Product Description Embedded Suction Cups The Busy Baby Mat has a powerful suction cup in each corner embedded into the attachment point on top of the mat. When you press down on the ergonomic attachment points, you ensure a tight suction seal! These suckers stick really, really well on any smooth, flat, clean surface. Installing the Tethers The end of the tether that has the 'squiggles' is intended to connect to the mat. The squiggles help absorb some of the pull when baby plays so the suction doesn't break so easily. Connect Toys and Teethers The end of your tether that has three holes is customizable to fit through or around most of baby's toys. Simply wrap the ball end through or around a toy, pacifier, or sippy cup handle, and press it through one of the holes in the tether.
