Pampers Care Mats > Reviews

Advantages: quick and easy, light
Disadvantages: expenisive, don't last as long as they say

When I registered with the pampers website I was sent some vouchers for nappies and also for a pack of care mats. The voucher entitled me to 50p off a pack of twelve care mats. The price of the care mats put me off a bit but the a mixture of the voucher and also the fact that pampers claim that they are reusable upto 100 changes made me buy them. Packaging ********* The care mats come in a green plastic packet rather like pampers nappies do. ... Read review

Advantages: a little protection
Disadvantages: exepensive and rubbish for babies

I brought a packet of pampers care mats when I was booked in to the hospital to have my baby 6 weeks ago. The reason I got these was to protect my bed when I was bleeding after the birth. The changing mats are square in shape and the top of the mat is slightly padded with diagonal shapes. the back of the mats have some blue writing saying pampers change mats place this side down and various coloured pitchers. The size of each mat is 60 x 60 cm. The ... Read review

Advantages: Soft; small to carry around
Disadvantages: Quite thin; pricey

Pampers Change Mats are 60 x 60 cms in size. The side that is placed next to the surface is made from plastic and will, therefore, prevent any leaks from going through the mat. The side on which you place baby is soft and slightly padded. To be honest, I'm not sure if the mats would slide around or move, particularly if baby was wriggling / kicking. The change mats are very thin. Personally, I see this as being both a good and a bad point. The ... Read review

Advantages: Ease of use, Conveniently Disposable
Disadvantages: Expensive, Environmental impact probably high

Pamper's care mats - just what the doctor ordered! (despite their high cost) Maybe I'm a poor parent, maybe I'm lazy, or maybe I'm not thinking enough about the environment....but I couldn't do without Pamper's Care mats. Not for me, you understand, for the children! I am the (usually) proud father of two girls, Verity (4 1/2) and Annabelle (3). They are both (and have been for quite some time) potty trained, but night-time is a different story. ... Read review

Advantages: I cant think of any
Disadvantages: Expensive, bad for the environment and not necessary

What is the point of Pampers Care Mats? The only answer that I can find to that it to increase Pampers sales. Launched on the market a year ago these items are quite expensively priced and the idea is that you use them as changing mats etc for your baby. I have a baby but have never been tempted to buy these things. I use a terry nappy to lay on top of her plastic changing mat when we are at home and when we are out and about I have a small ...

Advantages: Protect the bed well.
Disadvantages: Quite expensive.

Pampers Care Mats are rectangular sheets with absorbent padding all over them and a plastic back. I suppose they compare to an opened out toweling nappy really. They are produced by Pampers and the suggested uses include for changing your baby, putting down to stop mess on the floor and putting on the bed for bedwetting children. Other than the last point I cannot really see the use of them. However, they are worth getting if your child does indeed ... Read review

Advantages: ideal for parents who need a gimmick
Disadvantages: there is no true purpose for this product

...a free sample of a Pampers Care Mat when my daughter (now 5 years old) was about a year old. I had no idea what to do with it, but I thought it might come in handy sometime so put it away with the other nappy-changing paraphanalia. I never used it to lie her on whilst changing - I used a changing mat for that; I never used it to lie her on whilst playing/rolling - none but the tiniest babies play in the one spot; I never used it while potty training ...

Advantages: Many uses & convenient
Disadvantages: Expensive

I like to try new products and thought I would give these a go. The care mats are quite a good size and have a soft top layer with a waterproof backing (with a teddy print all over). They are very lightweight and easy to add a couple to your babies changing bag as an alternative changing mat. I initially used them to lay my baby on for some "nappy off" time happy in the knowledge that my carpets would not be soiled in the event of any accidents! ... Read review

Advantages: protects the mattress
Disadvantages: expensive, not available everywhere

My son has special needs, and still wears nappies at age 10. Sometimes there's an 'overflow' during the night, and the bed mats are wonderful at protecting the mattress (from smells as well as from damp). It's especially useful in the winter or wet weather when it would be almost impossible to get the mattress dried and aired for next bedtime. Okay, they're not especially environmentally friendly and they are expensive, but I have so many other issues ... Read review

Advantages: NONE THAT I CAN SEE
Disadvantages: Everything

Pampers care mats, I thought they were just for those paranoid parents who couldn't possibly change poor baby kins in a public bathroom or bench. Whats wrong with a towel? I digress, these are in fact bed incontince pads for kids I am quite shocked. what's wrong with a plastic matress protector and even a smaller sheet as a draw sheet would be better. what do you do if they god-forbid, miss the mat and pee on the sheet? wet beds are as much a part ...
