A crawling pad is an accessory that helps the baby explore in a comfortable and safe area. Especially from 5-6 months onwards when babies start working on rolling, turning, and crawling, a soft surface becomes important. It cushions falls better than a hard surface, protects from cold, and provides a sense of defined space.
The prevailing pediatric opinion is that there are points to be careful about when using a crawling pad: the pad shouldn't be too soft or thick (the baby may have difficulty finding balance), the baby shouldn't be left alone on it, and it should be cleaned regularly. Also, having a non-slip bottom on the pad is beneficial for safety.
In short: it can be used, but on a hard surface or over a blanket, the baby can have the same developmental experience. A pad is not a necessity but a matter of comfort and convenience.
