The product is made of a soft, yet dimensionally stable material that leaves a very robust impression. The manufacturer has not provided any specific information on the sustainability of the product. However, the use of high-quality materials and the careful workmanship suggest a certain longevity .

This is what our practical test showed

Does the manufacturer keep its advertising promises?

ℹ️ Our practical test has the highest relevance and therefore weighting. Here, the product has to undergo a wide range of criteria and tests. We check the functions and product promises of the test article.

*The maximum score is 100 points

The comfort is outstanding, as the play mat has an insulating effect and is 1.5 cm thick, making it comfortable to sit on and walk on. The generous dimensions of 200 x 180 cm offer plenty of space for playing and exploring. Another plus point is the material safety, as the product is BPA-free. Parents can therefore be sure that their child can play on it safely. The functionality of the play mat is also impressive. It helps to strengthen the neck and shoulder muscles, teaches safe walking and promotes independence. Thanks to its versatility, the product can be used as a yoga mat, picnic mat or learning mat. It is also water-repellent, making it suitable for indoor and outdoor use. However, the folded grooves on the side with the children’s motifs make cleaning a little more difficult. Customers can choose between three different designs (Blue, Scale, Bear), including playful children’s mot ifs with a simpler reversible side for adults.

Price/performance ratio

and ratings from consumers

ℹ️ Finally, we examine how the product compares to the competition. Can it keep up with the competition in terms of price and quality? Would we generally recommend buying it? We also look at the consumer reviews and check whether the critical and positive reviews are actually justified.

CriterionRemarkScore achieved*
Price / performance ratioVery good90 points
Rating cut4.5 out of 5.0 on Amazon75 points

Weighting: 15%
*The maximum score is 100 points

On the Amazon platform, customers rate the product with an average of 4.5 stars. Customers praise the good insulation and the appealing design of the play mat. The versatility and practical storage options are also positively highlighted. Occasional processing problems, the durability of the mat and cleaning the folding groove side are criticized.

Prices of up to €150 are charged on the Internet for equivalent products. Very inexpensive products are available from as little as €29 . The Sweety Fox play mat is therefore currently in the lower price segment with a price of €39.99. For the quality and performance received, the price-performance ratio is very good.
