Our smallest slips away in the tub, so I bought this mat in December 2014. Since then she feels safe. The colors and designs are great. As others wrote before me was the smell of the box to notice. But after cleaning it was disappeared. The mat fits into our bathtub, but this could be longer by about 20 cm. For our use, it is sufficient, as the smallest is never alone in the tub. The animals are cute, but the paint is, precisely, the white eyes, the hippopotamus and the crocodile from. Perhaps it is because the lion was made of a stronger material than the other animals. Over time, bubbles formed on the mat, which are not disturbing. Nevertheless, I can recommend the product.
