Skip Hop Baby Infant & Toddler Central Park Waterproof Convertible Outdoor Blanket & Detachable Cooler Bag, Multi Triangles

I bought 2 of these as new baby presents as something a little different from the usual. They will be useful for the mothers for a number of years. They are great at the beach, the backyard, for picnics - any place you want to lay the baby down, or want to sit with a toddler or two. They shake clean of sand and dirt, and can be hosed off. They fold up small and can be kept in the car or the stroller. I bought one when my first granddaughter was born and I am still using it with her at 6 -- as well as my 4 other grandchildren. I find these blankets incredibly useful!

Love this mat. It's easy to clean, easy to stow and easy to carry. The carrying strap is adjustable so you can fling it over the bod ass a cross-carry while you schlep the kid and the ten thousand items you're taking on the road with you. It is padded and comfortable. One wide adult, an average width adult and a 6 month old were able to lie shoulder-to-shoulder on the this mat, though the adult legs dangled off the end. It's perfect for picnics our outings, on grass, sand... whatever. I love everything about this, though I'd like to see it a bit longer. Excellent product, and cute, too (although let's face it, the ubiquitous "gray and white chevron" is getting a little old... amirite?).

This "blanket" is great! I was looking for something that would be easy to clean and pack up, and this fits the bill. The material is easy to clean, a quick wipe down is all it needs. After using it a few times, I can happily report that it is easy to fold and zip up again. I have not used the cooler pocket. It easily fits in the bottom of a stroller or in a backpack. I would not suggest packing this in a purse-type diaper bag though, as it can be a bit bulky for that.

This blanket is good for the beach or the park. It is convenient to take with you since it folds up and has a shoulder strap. It is the same material as their changing pad so spills and sand wipe right off. The cooler isn't very big, especially once you put in an ice pack or two. Certainly not big enough for a day at the beach, but would be useful for a few things. I managed to fit in multiple bags and two bottles of breast milk, which stayed cool.

I received The wrong product. I bought a Skip Hop product (blanket) and I received a JJ COLE product (blanket), I do not even know where it comes from. I had a special reason to choose Skip hop. Veeeeeery unhappy.

I ordered this when planning a picnic for my husband over Valentine's Day weekend. I really like the chevron pattern and neutral colors, and it is easy to pack up. However, while the material is waterproof, it's not soft or comfortable, and it reminds me of heavy duty tarp that crackles whenever I shift around on it. Plus, the size is too small for two adults to lay out on. I had also bought the 5x7' JJ Cole blanket at the same time, and I like that much more because the material's a lot softer and the larger size is great. So I've decided to return the Skip Hop one.

I like the product in general. Bag is very compact and useful, and blanket folds well and is a nice material. Unfortunately, I can only give it three stars because my bag has already begun to unravel and a hole is forming near the zipper. I might expect this of a lesser quality item at a cheaper price point, but for 30+ bucks this should hold up to normal use - as I have actually only used the bag a handful of times and it has never been with heavy items.

I love this item. A friend of mine let me borrow hers, and that was it. I had to have my own. The blanket is not huge, but it is big enough. It is heavy enough that it won't blow away (I have the monkey mat which is nice and big, but blows away easily), but light enough to carry around attached to the bag without being too heavy. The fabric is easy to wipe away liquids, but doesn't feel like plastic. I can't recommend this enough. I keep it in my car for when we are out and about.
