Totter and tumble mats/little Fae

So our baby is at the point of trying to walk and we have a foam style mat off amazon, it's not that thick but wipeable and light. Ive been looking at more padded mats but they are so expensive, the Totter and tumble on is £160 and Little Fae is £120, are these worth it? Does anyone have one and feel it is good? Or any alternatives?

Can't speak for others but the totter and tumble playmat is well worth it. We are using ours 3.5 years on. Annoyingly the cat keeps scratching it but other than that it has held up really well.

Don’t no much about little fae, we have a totter and tumble mat in our living room, bought it with our first and hasn’t moved since, now on our second toddler, one of the best things we bought for our baby. I dread the think the number of rugs we would have gone through with the, pee, vomit, occasionally poo, paint, glitter, pens, messy play and food that it regularly sees. A good wash down with detol and it’s as good as knew

Absolutely love our Totter and Tumble Mat, it’s just so much nicer to sit on the floor with them, also great for exercising 😂 we have two dogs so I worried how it would stand up against their claws but it’s great. Best baby purchase tbh.

We still have our totter and tumble and our daughter is nearly 6. It lasts brilliantly and if be tempted to get another one as she is still busy doing gymnastics all over it.

Thanks yes we have an older child who has started gymnastics which I think helped sway us as the other mat has slipped out from under them a few times. How do they cope with stains? Ive ended up getting a light coloured one, the darker patterned ones are gorgeous but think they'll take over the room and will clash a bit with other patterns

Totter & Tumble is amazing. We have the large mat, a runner, and a circular mat in various rooms in our home.

One of our best baby/toddler buys ever.

All of our mats are various patterns, all light coloured.

I've wiped all sorts off them including various squashed berries, chocolate, mud, and all colours of felt tip pens. There's not a mark on them. I also hoover them, I just make sure to use the hoover on the low setting.

i have personally had both mats and 100% prefer Little Fae. They are much thicker and squishier than Totter and Tumble. Plus I prefer the designs that Little Fae have and they’re cheaper!xx

I have a nearly 4 year old totter and tumble mat, still in really good condition despite being placed in the sun
