The baby water mat from NouBaby we liked it very much in the test. The application is uncomplicated and fast. The first thing that stands out positively is that the mat does not give off any unpleasant or chemical smell. To put the water mat into operation, we first wiped it off with a wet cloth.
The inner chamber of the water mat comes with 3-4 liters water filled. The quickest way to do this is under the tap. Alternatively, you can use a watering can or a bottle. After the water mat is filled, the outer edge inflated. There is a valve on the back for this purpose. The water mat has a normal non-return valve, as is known from conventional air mattresses. This keeps the blown air in the mat. However, this makes inflation a little more difficult.
After the water mat has been filled with water and air, all you have to do is turn it over and place it on a soft surface. Now the water mat ready to use - Only use under adult supervision. Draining the water is also easy. To do this, open the valve on the back. Unfortunately, not all of the water can run off; there is always some water left in the mat. Even after two days, the inside of the mat is still damp.
If a small hole occurs, it can be repaired with one of the four patches supplied. To do this, the patch is glued to the cleaned and dry hole. A waiting time of at least 30 minutes must be observed before the next use.
The water mat can go with you warm or cold water be filled. In summer, cold water can be filled in to cool the baby. In winter, warm water is recommended to keep baby comfortably warm and cozy.
With continuous use, the water should be changed about once a week to avoid mold and bacteria growth. At disuse the water should be drained. During this time the shutter should remain open. In addition, some vinegar or a small chlorine tablet can be added to the water. Since the baby does not come into contact with the water, this is harmless.
The water mat itself is handmade washable. So it can be cleaned quickly after playing.
