You should not listen to all other people's advice and unconditionally trust the opinion of friends and acquaintances. Soberly assess all the positive and negative qualities of different products, and then make the final decision.
The pluses of a floor carpet include:
- Completeness of the chosen interior image. The carpet will be very important. Using carpets in bright colors or with different patterns, you can create an accent in the interior. In such cases, the restrained colors of the walls and wallpaper will be more relevant. The color of the ceiling should not contrast strongly with the shade of the floor covering.
- Warm cover for your baby's first steps. The child will be happy to crawl on a soft carpet, and not on a cold laminate. Moving on all fours, the baby will not be able to damage the legs (even if he accidentally falls). Moving on a carpeted floor is much easier.
- Developing, the child begins to touch everything with his hands. This develops his tactile sensitivity.... Both the arms and legs become more sensitive. Contact with the carpet also carries an element of development necessary for the baby. The brighter the surface, the more it will attract the child's attention. At an early age, children often look at bright objects. This activity significantly improves mood, kids smile and laugh more often.

It is possible to highlight not only positive aspects, but also negative ones:
- Carpets collect dust strongly. All small particles end up on the soft, fleecy surface. This makes cleaning products much more difficult. The more lint a carpet has, the more difficult it is to clean. Sometimes it is easier to take such products to a professional dry cleaner than to try to clean them yourself.
- The material from which the carpet is made can cause an allergic reaction in the baby. If the child is prone to allergies, extreme caution should be exercised.
- Carefully weigh the pros and cons of carpeting in your child's room. Whether you're ready to vacuum, clean your carpet every day, or have a powerful vacuum cleaner that can handle dust and dirt with ease, you won't be afraid of cleaning. With allergies, of course, you need to be careful. It is recommended to consult a doctor. He will tell you if your child is at risk of a carpet allergy.
