Due to the type of packaging, the product was optimally protected from external influences. Product protection was therefore fully guaranteed and the puzzle mat was delivered in perfect condition . Unfortunately, the packaging is not fully recyclable. Nevertheless, the product leaves a very good first impression.

This is what our practical test showed

The all kids United® children’s puzzle mat is a versatile and safe play and learning aid for babies and children. As a German brand manufacturer, all kids United® attaches great importance to non-toxic and harmless materials, especially during the child’s oral phase.
An outstanding feature of the puzzle mat is its thick and shock-absorbing EVA foam structure. This extra thickness not only provides a high level of comfort for the little ones, but also cushions falls and is gentle on the floor and the nerves of your neighbors. They can relax as the mat provides a safe play environment.
With its numbers and letters, the puzzle mat offers lots of play and learning opportunities. The many different animals are particularly appealing to our little test angel.
The individual pieces can be removed and reassembled, which encourages children’s creativity and motor skills. The foam plates can even be built upwards, which makes the fun even more varied .
Another advantage is the non-slip surface. The individual pieces of the puzzle mat have an anti-slip coating so that they can also be used safely on tiles or wooden floors without slipping. The mat can be used in different rooms and on different surfaces without hesitation .
Price/performance ratio
and ratings from consumers
ℹ️ Finally, we look at 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 examine consumer ratings and check whether the critical and positive reviews are actually justified.
| Criterion | Remark | Score achieved* |
|---|---|---|
| Price / performance ratio | Very good | 90 points |
| Rating cut | 4.4 out of 5.0 stars on Amazon | 70 points |
| Total | 80 points |
*The maximum score is 100 points
On the Amazon platform, consumers have given the product an average rating of 4.4 stars. One criticism is that the mat is smaller than expected and that the puzzle mat smells of foam for some people. Many customers like the many different colors, the different animals and the good price-performance ratio. We were also able to confirm the positive points in our practical test, although our mat did not smell and was the same size as described on the Amazon page.
Prices of up to €75 are charged on the Internet for equivalent products. Very inexpensive products, on the other hand, are available from as little as €22. The puzzle mat from All Kids United is therefore in the lower price segment with a current price of €29.99. Consequently, the price ratio is very good for the quality and scope of services you get.
