Padded baby mats provide extra comfort for babies during diaper changes. They are usually padded with foam and vinyl, but there are various materials used to make them. Some of them have elastic around the outside edges to secure the mat in place on top of other surfaces, while others do not.
There are three things you need to know about padded baby mats before making your purchase:
1) they can be expensive;
2) you might need more than one depending on how many children you have;
3) if it’s going to be an essential item for your home, quality should be a priority.

There are two main types: a padded changing pad, which can be used as an extra layer between your baby’s skin and any surfaces (e.g., carpets) to protect their delicate skin, or a padded floor mat, for when your baby is crawling or learning to walk.
