Abstract: The present invention is an infant play mat. This play is designed so that it is light-weight and easily portable. One embodiment of the play mat includes a cushioned base, a hub, a tension control device, a plurality of cords and four supports. Each support may be detachably coupled to a height extension member that is detachably coupled to the base. The height extension members allow the height of the supports relative to the base to be increased or decreased so that the mat can accommodate infants of various sizes and ages. The tension control device can be adjusted to increase or decrease the tension in the cords so that the supports are detachably coupled to or detached from the hub. The play mat can be easily dissembled by detaching the supports and/or height extension members from the base so that they can be placed into a carrying case.
