Instead of the yellow, I chose white. :)</p> <p>Will it clash?? Yes... But we'll use it beyond our use of the play yard.. </p> [attach=3082/13/mrah3p.600x417.image.jpg] https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/help-which-play-mat#post-1004164 Fri, 09 Aug 2013 12:38:34 +0000 LaineysMom 1004164@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@T-Mom: thanks for letting me know! I bought it off of CL for a pretty good price. I cleaned it off yesterday and now I just need a mat. DD is 10 mo. and falls everywhere! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/help-which-play-mat#post-1003113 Fri, 09 Aug 2013 07:21:35 +0000 T-Mom 1003113@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I voted soft tiles in blue combo but just wanted to add that I have an earlier version of this play yard and its held up so well and I plan to resell it since its in such great shape. We still have it up and DS is almost 2 and he loves to play in it. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/help-which-play-mat#post-1002757 Fri, 09 Aug 2013 00:40:43 +0000 LaineysMom 1002757@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrs. High Heels: it's a custom combo.. The only standard ones are the ones at the bottom of the page with the little "buy now" button by them.. If I could buy the black, white and gray one now I would, but I figure if I need to order custom anyway I might as well get whatever colors I want. :happy: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/help-which-play-mat#post-1002752 Fri, 09 Aug 2013 00:34:48 +0000 Mrs. High Heels 1002752@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@LaineysMom: Yea, that's what I was thinking too. I really like the black, gray, and white one.... it'll match everything and stay subtle in the background long after the playard is gone!</p> <p>I couldn't find the purple, white, and gray one you've been referencing, though that color combo sounds really nice too. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/help-which-play-mat#post-1002749 Fri, 09 Aug 2013 00:31:55 +0000 LaineysMom 1002749@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrs. High Heels: they're both custom! I'm highly considering the black, gray and white one... I want something that ill want to keep after we ditch the play yard.. Ya know? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/help-which-play-mat#post-1002741 Fri, 09 Aug 2013 00:25:45 +0000 Mrs. High Heels 1002741@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@LaineysMom: True, the children's factory mat would match better with your playard, but it looks really soft/squishy to me. I think I'd prefer something firmer for a playmat, but that's just me. </p> <p>My vote still goes to the softiles! What about the softiles with the safari animals in red, blue, &amp; white... or the one with black, gray, &amp; white? I really like the die-cut circle style ones too - <a href="http://www.softtiles.com/index.php?option=com_virtuemart&#038;Itemid=121" rel="nofollow">http://www.softtiles.com/index.php?option=com_virtuemart&#038;Itemid=121</a></p> <p>@mamabear57: I agree. I cringed when I first saw it, but it grew on me and now it doesn't look so bad. DD loves it too. We use the alphabet side. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/help-which-play-mat#post-1002727 Fri, 09 Aug 2013 00:17:46 +0000 LaineysMom 1002727@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrs. High Heels: thank you for the recommendation! That mat looks really cute, but I think I want something more simple since the play yard is so loud.</p> <p> I think the soft tiles are really nice, but I think all of the standard color options (except the black, white and blue) would clash horribly with the play yard.. Purple, grey and white may clash too, but at least it would be pretty. Haha. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/help-which-play-mat#post-1002722 Fri, 09 Aug 2013 00:14:14 +0000 teamjse 1002722@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrs. High Heels: we have the same mat. I think it's an eye sore but Ds loves it. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/help-which-play-mat#post-1002715 Fri, 09 Aug 2013 00:04:27 +0000 Mrs. High Heels 1002715@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@LaineysMom: this wasn't one of your options, but thought i'd throw it out there since we love ours and it's cheaper than what you have linked - <a href="http://www.amazon.com/Baby-Care-Play-Mat-Friends/dp/B0058K5IIQ/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&#038;qid=1376024641&#038;sr=8-1&#038;keywords=pingko+playmat" rel="nofollow">http://www.amazon.com/Baby-Care-Play-Mat-Friends/dp/B0058K5IIQ/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&#038;qid=1376024641&#038;sr=8-1&#038;keywords=pingko+playmat</a></p> <p>Eta: out of the options you have, I'd go with the softiles.
