Recommend a picnic blanket

[anotherangel2]

I have just discovered that light weight picnic blankets are a thing! I am looking for a light weight picnic blanket to pop in our bag for day trips. Mostly just me and the toddler but sometimes for two adults and a toddler. Does anyone have any recommendations please?

I just use one of the cheap ikea fleece blankets. Lightweight, easy to wash when it gets covered in banana and yoghurt and although it's not totally waterproof, it's fine on damp grass.

I've coveted this picnic blanket by Fatboy for years, but at £249 I think not. You can get nice, lightwweight plastic backed blankets which roll up and come with their own little strap carrier quite cheaply on eBay or Amazon in a variety of patterns and colours. I got my current one in TK Maxx in the sale, use it lots.

We have this one www.gooutdoors.co.uk/hi-gear-fleece-picnic-rug-p429387

Thanks everyone. I went for the one below. Hopefully is compact enough but still comfortable.

I’ve had a massive Buggy Snuggle one for 10 years +. It’s brilliant.
