Product Description

From the Manufacturer

Take Out Time Out mat (TOTO) is a portable time out spot that allows for a consistent method when teaching children acceptable behavior. The Supernanny, Nanny 911 and Dr. Phil all cater to the "time out" trend. They stress the importance of being consistent and using a consistent spot. This innovative new product recently received the iParenting Media Award, and a couple on-air recommendations by Kelly Ripa. Here's a great idea – Does your child have a hard time sharing his toys? Put the toy in time-out until your child learns to share.

Bought this product at the same time I bought the Learning Resource's Time Tracker (as seen on Supernanny). The combination has all but eliminated my 2 1/2 year old's need for a time out. He knows that we can now do a Time Out anytime, anywhere and his behavior has improved ten-fold. It's been extraordinary...

And while I cannot attribute his behavior change specifically to either the Time Tracker or the Time Out Mat, I do endorse their combined functionality. They work. They may even work separately, but I doubt it. The Time Out Mat simply provides my son a visible reminder of what awaits him should he misbehave or use a toy inappropriately. And he does anything to avoid it, yet he's cooperative when he has done something unacceptable and readily goes and sits in the circle until "time's up!"

This product is a good alternative to an expensive Time Out Chair. Still, it's overpriced for what it is -- a rubber mat. You could probably use masking tape on your carpet and achieve the same results...

I had to rate the "fun" level of this "toy" as low, because my 11-year-old special needs daughter didn't think it was very much fun. Overall, though, this is a wonderful tool for parents - at home or away! It's a very visual reminder that the child is being disciplined and every time we bring it out now, our daughter protests that she'll do better. Even our 15-month-old granddaughter recognizes it for what it is. Yet it folds up small enough to fit in a purse or diaper bag! These are going to become my favorite shower gift!

This Time Out mat is very durable and a great time out spot no matter where you are! However, it may work too good as my 3 year old wants to go into Time out to sit on it! The backing is a non slip surface so it won't slip from the floor or on a chair. It's not too big to take with you, but big enough for a 3 year old to sit on. If you need a little help with Time Out's this may do the trick!
