I needed some kind of mat for the equinox. With a dog, a 2 year old and lots of time outdoors with toys at the park, bikes, sand and adventures I needed something! The back was carpet material that can't be vacuumed or cluttered, so I jumped at it when it was on sale for $13. I'm so glad I did! It fits perfectly and even has sides (can be cut off) but I left them to protect the back panels. Everything catches! However, the rubber smell went away after a few days.
