This is a great blanket! The back is a water-resistant material so you don't get wet when sitting on damp grass. The top is a soft cotton type material. The blanket is lightly padded to keep you comfortable from hard ground and small pebbles. It's machine washable. It folds up easily to fit back in the matching tote bag that it comes packed in. It's large enough to hold two adults, a baby and all of the baby's play things. I'm so glad I purchased this and I look forward to many years of use.

This blanket is a great size, easy to fold, and perfectly water-resistant. However, its top layer (quilted top) and bottom layer (water resistant material) are not sewn together. Every time someone steps on it, they slip. My two-year-old fell the first time he stepped on the blanket because the quilted top slipped right out from under him. I would have returned it immediately, but I have needed a waterproof blanket several times lately. I don't know if it's just a faulty blanket or if they are all this way. I'm unhappy with my purchase because it was more expensive than several other types, but I liked the look of it, so I spent the extra money. I'm so disappointed, not to mention [...]

This is an excellent purchase! I was given one as a gift and took it to an outdoor concert with my husband and newborn and our friends who have toddlers loved it so much we bought them one for a holiday gift. It is terrific because the grass does not stick to it so you can shake it off and the backside is water resistant for that recently watered grass that everyone hates to put blankets on! Funny thing is, even wet grass does not stick to it that much! I love how I can fold it up into a carrying case and put sunscreen, etc into the side pocket. It also washes perfectly! I will be giving this as a gift for every new family!

I bought this since my daughter and I go to the parks often. But was very unsatisfied with the product. We use it for a couple of minutes and had to put it away. My daughter is 16months old and every time she tried to stand up she would slip and fall on her bottom! The Fabric kept on moving under her and making it slippery for any one to try and sit down or walk accross it!

Would not recommend it to anyone to purchase!

After visiting with 2 other mommies that had Tuffos, I decided to purchase one for our burgeoning family---Supercool! Lightweight, waterproof, many choices with pattern, love the carry strap thing. Kind of wish the straps were part of the blanket itself, but I understand that it would compromise the waterproof backing. Be careful when pulling off the mfc tag, can tear the stiches!
Great product overall, we think!

I bought this thinking like the rest of you - yay! A waterproof blanket. Just what I was looking for me and my two year old. But, this past week we had an Easter Egg hunt...unfortunately it rained off and on that morning, so the grass was wet. When we sat down on the blanket, our behinds got all wet. I was VERY disappointed on this $40 dollar purchase!!

Took this out and layed it on the carpeted living room floor to test it. My 1 yr old took one step and her foot shot forward so fast she landed on the back of her head. Thank goodness we were on the soft floor. The top padded cloth portion of this blanket is not connected to the bottom water resistant portion except on the sides. This means the top slips and slides with the slightest touch over the bottom. And it slides fast! Not safe for small children, as they usually step on blankets before sitting down. My 4 yr old slipped, but didn't fall down. Why chance it? Took it outside to see if being on grass made any difference, but no. It still slipped all over the place, therefore also causing the blanket to not stay flat if you plan to move at all while you are on it. I don't know why other reviewers like this blanket so much. Mine's going back. Too dangerous.

This blanket is easy to fold in the carry pouch. I recommend washing it first because it is not soft when you first get it. I do NOT recommend for hills - the nylon bottom will act as a bobsled on anything other than a flat surface. Stitching is strong and the colors didn't fade at all when I washed it.

i was disappointed with the size and the thickness, especially considering the price. the size is rectangle shaped so it doesn't fit well under the playyard and it is too thin so you can feel every little pebble or twig underneath it.

Pros:
Great water resistant/kid tough material.
Large size.
Great colors.
Light weight.
Washable.
Does not collect sand.

Cons:
Inconvenient carrying case that is not attached to mat.
Even if mat is rolled into smaller size, the loose case is useless.
