Can this product be used as a gym mat for kids who are into gymnastics (i.e., cartwheels, etc.)

I would personally not recommend it for a gym mat. It comes a part a lot and tends to move a lot. Also it is not so thick.

only if their professionalls, for beginners they should be doubbled. but even if not douddled they stop a lot of impact so they should not get serious damage as long as its from their jumping height which is like 1.5 to 2 feet but if they jump of furniture 3.5 feet or highter & land head first they might have trouble.

I personally don't think it's got enough cushion for a gym mat. It also would probably slide a little if you have it on hard wood or tile.

Maybe. I don't know if it is the same thickness as a gym mat. If the child was not doing aggressive tumbling and it was on carpet it might be ok. It is a little over 1/4inch thick if I remember correctly.

For older kiddos, maybe. The pieces do not lock together tightly, and lift sometimes. Could trip up young gymnasts!

Yes. Actually, the mat didn't work for me. It was too slippery and I was able to return it for a full refund.

unless your grandson likes mirrors, this mat has some use but for a limited period of time. didn't manage to get the fullest use for my daughter as she prefers the motion gym (by lamaze) see Lamaze Symphony Motion Gym, Pond (Discontinued by Manufacturer)

I use the mat for jazzercise, we don't use it for jumping but do kneel on it and do planks on it so it does have some give to it. Thicker than some I have seen.

If she is tall it might not.... But it is smaller and less expensive. However, you will want to be with her At ALL times when using the mat because it is not stable and will flip over. I bought it for my 2 year old who she first started gymnastics... She is almost 4 now and weighs 40lbs. The mat is really made to attach to another mat for security... But it has been a wonderful way for my daughter to practice skills at home. I would recommend it.

I can't answer that as I don't have kids. I use it for dead lifting so the weights don't hurt the tile. It's not too thick but it's enough to prevent 400lbs from hurting anything when I set the bar back down. It's not a padded gymnastics mat though. It's dense hard rubber.

I'm not sure because I've never tried; I keep mine in my basement gym. I'm sure you could but this mat is very heavy and awkward to carry so it may be more trouble than it's worth to roll it up and carry back inside after every use.

Depends on the number of kids I'd guess. The walls are not stable enough to really support a kid bouncing off it, the size is smaller than any commercial one I've seen, and the material used probably isn't as heavy duty as one intended for that purpose. Still for small groups or younger children(<5) I don't see why not.

I wouldn't think so, it's more of a soft material. I would definitely suggest taking an additional mat

I checked with my 10 year old granddaughter and she said yes. She's in gymnastics and was very pleased to get this. Very good quality. I would recommend this.

Yes. I returned mine, because it was too sort for my exercise bike. But, it is a good mat.

I use this puzzle mat in combination with a no skid under-carpet mat. If you just use the puzzle mat on its own it will still slip around. The mat is mostly useful for its padding. It's pretty thick.

Yes you can clip it on the baby's gym mat. for similar toys car seat: I will recommand monkey animal of the jungle Fisher Price, or Fisher-Price Discover n Grow Musical Monkey

I would hope you would get the actual mat. I used mine for a treadmill and it is a wonderful mat. I have not had any trouble out of mine and I would order it again.

I'm not sure it would work. The main issue I see is that it may not stick well to the back of the mat. They are inexpensive so it might be with the try.

Yes it is.. My daughter used it from 3 months until she turned 6 months and then started to crawl outside the carpet. She didn't find the toys on the mat very attractive but we mainly used it to cushion the hardfloor. Hope this helps!
