Kidbox is a kid’s clothing box that “combines cool brands, meaningful savings and a mission to clothe children in need.” KidBox ships 5 boxes a year (spring, summer, back to school, fall and winter) but they will notify you before they ship in case you want to skip a box, change your child’s sizing or even their style preferences.
Kidbox offers a few options: the Baby by Kidbox for sizes Newborn-24 months, Kidbox for sizes 2T-14, and a new Kidsentials, socks and underwear on-demand service.
This review is of the Baby's New Year's Box in 18 month sizing.
This box was sent to us at no cost for review. (Check out the review process post to learn more about how we review boxes.)

Kidbox 2019 New Year Box for Baby Review
Each box comes with a price sheet listing each item of clothing, the retail price, and the price Kidbox will charge to keep that item (which is less than retail). There’s also a plastic mailer and pre-addressed sticker to easily return anything you’re not keeping. Also included were some stickers and crayons.
Kidbox Free Gift - Estimated Value: $3?
Every month Kidbox includes a free gift. The one for my 3-year-old had a box of playing cards this month, and they included a little-stuffed horse figure in a pretty print for Jace.
Toby & Company Boys Sherpa Lined Hat w/ Antlers, 18 month - Retail Price: $20, Kidbox Price: $14
This hat is super cute and feels very nice and warm. Unfortunately, it's too small for Jace's head! Jace is very tall for his age and has a big head (both just like his brother) so hats can be tricky anyway.
Baby Basics Boys 5 Pack Ankle Socks, 12/24 months - Retail Price: $14, Kidbox Price: $10
I am always happy to get kids socks because I never remember to buy them myself. Also, I didn't, like, sort Gideons socks when packing them up once they became too small (is that a thing you're supposed to do to baby socks??), so I have mostly just preferred to grab a few sets of new socks for Jace. These are soft and neutral and will do the job just fine.
Lucky Jade Boys 2PC Rocket Print Set, 12/18 months - Retail Price: $38, Kidbox Price: $26
Okay, I freaking love this print and this set! Too bad the shirt sleeves are too short! As I said, he's tall for his age, so that's a common issue for him. The main issue is that Jace's sizing info wasn't updated before this box was sent so everything is 18 months when he really needs 24 months. Fortunately, exchanges are easy so it's not a big deal, but it just means there are a few things this month that are too small out of the box.
Gerber Boys Camo Dinosaur 3 Piece Set, 24 months - Retail Price: $22, Kidbox Price: $15
To be honest, I think the retail price in the info sheet is quite inflated. Gerber is not a brand I think of as high quality. It's fine, but I'm pretty sure a 3-piece set from them would be between $8-12? I'm not seeing any comparable pieces online for more than that range, and Target has it listed at $7.95 but it's out of stock so I'm not sure if that was a clearance price or something before it became unavailable or something.
Anyways, that being said, this outfit actually fits Jace really well! It's the only 24-month outfit in this box, which is the size he needs now. The hat is a little small/tight, but it works. I don't really care for camo, and I'm confused as to why camo is combined with a dinosaur? Are we hiding from dinosaurs? Hunting them? I'm not sure about that but I am sure that Jace looks cute in it so it works for me.
Little Green Radicals Boys Bear Print Onesie, 12/18 months - Retail Price: $16.30. Kidbox Price: $13
Another super cute print! This is a really nice onesie and I appreciate the quality. It's just a little too short to fit Jace comfortably, so we'll be exchanging this one too.
Asher & Olivia Boys Hooded Playsuit, 12/18 months - Retail Price: $22, Kidbox Price: $15
This poor kid. He's like, "what is this and why are you doing this to me?" I think this playsuit is adorable so I tried it on him and it obviously doesn't fit him in this size. But this suit is another one that has a nice quality feel to it and I think would hold up really well over time.
Verdict: This was a pretty good Kidbox for us, as far as styling goes. Besides the fit issues (which were not really their fault because they sent what was in Jace's outdated sizing profile) it is probably the best-styled box and most in line with our taste than they've sent previously.
To Wrap Up:
Can you still get this box if you sign up today? Your box will be personally curated for you based on your child's age, style preferences, sizing, and Kidbox's current/featured stock!
LIMITED TIME DEAL: Use code MSA20 for $20 off your first box
Value Breakdown: The retail price of all my items add up to about $130.50 according to the info sheet, but with the discount from keeping a full box my total is $68. That's about $11 per item!
