The safety of a baby crawling mat is mainly determined by its material. The crawling mat is generally composed of EPE and plastic wrap, the middle layer is EPE (pearl foam, a kind of odorless and environmentally friendly material of branches, often used in the packaging of food and nuisance products), and the surface layer is plastic wrap (an environmentally friendly color film, used for pattern printing). Generally, regular companies will issue relevant test reports for baby crawling mats, such as SGS test reports.

However, there is an endless stream of news about the unsafe material of the crawling mat, which makes mothers very worried. How to choose the right crawling mat? How to use it safely?

According to **many times**, substandard crawling mats will release the toxic substance formamide. What is formamide? In fact, it is a chemical compound, commonly used in the synthesis of fragrances, dyes, etc., and can also be used as a solvent in plastic processing, but it has been classified as a substance with reproductive toxicity by the European Chemicals Agency.

If the crawling mat contains formamide, it will enter the human body through the respiratory tract and **, causing irreversible damage to the human body. In addition, formamide at high temperatures'Ammonia will also be released in the environment, which can harm people's eyes and mucous membranes.

At present, there are many types of materials used in the crawling mats sold on the market, including EPE, PVC, XPE, EVA, each with its own advantages and disadvantages, and parents can choose according to their own situation. At present, the more mainstream are the crawling mats made of three materials: XPE, EPE and PVC.

XPE Crawling Pad:

XPE is an environmentally friendly material, comfortable and soft, very suitable for direct contact with the baby, and has a certain resilience, which can protect the baby in the crawling process.

EPE Crawling Mat:

EPE is essentially polyethylene foam, also known as "pearl cotton", which has the advantages of non-toxic and tasteless, bright color, not easy to fade, and has a certain thermal insulation effect.

PVC Crawling Mat:

PVC is also an environmentally friendly and non-toxic material, compared with several other materials, the softness is the best, but it is also the highest, almost several times that of the XPE crawling mat, on the other hand, the PVC crawling mat is heavier and easy to damage after absorbing water.

1.It is not recommended to choose too thin for babies who have just learned to climb, otherwise the cushioning force is not enough in the stage when the baby learns to climb. A crawling mat of centimeters and above will be more suitable for babies who are younger than one month; In order to create a comfortable, safe and free space for the baby.

If the baby is older (more than 8 months), you can choose 1cm, which is relatively not too expensive, and it is also convenient to collect.

2.Which is better, splicing pad or whole pad? It is generally recommended to choose the whole one, the formamide is not easy to exceed, and the baby is not worried about cracking when rolling and crawling on it, and it is also convenient to store and carry.

3.It is recommended to go to the counter of the shopping mall or a professional maternal and infant products store to buy, although there is no convenient outlet, but the shopping mall, the purchase channel of the regular maternal and infant store is relatively formal, the quality is relatively high, and the baby is safer.

4.When choosing a climbing mat, you should see whether the product has a formal test report, including specific test data such as heavy metals and formamide.

I said: Parents should clean up the unsafe factors in time

After the baby can crawl, the range of motion expands. This also means that things that you don't usually notice can also become dangerous factors. You may wish to bend down and observe your surroundings from your baby's point of view, see what you will encounter when you climb over, and do a big clean-up at home to minimize the danger.
