"When I was pregnant with my first child I remember looking at my small basket of cute baby products I’d just purchased and thinking to myself, “how do parents accumulate so much crap? This doesn’t seem too crazy.” A baby shower and few holidays later, and the tiny people items really started to pile up. Then we went and popped another kid out. And somehow we now live in Theo and Sofia’s Museum of Random Stuff. I’m sure most parents can relate there. However, there’s a simple way to avoid adding toys to the inevitable buildup of baby stuff. And it’s a playtime hack our editors (and their kids) have been loving for years.
All the moms on our team have varying parenting styles, product preferences, and kid personalities. Yet no matter how different we are, most of us have used one specific playtime subscription: Lovevery. And mostly by accident considering that a couple of us weren’t even on the team when we started our Lovevery subscriptions. But their Play Kits have such hype in the parenting community that we were all very familiar with these beautiful and high-quality products by the time our babies were born. Now that our tiny humans have reached the toddler stage, we can share our honest review of the wildly popular Play Kits Subscription by Lovevery.

1. They’re developmentally appropriate
“As a new mom, I eagerly added The Play Gym to my registry and was thrilled to receive it before my first baby was born. I instantly fell in love with the Play Guides included with the gym. And signed up for the Play Kit Subscription when Zach was just a month old. I loved that I was consistently (and easily) leveling up his play when we needed it to build crucial skills. And help him hit his milestones without introducing items that weren’t yet appropriate for him.
The Play Guides included with each kit helped set my expectations as a new mom. So I wasn’t constantly wondering ‘is this normal?’. The quality is also 10/10 and all of my first son’s toys were in excellent condition and able to be passed down to his little brother and then friends of ours beyond that as my boys outgrew them.” — Ally, mom to Zach (4) and Oliver (2).

2. They’re durable and high quality
“The Lovevery Play Kit Subscription was so loved in our house that we purchased very few other toys for months. The items were perfectly aligned with baby’s developmental stage. And are incredibly well made (we still own so many of them!). In a world of breakable, short-term-use toys, the Lovevery pieces have survived years of multiple uses in our home. We ended up donating them once our first born became a toddler but loved the Lovevery subscription so much that we are purchasing again for our second baby. It is that good.” — Megan, mom to Lucas (4) and another on the way.
“The Play Gym was one of the first items I registered for with my first baby. And I literally squealed when one of my best friends purchased it for him. It was so loved those first few months, that I later went on to subscribe to The Play Kits when he was nearing a year old. We had such a great experience that when I became pregnant again, the first thing I brought back out was our trusty Play Gym. I also immediately subscribed to The Looker Play Kit so our second LO could enjoy The Play Kits from the very beginning.
All our Lovevery products have held up remarkably well with both kids no matter how rough our tiny humans are. I advise all my new mom friends to skip on the cheaply made plastic toys because of how easily they break. It’s infinitely more worth it to have a subscription that delivers beautiful and durable items every 2 to 3 months. And will still hold up for future littles. Plus, sticking to a Lovevery Subscription eliminates the clutter of other toys that your kid will most definitely forget about in 5 seconds.” — Steph, mom to Theo (3) and Sofia (1).

3. They’re convenient for mom & baby
“Since becoming a mom and entering the never-ending brain olympics (where your mind is constantly thinking about and doing 46,000 things at once, anticipating every possible need, and yet still forgetting something), I’ve relied on any and everything that will make my life easier and reduce my mental load. And yes, I love my prime subscriptions and the lawn guy that comes every two weeks—but there’s nothing like the excitement when a Lovevery Play Kit arrives.
First off, I am genuinely curious and excited to see what we are going to be playing with next. But the best part (and the part that really makes my life easier) is that these high-quality toys are all created perfectly with her development in mind along with an incredibly easy guide on the best ways to play with them (and her). No late nights googling and wondering what I’m “supposed to be doing”. Or if that random toy she is obsessed with shoving in her mouth is covered in some hazardous chemical.
Lovevery is designed by experts with development and safety in mind—the subscription makes it easy and seriously fun. And yes, my daughter is just as obsessed. Despite whatever random toy grandma brings by, the Lovevery pieces remain her favorite. It’s exciting to watch her be so engaged that she will sit and independently play with them for an extended period of time.” — Allyson, mom to Monroe (1).
