    Exclamation Foam mattress playmat - PVC cover - wanna find one!

    OK! For those of you who have seen the latest "Clarke Rubber" catalogue you will probably have seen a baby playmat mattress that is in there for about $50. It said water resistant cover so i went to check it out thinking it was what i was after and when i got there i noticed the cover is a material cotton cover!! You can take it off and wash it.... but that's not what i want!

    My friend has an awesome PVC covered foam mattress that is for her baby and it folds up into 3 so easy to transport or carry. She uses it for tummy time or for changing bub while sitting on the floor etc that type of thing...... or even just for baby as a playmat!

    It's a great idea! You can wipe spills, vomit, poo, wee etc anything off it and don't have to worry about washing......

    Now why can't I find one of these anywhere? I live on the Gold Coast. Anyone know where I can find one?? They are so practical and I'd use it heaps!!

    TIA

    A friend of mine has a Bubba Mat. They are fairly exey I think, but that's the only brand I can think of. It is quite a large mat and folds up neatly. I think it even comes with a carry case. It is brightly coloured and has numbers/pictures etc on it.

    LOL! I didn't realise they were that expensive! What about those alphabet type ones that clip together? They are just foam but you can wipe them down...

    I saw those clarkes rubber ones too and had the same thought - I want to find that sort of thing but with a vinyl/pvc cover insted of one that you take off and wash. We had a wipe down change mat for DS, and I think that probably alot easier than having to wash a cover of you get a poo explosion or similar.
    I wouldnt want to be paying more than up to $50 I think.
    I havent started looking properly yet, are they hard to come by in the wipe down covering?
