It features a church, barns, school, factory, petrol station and houses, As well as a lake, railway track, car parking, zebra crossing, roundabout and road signals.
I find this a good mix, although the buildings themselves aren’t very big in comparison to the amount of field.
- The colours in this rug are bright, with primaries red, blue, yellow. Other colours are green and brown. If this was a limited palette and print process, these colours could be made by overlapping the 3 primary colours in different ways.
- The perspectives are all different, so that when the child is facing different ways, the buildings follow. It makes it more interesting that the buildings all facing one way.
- The reviews all seem positive, stating that it’s bigger that what they expected and comfortable for playing on wooden floors. One lady, Annie from Cornwall, stated that although the colours are brights, “I was very disappointed to find out on christmas day it has a continental layout and not British ie roundabout markings and road junctions on wrong side of road thus teaching him how to use it becomes difficult as it is not what he sees when out with us in the car. “.
- A lot of the customer reviews state that it is or will be a christmas present.

On Toys R us website, there is only one image available and none featuring the child to show size comparison.

There are very few buildings featured on here, but this mat does feature a background if skyscrapers, which changes the viewing.
The large logos I find off putting, and looking at the roads, some of them spiral into themselves which will cause terrific accidents. There also seems to be some young unattended children featured which doesn’t promote road safety.

Overall I’m not impressed with this mat, although out of 11 reviews, 90% would recommend this to a friend.
