What the AI looks for in Nursery Rugs
- Washability
- Check that the rug is machine-washable at the size you need, and whether it fits a home washer. Nursery rugs get spills, spit-up and accidents.
- Non-slip
- Use a rug pad or built-in grip on hard floors. A sliding rug is a fall hazard for a parent carrying a baby at night.
- Pile
- Low-to-medium pile, with no long shag. Shag traps crumbs and small objects and makes crawling and toy rolling harder.
Brands that matter
- Lorena Canals: Machine-washable cotton kids' rugs.
- Ruggable: Washable rug covers with a separate pad.
What to avoid
- Heavy-shedding wool shag in a crawling baby's room.
- Rugs without a pad on hardwood or tile.
