practice their sitting up without us fearing they'll topple over and hurt themselves. The thickness really helps protect them AND it is soft for us to sit on to play with them. The colors are fantastic and stimulating and we go over our numbers and letters while sitting to play. My twins are seven months old right now and I can see as they grow they can put the 'puzzles' together and build cubes with them. We really love this product and would recommend to any parent !! Also easy to wipe clean.

Comments about One Step Ahead Foam Puzzle 4 Piece Corner Kit:

A must have to complete the playmats. Very solid and match exactly to the blank, numbered, and alphabet foam mat sets. Just make sure you do your math correctly as they are very expensive for what they are...basically double the price...

Comments about One Step Ahead Foam Puzzle 4 Piece Corner Kit:

I like that these complete the look. They look/work great!

Must have for finishing a free form play area

Comments about One Step Ahead Foam Puzzle 4 Piece Corner Kit:

Was a little confused on how many I needed to purchase. I wasn't sure if the 4-piece set was for each corner. Turns out, purchasing just 1 of the 4-piece set will take care of 4 corners. You need to buy the wavy edges for the corners to work. They will NOT connect to the actual foam mat. But overall, they are great and make the mat look much better, and distracts children from taking the mat apart and chewing on the puzzle pieces that stick out.

Great addition to the floor mat set.

Comments about One Step Ahead Foam Puzzle 4 Piece Corner Kit:

I live this product!! The colors are very vibrant!! The only negative is we were given too many of the same color so one side of our floor is mainly purple and orange. So I wishe we were given the same amount in each color.

Comments about One Step Ahead Foam Puzzle 4 Piece Corner Kit:

This is the best thing we purchased when our baby started sitting up and then crawling. It is so easy to pack up and take with us other places, so we dont get the carpet/floor dirty in a guest's house, and it is so easy to clean. Love it!

Comments about One Step Ahead Foam Puzzle 4 Piece Corner Kit:

When i purchased this product i was afraid my daughter would chew on it and break pieces of off it. I was amazed to discover that the durability of this product makes it perfect teether :) she puts it in her mouth, chews on it, and it maked great gum massager for my 8 months old baby. i am very very pleased with the quality, look and educational posibilities. Great product

Comments about One Step Ahead Foam Puzzle 4 Piece Corner Kit:

These look great. I wish they made inverted corners so the mat doesn't have to be a perfect square. These pieces are perfectly thick for a hardwood floor. I bought after my child started sitting-up and falling backwards.

I bought this to finish off the edges to the activity mat I bought for my infant son. They keep him from tugging at the squares that make up the mat.

Comments about One Step Ahead Foam Puzzle 4 Piece Corner Kit:

I bought the corner and wavy edge pieces about 5 months after purchasing the puzzle play mat. I bought them to protect the jigsaw puzzle edges of the mat but they also add a nice finishing touch.

Comments about One Step Ahead Foam Puzzle 4 Piece Corner Kit:

We set up a play area in our living room using these with hopes of protecting our hardwood floors, and she loves that she has her own area to play with bright colors that are very appealing to her. The only con is that you can't select your colors on the edge pieces, and we wound up with not much variety when we ordered several pieces to surround our mat.

Comments about One Step Ahead Foam Puzzle 4 Piece Corner Kit:

I added the edges to my alphabet and number set and it sure makes it look complete.
