Is this mat thick enough for a baby learning to sit?

It is thin, so it suits crawling and tummy time better than sitting practice. Add a blanket or foam layer under it if your baby is still toppling over.

Can it be machine washed?

Yes, it is listed as machine washable. Use a gentle cycle and air dry to avoid warping the panels.

How does it compare with foam play tiles?

It folds into one piece and is easier to store than loose tiles. Foam tiles are usually thicker and softer but come apart and are harder to clean.

Does it work on carpet?

It lies flat on low-pile carpet but can shift on plush carpet. On hard floors the panels stay put better.

What is included with the mat?

The mat itself; it is a single folding piece with no carry bag or tiles included.

Our take on the HDJ Foldable Baby Play Mat 50in x 50in

The HDJ Foldable Baby Play Mat is a 50 by 50 inch square floor mat that folds into panels for storage and travel. It is aimed at crawling babies and tummy time, and the machine-washable surface is meant to handle spills and messes. Against foam tiles and padded quilt mats, it wins on portability and cleaning but offers less cushioning than thick one-piece foam. Its 3.6 out of 5 rating from 26 buyers suggests a mixed reception, with complaints centered on thin padding and fold seams.
