JJ Cole Essentials Blanket

Comment: I have used this product almost every day since I got it! You open it up, and lay it down and my baby and her friends crawl all around (luckily a few of us have one, so we create one giant area for them). It is waterproof - great for when my friends baby spit up all over it - a quick wipe and it was clean. It folds up pretty easily - a bit bulky - but you can get it closed and the carry strap is a nice feature. The size is good for maybe 2 active/crawling babies.... This item makes a great gift - I got one for my sister and she also loves it for her 2 kids. I plan on using this in the backyard, at the park, at the beach... everywhere! Love this blanket!

Comment: This is perfect for a day at the park or a day at the beach. It cleans up nicely and I love how it folds into a bag. It doesn't take up very much space at all. I keep it in my trunk all the time; you never know when it will come in handy.

Comment: I love this blanket! It is nice and sturdy and does not blow away in the wind. I use it at the park, beach, and many other places. If the ground it wet it will not soak through. I guess the only downside is if it gets really dirty you need to go to a laundry mat to use a super sized washer. But usually, you can just wipe it down with baby wipes and it cleans up well. It's a material that is slicky and repels dirt. So just don't set it down on top of dog poop and you will be ok.

Comment: My mom wanted a blanket durable enough to handle the chewing habits of our dogs. She came across this one, and besides loving the pattern, the price was hard to beat. She loved it so much, that I had to order 2 more for her. It's great that easily portable, but she bought it more for it's durability and she's very pleased with her purchase.

Comment: We purchased this when my first child was about 5 months old and are still using it (he is now 3 and has a little sister). We initially bought it for indoor use - my son spit up all the time and we got tired of washing blankets! This was perfect for keeping the floor clean and it was so easy to clean off! It is also incredibly portable - it folds up so easily and the detachable carrying strap is great. We have used it for countless playdates - both indoors and out - and this mat is still in excellent condition over 3 years later. It has become our staple baby gift for our friends having babies. We are sure to let them know that it is much more than a picnic blanket (although it is great for that too). We cannot say enough good things about this product!
