First, LOVEVERY doesn’t sponsor this blog post, nor am I related to the company.
I am reviewing the company products simply because we have a subscription and we like their products.
We have had a subscription for over a year now for our baby since three months old. Here, I am giving our honest parent’s opinions. In this post, I will also cover what the subscription is and how it works.
What Is LOVEVERY Play Kit?
LOVEVERY is a subscription company that sells toy kits that experts design. It is a stage-based play kit appropriate for your child’s age that promotes brain development and motor skill, supports imaginative play and problem-solving.
Lovevery’s toys are Montessori-inspired. (If you’re not familiar with Montessori, read this blog post to learn about what Montessori is)
(If you ask where you can get Lovevery products, they are only available online and you can purchase from its online store. However, it currently ships to the United States and Canada. For service to Europe, you need to visit eu.lovevery.com or uk.lovevery.com. And also have several products available on Amazon for purchase.)
Is LOVEVERY Subscription Worth It?
I understand the budget is a very personal matter. But first, let’s talk about how the subscription works, what the kits include, and how much it costs per kit/month, and then you decide. I will tell you our opinions at the end.
When you go to subscribe or order, you will enter your child’s birthdate so that you find the play kit for your child starting at the right stage.
For example, we subscribed when our boy was around three months, so we got The Charmer Play Kit, which is for a 3-4 months old baby. The play kit includes a wooden rattle, rolling bell, high contrast card, framed mirror, teethers, crinkle bag, and soft book.
After subscription, you receive a play kit box every 2-3 months.
The Baby Play Kit is 0-12 months of age that you receive every two months.
Whereas The Toddler Play Kit is 13 – 36 months, you receive it every three months.
When you subscribe, for the baby play kit, for example, the total cost for a year (6 play kits every two months) is $480. The price is $80 per kit or $40 per month.
For the toddler play kit, the total price for a year (4 play kits every three months) is the same, $480 or $40 per month. The only difference is the cost per kit is $120 because the kits are for every 3-month stage.
If you pay upfront, you save 10%, making the total cost down to $432. Also, there is still an option where you can order a single play kit if you don’t want to have a subscription.
So, if you ask us that Lovevery’s play kit worth it or not, in our case, we say 100% worth it!!
Because we nearly don’t need to buy any other additional toys for our baby as we believe Lovevery’s play kit is enough for his stage.
Also, if we didn’t have Lovevery’s subscription, we would most likely spend more than $40 per month to buy other toys minus Lovevery’s play kit quality.
Speaking of quality, let’s talk about why we like Lovevery’s play kits.
Why do We Like LOVEVERY?
It is Minimalist and Purposeful.
Parents, let’s face it, children’s toys can be messy and drive you crazy. Lovevery’s play kits are minimal, only include what your child needs at a stage.
Additionally, it helps you make toys organized as you can rotate toys at every stage. You can even keep the boxes that come with the kit and pack the old toys back when you open a new one. That way, your child is not overcrowded with a bunch of toys and can play more with fewer toys.
Lovevery’s play kit is purposeful. As I said, child development experts carefully design the toys. Every toy included in the play kit has a purpose for your child’s development.
Have High Product Quality
The play kits are made from sustainably harvested wood, organic cotton, water-based and non-toxic paint. In certain products, they use bio-based plastics, which are free from BPA and phthalates.
It is Montessori Inspired
Lovevery’s play kit is simple toys made of natural materials. It allows your child to practice one skill at a time by minimizing unnecessary distractions.
It is based on real life.
Lovevery’s play kit doesn’t have electronics or flashing lights, which encourages your child’s problem-solving skills through exploration.
Has a Well-Researched Guide
Every play kit box comes with a mini guide that helps you to understand your child’s milestones at a particular age and the best way to play using the toys. The guide even includes how to clean the toys and other sensory play inspirations.
Age-Appropriate
As said above, the play kits are designed by child development experts focusing on children’s milestones.
Can Use It for More than One Child
Lovevery’s toys are sturdy enough to pass on to your next child, sell to second-hand markets, or you can donate them.
Other Items at LOVEVERY
Lovevery also has some other items for your baby or toddler. The play gym, block set, buddy stroller, and home collections, to name a few.
We bought the buddy stroller when our boy was about to start walking when he was about to turn one. At first, while he was trying to walk, he loved to practice with it as it makes him independent and secure at the same time.
After he masters walking, he likes to push his stuffed toys on the stroller like we do push him on the stroller. (which is an imaginative play that he tries to replicate what he saw his parents doing)
We like the buddy stroller because it is balanced, teaches the baby walking by pushing, and promotes imaginative play.
So this is why we like Lovevery. I hope this gives you a choice of toys.
