Recommendation for artifical grass for small backyard that is kid friendly?

We have a small backyard in Albany and would like to put in artificial grass that is good for a toddler.  It is only about 330 sq feet.  Does anyone have any recommendations of good artificial lawn brands and/or installers?  Many thanks

While I do not have a recommendation I do have a caution.  We purchased a house with artificial grass in the back.  Ours is not shaded and it is too hot walk or sit on during sunny afternoons.  It also has little black rubber pebbles that come up (which for a toddler is probably okay but not for a baby who crawls around putting everything in its mouth).  

While it looks pretty good, is zero maintenance, and saves lots of water, I plan to replace it with a smaller area of real grass so my kids can have a cooler place to sit and run barefoot during hot summer days.
