We started between 4-6 weeks but he didn't like it much. He is just now starting to find it interesting (he is 8 weeks old now). I think it has to do with their distance vision, my LO is now able to focus on colors and sounds and stuff.
I was using ours at that point. He would lay there and look at the toys and I would move them and make them make noise. Eventually he started playing with them himself.... Try it and see! If anything it gives you sometime to play where you aren't holding him...I little break for you...
We have had ours out since LO was about 3 weeks or so, but she would always fuss once set on it. At about 8-9 weeks she was able to look up at the objects on the mat and giggle at them. We also put her on the Boppy on the mat for tummy time.

Around 2 to 3 weeks but he only started being really interested in it this past week or so. Where as before he just lay there, now he looks at the lights and mirror and kicks and bats the things hanging down.

Re: When did you start using the playmat?
this, but we started at 3.5 weeks.
Same here. She also spends time on her back staring at the dangly things closest to her.
