We bought it for vacation and it was great! Some people complained about how cheap the cars were so I brought some extra cars just in case. We really liked the included cars and thought they were great for color recognition. They are cheap plastic with misaligned stickers but my 2 year old didn't care. This rug helped my daughter make room for toys when we stayed with her great grandfather. I found the padding quite comfortable as an adult and my 2 year old spent a lot of time in it. BEWARE! Velcro Pro adheres to carpet so the mat doesn't slip or move. Velcro sticks to the carpet and can damage the carpet. We stayed in an old cabin and the carpet was fine.
