Lovevery offers a carefully curated toybox for infants that is safe and educational. They offer a play-gym, sensory strands for babies, a stroller for friends and more.

The toys are Montessori inspired and designed to meet specific developmental milestones. They make use of non-toxic materials like organic cotton, and sustainably sourced wooden.

The subscription costs either $80 (0-12 month old) or $120 (1-3 years old). Subscribers can also get an unpaid return label.

Pros of playing with lovevery kits

I love that Lovevery provides your baby with toys that have been scientifically tested by Lovevery to aid in their development. I also appreciate that the toys are safe, non-toxic, well-made and safe. This is crucial for me because there are a lot of plastic toys and toys of poor quality.

Each box is created to meet a specific developmental stage and it’s easy to locate one that is appropriate for your child’s age. They also have a shop which allows you to purchase individual toys separately. It is also easy to switch Play Kits for a preemie infant who is on a different developmental timeline, and their Disability Support Specialists are available to work with you in a one-on-one manner.

The only downside is that the cost can be high, especially when you’re signing up for an annual subscription. However, Monness notes that “if it helps you take the guesswork out of picking the right toys for children and helps create a more positive environment, then it’s well worth the investment.” Subscription boxes can also be great gifts for grandparents or new parents!

Cons

Lovevery manufactures toys designed to meet children’s development requirements for their age. Their toys are designed based on feedback from parents and interviews with experts on child development. They collaborate alongside academics who study baby brain development psychologists, Montessori teachers and occupational therapists to create their toys.

They offer a monthly subscription for their play kits, and offer a selection of toys as stand-alone products. You can see the contents of the kit prior to buying it, and cancel your subscription at any time.

The subscriptions for the toys can be a bit pricey, but they take the guesswork and research out of finding toys that are age-appropriate for your toddler. These subscriptions are also a wonderful gift for grandparents and other family members who wish to provide the best possible opportunities for the development and growth of children.

Lovevery’s toys are aesthetically-pleasing, which is a plus in a toy market full of plastic and tacky-looking products. The toys are also made with sustainability and non-toxic finishes in mind.

Bottom Line

Lovevery toys look stunning on stunningly curated book shelves or in your Instagram feed. They are beautiful constructed (many are made of wood) and aren’t offensive to adults’ eyes.

The thoughtfully designed play kits are a great option for parents looking to give their toddlers educational toys that also look pretty as well. The ‘Bunnies in a Felt Burrow’ toy, for example, helps improve bilateral coordination by encouraging Henry to use one hand to look inside the burrow and the other hand to take the bunnies out.

The only downside to these toys is that they’re made in China. Although the company does have a few choices for subscriptions, including the option of skipping one of the kits, once you prepay for a 6-kit or 3-kit bundle you can’t return or cancel each item in your box. If you’re able to make it through that, the monthly supply of holistic entertainment for your toddler is worth every penny.

Final Words

A Lovevery subscription is when a box of toys arrives at your door every 2 to 3 months. They’re specifically designed to help toddlers stay where they are developmentally and assist them in learning through playing.

It’s a pretty bold pledge however, it appears they’ve delivered so far. They have experts on their team who specialize in child development, and the toys they select are based on developmental research.

They also strive to design toys that are eco-friendly and sustainable. They use FSC-compliant wood and organic cotton. All their products are shipped carbon-neutral as well.

It’s important to note that this is not a monthly cost. You have to pay for each kit once it is delivered to your doorstep. They also offer a gifting option that allows a group to contribute towards the purchase of a Lovevery toy set for children. This is a great option for people who don’t want to sign up for the long-term costs of subscriptions.
