A practical, step-by-step guide to fitting the Ivy Add On Mat to your Ivy 3-in-1 and keeping it clean through daily play, tummy time, and every stage in between.
Quick answer
Fit the Ivy Add On Mat by laying it flat over the Ivy 3-in-1 Bouncer, Gym & Activity Table surface, smoothing out any folds, and wiping it clean after each use with a damp cloth. Check the edges stay flush so your little one has a stable, supportive landing for tummy time and play.
Why the mat is an add-on, not a replacement
The Ivy Add On Mat is designed specifically for the Ivy 3-in-1 Bouncer, Gym & Activity Table, and the Ivy is sold separately. That means the mat is a soft landing layer you add to the existing Ivy surface, not a standalone play mat. If you are still deciding whether you need it, think about how often your child uses the Ivy for tummy time or floor play. The mat adds a cushioned, supportive surface for those moments, and it is easy to wipe clean and quick to set up.
Because the catalog does not list separate dimensions, thickness, or material specifications for the mat, treat fit as a visual check rather than a measurement exercise. The mat is cut to suit the Ivy, so the main fitting concern is alignment and a flat, fold-free surface.
When to skip the mat
If your child mostly uses the Ivy as a bouncer or activity table and rarely spends time on the base surface, the mat may see little use. It is also not a substitute for adult supervision or for a padded floor area beyond the Ivy footprint. The mat is a comfort and easy-clean layer for the Ivy itself, so buy it for that job rather than as a general-purpose play mat.
Fitting and care steps
- Set up the Ivy first: Assemble the Ivy 3-in-1 Bouncer, Gym & Activity Table in the configuration your child is using, and make sure the base surface is clear of toys, crumbs, or loose parts. The mat is sold separately, so confirm the Ivy is in place before you unroll or unfold the mat. A clean, fully assembled Ivy base prevents bumps and folds under the mat.
- Lay the mat flat and align the edges: Place the Ivy Add On Mat over the Ivy surface and press from the center outward, smoothing any ripples toward the edges. Check that the mat sits flush and does not overhang or bunch at the sides. If an edge lifts, lift the mat and reset it rather than taping or trimming it.
- Do a hand-press check: Run your palm across the whole mat, especially the corners and the area where your child will sit or lie. The mat should feel flat and stable with no trapped toys or fabric underneath. Any lump or wrinkle is a checkpoint to reset before use.
- Wipe clean after each use: Wipe the mat with a damp cloth after play, and use a mild soap only if needed, then wipe again with a clean damp cloth. Avoid soaking the mat or using harsh cleaners, since the catalog does not specify material-safe chemicals. A quick wipe now prevents sticky buildup that is harder to remove later.
- Dry fully before the next session: Let the mat air-dry completely before placing your child on it or folding it away. If the mat is still damp, leave it flat rather than stacking it against the Ivy frame. Damp storage is the most common cause of odors and surface wear.
- Store flat or loosely rolled: When the Ivy is not in use, store the mat flat or loosely rolled in a dry spot. Avoid heavy objects on top of it, which can leave permanent creases. Check for creases at the next setup and smooth them out before play.
