Review on KIDWISE 1.5 Inch Fanny Pads - Green Rubber Safety Mats (Set Of 2) by Mary Reed

We needed some mats to put at the end of our home playground slides to prevent and stop some mud spots that were forming. These mats are a good heavy duty mat for home use, love them. They are a good size for the home playset, not too big or small.I was worried because a lot of people reviewed them as being too hard but they are what I expected like any other mat you find at public parks. It is a compact rubber composite which is hard but has a slight "spring" back if you really push on t with your finger. My 3 year old constantly runs around barefoot and plays on his slides that way and he has not had any problems with the mat; no complaints that it hurts or is any worse than the bare ground.Both of our slides are pretty steep and kids flu down them pretty fast and we've had no problems with the mats shifting. The mat has some "grooves" on the bottom to help it keep grounded on the earth and grass underneath. I did lift up the bottom base of one slide and put one of the mats underneath so that the slide is on top of it to stabilize it more, the other mat just sits right at the bottom of the slide and doesn't slip around.Would definitely buy these again. When my kids are old enough to actually drag their feet under the swings we will definitely come back for another set. The product is pricey but compared to others on the market it is comparable so that's just the cost of this type of item, but the quality on these mats is excellent so you are definitely getting quality for your money.
