Lay-N-Go Activity Mat- Perfect for those who need toys cleaned up easier!

Toys all over! Small pieces all over your living room floor! Can you relate? For me, I just go about crazy when I enter my living room. Now that Hayley is 3 and Zane is 1, I really need to keep the small pieces apart from my crazy Zane who likes to put everything in his mouth. It is a real challenge trying to find where to put these small pieces. Thankfully for me, something new was invented on the market: the  Lay-N-Go mat. It is much more than at a mat as you will see…



What the Lay-N-Go is simply a 5 foot activity mat that is used for cleanup, storage, and carryall solution all in one. The inventor of the Lay-N-Go, Amy, is a mom of three who was struggling with her boys legos scrambled all over the floor. She wanted a way to keep all her kids legos and other small toys together, so she invented the Lay-N-Go. It was invented for an easier solution to clean, contain and manage the chaos that all the toys created. The concept is ingenious!

From the Lay-N-Go website:

Lay-n-Go® (patent pending) is a 5 foot diameter activity mat that converts into an easily transportable shoulder satchel allowing for quick and effortless clean-up of small toy pieces.  Toy collections used on the Lay-n-Go surface are easily spread out (no dumping needed) for hours of fun. Once playtime is over, the drawstring is pulled and the activity mat is converted back into a completely sealed soft storage bag.  Lay-n-Go is a smart and easy activity mat, cleanup, storage and carry-all solution in one.
  • Shell:  420 Denier Poly to last for generations
  • Lining: 100% Nylon which is confortable to play on for hours yet provides a tough and water repellent wipeable surface
  • Available in blue, green or pink nylon
  • Four mesh 7”x 6” pockets on the playside surface provide a great way to stash and organize the most valued mini-figures or extra special pieces
  • Durable nylon cord and cord lock provide an easy opening and closing system which keeps toys securely inside
  • A velcroed front storage pocket provides a place to stow the drawstring when closing or carrying the bag
  • Wide nylon shoulder strap adds both comfort and convenience for carrying


I am in love with the Lay-N-Go. Hayley and I now put all her small toys in the Lay-N-Go, so it can be away from her little brother. She also needs to bring her toys to her friends when she has play dates, and the Lay-N-Go makes it so easy! It is quite simple to open the the mat by way of the drawstring included with the product. Once you open it, put your  toys in, squeeze, and voila, you are done. It is transported to an small bag for transporting purposes. You can bring all your kids toys with you, when you are on the go. Alternatively, you can also use it as storage when you are at home. 

This Lay-N-Go came at a perfect time because we are traveling to Hawaii soon and I didn’t want to bring another wheeled luggage piece with me. Hayley and I are so excited to bring all her toys in her Lay-N-Go. We can then open it up in Hawaii and she will have all her toys available to her.


For those moms/dads out there, who are tired of all the toys and want an easier storage unit, why not try the Lay-N-Go mat. You will be so happy you did, as it is a unit that is so versatile. Cleanup, Storage, and Carryall solution all in one… What are you waiting for? To purchase the Lay-N-Go, check out their website at Lay-N-Go.
