About this deal

This blanket is slightly bulkier than others we tested, making it harder to get into the included carrier

Some picnic blankets are more portable than others. Many options come with their own carrying bags, some with handles attached like the Down Under Outdoors Blanket, while others have velcro strips and attached straps — no bag needed. As mentioned, larger blankets often don't fold up as compactly, so keep this in mind if yours doesn't come with a carrying bag. Some picnic blankets offer size options, but many do not. First step: think about how many people you can usually expect to use this blanket. Anything 60" x 60" and smaller is only suitable for two adults or up to four small children. If you're looking for a blanket that'll fit the whole family, you should opt for one that's at least 70" x 70" or prepare to get two blankets to lay side by side. Price Michelle of www.whatmummythinks.co.uk swears by her Family Picnic Blanket from the Great Little trading Company. This is one of the more affordable options we tried, so considering its weather-resistant, low-maintenance design, we'd recommend it to families with kids or couples looking for a date night picnic blanket. But we don't stop there: We also regularly re-review the categories in which we've awarded the PEOPLE Tested seal of approval — because the best product of today might not be the best of tomorrow. And by the way, companies can never buy our recommendation: Their products must earn it, fair and square.

Emma of www.fuelledbylatte.com is really impressed with her new Outdoor Reversible Picnic Blanket from TK Maxx. In addition to keeping you dry while sitting on the ground, these weather-ready materials help prevent wine, juice, and other spilled drinks from soaking through and won't harbor dirt, crumbs, and other dry debris. And some options are reversible, meaning both sides are water-resistant (take the Roebury Outdoor Picnic Blanket, for example). Introducing the ultra-compact but oh-so-roomy ClicMat from oimmie. Made from eco-friendly materials, it’s like a huggable cloud of cuteness. With an attachable smooth zinc alloy clip and detachable anchors, we found it the perfect companion for any adventure. Plus, it’s a breeze to clean.

Our only wish was that it were a little bigger, because at five by five feet, we could really only fit one to two people on it (and that’s just sitting, not laying down). However, this could be a great option for smaller children or a parent with kids. For its convenient portability, soft fleece, durability, and budget-friendly price, we’re pretty thrilled with this on-the-go picnic blanket. The flip side of having a blanket that's so lightweight and breathable is that it doesn't stand up to rough terrain very well. Make no doubt about it: This is not the blanket you want for a picnic in the woods. But for everyday use in the park, on the ball field, or at the beach, it should be just fine. While we love the fleece top layer on this blanket, it is a bit of a double-edged sword. The fabric isn't waterproof, so we'd advise opting for something else if you've got kids or pets on the move while on your picnic. It's also on the smaller side, coming in at just 59" x 69".After this, we lounged, stretching out on the length of the blankets to see if they could fit our whole bodies comfortably, or if we started to touch the ground (which we would not want on potentially wet terrains). Then, we tested the polyester side's waterproof abilities, dumping water and grape juice onto the surface to see if it soaked up or stained. To take it an extra step further, we got a bit of sand on it too, just to see how much (or little) each fabric would hold on to the granules as we shook them out, as if we were leaving the beach after a long day on the shoreline. Look for waterproof or water-resistance features to prevent moisture seeping through, an easy-clean composition and a fab design you’ll spot in a crowd. Also, make sure the blanket is the right size for your family – because no one likes ending up on the grass. Can you wash a picnic blanket? For starters, the ZAZE picnic blanket is massive — a whopping 80" x 80". That should be plenty of room for four adults to sit or six to eight kids, with food included, of course. It also features a three-ply construction. The bottom layer is waterproof, so you'll never have to worry about pesky dew for an early morning sit. The middle layer is a comfortable cotton that adds a bit of padding, and the top layer is polyester, which also acts as a water-resistant surface, so there's no need to worry about spills. We were also super impressed with the stitching on this blanket. Almost quilt-like, the stitching ensures that this blanket will stand the test of time. Of course, portability is also a huge factor when it comes to picnic blankets, and this one delivers. It conveniently rolls up with a Velcro closure that reviewers say is quite sturdy. Reviewers also mention that this blanket is perfect for just about anywhere, from sandy beaches to picnics in the park. Emma from readyfreddiego.com loves the Vertbaudet Outdoor Rug (which can be used indoors as well as outdoors!).
