You should make sure that the play mat is safe so that your baby won't get hurt when lying on it. The blanket should be thick enough, the straps should be securely fastened and you need to make sure that nothing can slip out and be swallowed.

You should also ask yourself if your baby will enjoy lying on the play blanket. Most babies are happy if the play mat is colorful and has bars or arches through which they can look through while lying on their backs. Baby play mats without crossbars or arches should be avoided, as there is nothing for the baby to look through unless he is lying on his stomach.

It is good if the play mat has dangling toys that your baby can touch. This helps develop hand-eye coordination and is also more fun to lie on. It's especially good if the toys can be removed and let baby play with them.

When looking for blankets and hanging toys, make sure they have sound or music built in. Babies love it when their toys make sounds and it helps their development.

Lastly, you can check if the play blanket will fit in your baby's playpen. You should also look for a bumper so that your baby won't get hurt when you put the play mat inside the playpen.
