    Ren, there is one of those in the bottom of my porta-cot. It is a mattress (thin) that is pvc covered and folds into three sections. Is that what you meant? It is dark blue. I actually thought it would make a great play mat!

    Ren do you have a sewing machine?? If you do, or know someone who does, pop into a spot light and grab some padded PVC material (which will more than likely be in the same section as muslin wrap material) and whip one together yourself. You can buy a piece of foam from Clark Rubber and use your own cover. That is what I did and worked out so much cheaper plus you can make it whatever size you need. Plus another option is when bubba gets a bit bigger you can take off the PVC and put on a material one.

    We've got one that is a base for our playpen. But we haven't used it, coz the playpen is around the tv LOL. It's a fairly big square, and doesn't fold up neatly, but it sounds like what you want. We got it from babies galore with the playpen.

    Hi Renstar.

    Have you found a playmat yet? I have one that is a bit squishy and wipe-able. Mine is an Elmo one but you can also get Winnie the Pooh.

    My old work actually imported them and I did the product development on them. I found them today in a $2 like shop for $8.95 each (long story but my old work had to sell off a lot of stock extra cheap and these were RRP $29.95 from memory). Anyway, if you are still looking for something like this I would be happy to buy one and mail it to you .

    I have taken some pictures of DD on hers for you too see what they look like and the size (she is almost 8 kilos). They also fold into a storage like box.

    I sound like a saleswoman. (really I don't want you to waste your money if it is not what you are after).
