A hidden switch beneath the rug lets parents choose between two modes, and JoyCarpet is battery powered to avoid children getting tangled on wires.
The rug is made of soft blanket material on top of an LED light panel, which sits above a sensor and soundboard.
Mode 1 is designed for babies who are learning to crawl and a flashing light appears on the rug to encourage the child to move towards it.
When the child hits the light, a short musical noise plays. The flashing light then moves to another part of the rug.
In the second mode, which was designed for more competent crawlers, the light moves away as the child approaches it.
