The founders’ story
Built by parents, for parents
Jon Haley and Michael Pryor met at an ad agency in Los Angeles. Becoming parents themselves, they kept hitting the same wall: foam play mats were either ugly or unsafe. Usually both.
They built Little Landings on the conviction that families shouldn’t have to choose. Every mat has passed both founders’ standards — aesthetic and safety — before it goes on sale.
“We started this because we wanted it for our own kids, and also for our own home styles. That’s still the only filter that matters.”
