Large Cala / Little Explorer Play Mat *NEW*

Australia’s multi-award winning soft foam baby padded play mats.

The Cala Play Mat is a refined artistic creation. The neutral beige color scheme, accented with light brown stripes, provides a gentle backdrop for the intricate design. The choice of brown nautical lines evokes a warm, coastal feel. Featuring a modern twist on a classic stripe, this mat adds a delightful touch of contrast and shape. We've taken a timeless, simple pattern and given it an elegant update with a beach-inspired look and impeccable presentation.

The NEW Little Explorer on the reversed side...

And when we say “safe play without compromise” we mean it! Compromising goes both ways. So, we have crafted a stylish side that respects parents, and when you flip the play (!!) mat over, you will treasure a neutral, fun, minimal and playful map for the whole family to enjoy, where your imagination and creativity can come out. We call this side "The Little Explorer". Please read all about the Little Trooper's minimal design here.

An incredibly plush, safe & durable play mat for the whole family to enjoy for years. As we endeavour to bring the finest quality, skill and artistry to every play mat we offer, rest assured that we have meticulously designed every aspect of this play mat to ensure you get the best in the market.

Our play mats can’t be beaten.

Please note actual colours may vary. It’s important to note that they may look different on a real product than what you see on your computer monitor. This is because every computer monitor has a different capability to display colours and that everyone sees these colours differently. We try to edit our photos to show the products as life-like as possible, also adding a large variety of photos for each product.

Every Rugabub Play Mat undergoes manual printing, resulting in a unique repeat pattern for each mat. Therefore, if you buy multiple play mats, they are unlikely to match perfectly. Nonetheless, they still complement each other beautifully when placed side by side.

Our luxe foam padded baby play mats are made out of premium quality memory foam. As such, after unboxing your Rugabub play mat, it may need some time to relax, settle, and adjust to its designed form. We recommend unboxing and allowing the mat to settle as soon as you receive it, as leaving it rolled in the box for too long may cause it to retain its rolled shape for longer due to the premium memory foam material. You can speed up the settling process by rolling the play mat in the opposite direction, re-strapping, and placing it back into the box for a night or two.

Rugabub play mats come with 2 velcro straps. Ensure you hold on to them as they are so convenient for moving, storing or transporting. 

Wipe clean with a soapy cloth or mild detergent and let dry before flipping over.

Make sure that the play mat is on a dry surface.

Avoid the use of harsh detergents, oils (such as citrus, eucalyptus and essential oils), alcohol, bleach or grainy cleaners (such as Jif or Gumption) as they may discolour, fade or cause damage to the top coating. Some other natural spray agents can damage your play mat too. 

We suggest cleaning the play mat with a mild detergent that is not alcoholic or acidic (including wet wipes). 

All spills must be wiped clean immediately including poop, vomit & urine as they may cause stains and even fade due to the acidity.

Overtime, you may notice minor discolouring of the play mats. Sunlight, improper cleaning and exposure to high temperatures are the main causes. 

Our play mats are intended to be used on a smooth surface. Sharp objects may puncture, tear or graze the outer layer. 

Heavy objects are not to be placed on the play mat for long periods of time, as they will cause irreparable damage. 

Pens, crayons, permanent markers, paints and textas can easily permanently mark the play mat and need to be avoided. 

Avoid hot properties such as heaters, fire-places, hot liquid etc… 

Our play mats are intended for indoor use, however, should all precautions be met, and for short periods of time, they can also be enjoyed outdoors. Please make sure you choose a shaded and protected spot with a smooth surface. 

We love all furry friends big and small, however pets can cause damage with sharp claws and teeth. 

Avoid steam cleaning.

Avoid vacuuming.

Our play mats are made without any toxic plasticisers and chemical/colour stabilisers. The heat-sealing process may cause a slight discolouring of the outer edges of the play mat. This is not a fault but a feature of the premium quality and material that we use. 

Warranty is invalid if the faults are caused by improper use of the play mats or failure to respect the cleaning and care instructions. 

Please let dry after wiping clean, as this can cause a slip hazard.  

Please allow the play mat to flatten as suggested above to avoid a trip hazard.

Rugabub play mats were made to help parents find the safest, durable and most stylish and eco-friendly play mats available.

This is the reason Rugabub Play Mats come with a 6-month warranty. Warranty does not cover any damage caused by incorrect use (please read our Play Mat Care Guide carefully) or general wear and tear.

Please note: Some of the lighter coloured play mats have a slight yellow/brown colour around the edges. This occurs from the heat-sealing process. It is not a fault. Rugabub Play Mats are designed to look stylish and chic and have a faded or distressed effect added to them so that they look like rugs. This is part of the design and is not a fault. Also note, that each repeat is not digitally printed, however manually printed! This means that colours in each repeat may vary. Not only do we care about you and your child’s safety, but also the environment. Proudly, Rugabub Play Mats are made from eco-friendly & biodegradable materials that will break down over-time. We have eliminated all harsh, & toxic preserving chemicals (like PVC) from our play mats, which may lead to slight yellow discolouration over-time, which is more pronounced around the outer edges. To prolong the life of your play mat, we recommend reading and following our Play Mat Care Guide. We care about our own children, and the world that we leave behind for them, which is the reason for the highly sustainable products we offer and would want to ensure that our customers are aware of this before purchasing any of our play mats.

The warranty is invalid however, if the faults are caused by improper use of the play mat or failure to respect the cleaning and care instructions. Please click here to read The Play Mat Care Guide.
