Reddit mentions: The best nursery rugs

I'll be adding my Top 5 recommendations shortly!

Edit: Ok. I wasn't planning on giving recommendations but due to the new rule, here we go!

​

1. My favorite piece is probably the airplane shelf but my Aunt found it second hand somewhere. I found a similar one on Etsy: Biplane Floating Shelf | Industrial Airplane-Shaped Display Shelf | Rustic Style | Metal and Wood | Wall-Mounted
   
2. The crib was also a gift from my parents. I'm actually not a huge fan of the changing table part. It's pretty small and not very cushioned. I ended up getting another changing pad for the top of the dresser anyway. I probably could have gone with just the crib but it also turns into a toddler bed so I'll end up using it for a while. Here it is on Amazon: Delta Children Abby Convertible Crib and Changer, Grey'
   
3. My Mom got me the glider and ottoman. It's super comfy and the price isn't too bad compared to other rocking chair options. Also on Amazon: Forever Eclectic by Child Craft Cozy Glider and Ottoman, Cool Gray with Dark Gray Cushion
   
4. Something I actually purchased myself lol... the play mat. I think it's a bit overpriced but I couldn't find one like it anywhere else. I wanted something similar to the old school road map carpets but with colors that matched a little better. It's definitely not as durable as a rug but its spongy soft and it was a good addition to the room. On Amazon: MAXYOYO Play Mat for Baby Grey Area Rug Foam Play Mat Living Room Floor Mats Baby Crawling Mats Climbing Pad Nursery Rug Carpet, Village, 59 by 79 Inches
   
5. As soon as I found out we were going to have a baby I knew that I wanted a chalkboard wall! Being artistic, I thought it would be super fun to be able to draw different characters and themes as he grows. As well as him just being able to play with it himself. I don't remember what brand the chalkboard paint was. It was whatever our local Home Depot had in stock. Fair warning if you plan on doing it too is that the paint is not like normal wall paint as it is very thick. The foam brushes worked best. It is very time consuming and it may drip, which will mean you need to sand it and go over it again! I'm pretty sure it's only meant for small surfaces but I definitely wanted the whole wall lol. Here are the chalk markers I got for it: Brilliant Bee - 18 Mega Pack of Liquid Chalk Markers
   
   So yeah, a lot of what we got was gifted and then I just worked with what we had available. The dresser and chest of drawers are actually still filled with my clothes but I'll slowly be phasing my stuff out with his (once I figure out what the hell to do with my stuff haha...)

It’s adorable! Full disclosure, it’s more like a play mat than a rug.

I have them or have had them: on dad's couch, on my couch, in each of the rock and plays, bassinest, and pack and play (still haven't assembled the crib).

They keep baby warm OR cool. Because they never get chilly, you can set baby down sleeping and they won't startle awake. This is probably against the sleeping "rules" but once you have a baby you can judge for yourself. They fit so perfectly in the RNP that it made it her number one cozy/safe place to sleep for her first 8-10 weeks.

I would also have a quarto size on the floor except we have an alpaca rug for her. It is a reminder to not walk over her play area and also a designated warm/clean play spot. Alpaca was a dumb idea though because sheepskin is machine washable while alpaca is not.

Good for tummy time, just setting the baby down, etc. This is the one I have purchased many times for myself and all my baby havin' friends...you can check out the reviews for more ideas. https://www.amazon.com/dp/B000H6UXOK/ref=sr_ph_1_a_it?ie=UTF8&qid=1474766882&sr=sr-1&keywords=bowron&th=1

This is baby #2. I went budget for baby #1 because I didn't know what would work/not work. So far, I bought:

1. Merino/Cotton woven wrap: http://www.firespiralslings.co.uk/all-wraps/alchemy/released-2015-10-03-nebula-frost-starmap.html
   
   
2. Swing: http://www.toysrus.ca/product/index.jsp?productId=56144306
   
   
3. Merino Lambskin rugs: https://www.amazon.ca/Sheepskin-Natural-Hypoallergenic-Luxuriously-Lambskin/dp/B00L9HYDLU/ref=sr_1_fkmr0_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1459266319&sr=8-1-fkmr0&keywords=merino+lambskin
   
   4: Como Tomo bottles - I used mostly hand-me-down bottles last time. It was such a headache. So I decided to go with medical grade silicone.
   
   Thankfully, I bought these things slowly over the past 5 months as to not give my husband a heart attack. I also sold my beginner wrap (a Storchenwiege Leo) to help pay for the new one. And I got the swing on a ridiculous sale. Even the bottles went on special for one day (they are hard to find in Canada) so I couldn't say no.

I put a big thick rug on ours because all of our floors are tile and I would like baby to be able to do tummy time somewhere lol.
