1. Panda Crate

KiwiCo is consistently one of the most highly rated subscription box companies for kids, and its baby-focused subscription, Panda Crate, continues to be a favorite with parents year after year. Designed for babies and toddlers from birth through 36 months, Panda Crate focuses on learning through play with thoughtfully designed toys that encourage exploration, problem-solving, and interaction with caregivers.

Each Panda Crate is tailored to your child’s age and developmental stage and ships every other month. Instead of overwhelming you with a lot of random items, the crates are built around a small set of high-quality toys and activities that align with key milestones. The idea is to help parents feel confident about what they are putting in front of their baby without having to research developmental stages or guess what comes next.

In addition to the standard Panda Crate, KiwiCo now offers upgraded options for families who want a little more. Panda Crate Plus includes additional play guides and “grow-with-me” toys that are designed to stay relevant longer as your child’s skills develop. Panda Crate Deluxe builds on that by adding an age-appropriate book, making it a popular choice for parents who want a more complete play-and-read experience in one box.

Every crate also includes simple activity instructions and play suggestions to help parents get the most out of the toys without feeling like they need to plan anything extra. For parents who want developmentally appropriate toys delivered on autopilot, Panda Crate remains one of the easiest and most reliable options available heading into 2026.

2. Hello Bello

Hello Bello is the baby and personal care brand founded by Kristen Bell and Dax Shepard, and it has become a go-to option for parents looking for an affordable diaper and wipes subscription. In addition to diapers and wipes, Hello Bello also offers training pants, skincare, vitamins, and other everyday essentials, making it easy to bundle everything together in one recurring delivery.

With Hello Bello’s diaper bundle, parents can customize both size and design, choosing from a wide range of fun, colorful prints. Bundles are designed to keep up with real-life needs, whether you are stocking up on diapers, adding wipes, or shopping for multiple kids at once. The diapers themselves are soft, hypoallergenic, and made without harsh ingredients, which is a big draw for parents looking for a gentler option at a lower price point.

One thing that sets Hello Bello apart is flexibility. You can include more than one diaper size in a single order, adjust your delivery schedule, and make changes to your bundle shortly before it ships. Subscribers also receive a discount on add-on items like skincare and supplements, and Hello Bello often includes occasional freebies, especially for first-time orders.

Hello Bello works well for parents who want dependable diapers delivered on a schedule without committing to a premium price point.

3. Bookroo

Bookroo is a children’s book subscription service designed to help families build a thoughtful home library over time. While Bookroo offers subscriptions for kids up to age 12, its Board Book Club is curated specifically for babies and toddlers ages 0 to 3. Each monthly delivery includes three sturdy board books, along with a short insert that shares background on the books and the people who created them.

What really sets Bookroo apart is its focus on lesser-known titles rather than the same classics that already fill most nursery shelves. The books are intentionally chosen to introduce variety, strong illustrations, and engaging language, which makes the subscription feel fresh month after month without requiring parents to hunt for new reads on their own.

Because Bookroo curates each box for you, there is no option to choose titles ahead of time. That said, if you receive a book you already own, Bookroo offers store credit you can use toward future purchases. For parents who want to make reading a daily habit early on, Bookroo is an easy, low-effort way to keep new books in rotation without overthinking it.

Pros

Cons

Shipping: Ships within the U.S. for a flat per-box fee

4. Lovevery

If Montessori-style, development-focused play is high on your priority list, Lovevery is one of the most well-known names in that space. Lovevery’s Play Kits are designed around child development research and focus on purposeful play using high-quality, durable materials like sustainably sourced wood, organic cotton, non-toxic finishes, and natural rubber.

Lovevery Play Kits are delivered every two months and are matched to your child’s age and developmental stage. For babies in their first year, the kits are designed to support skills like visual exploration, sensory development, fine motor coordination, and early problem-solving. As babies grow, the toys become more interactive and complex, encouraging curiosity, movement, and early learning through hands-on play.

Lovevery also offers a full lineup of Play Kits for toddlers, continuing the same development-first approach through early childhood. While parents cannot customize individual toys, many appreciate that the kits are intentionally curated to grow with their child and eliminate the guesswork of choosing what is appropriate at each stage.

Pros

Cons

Shipping: Free shipping on all Play Kits in the contiguous U.S. & Canada.

5. Surprisly

Surprisly is a baby clothing subscription built around the idea of making baby clothes fun again. Each monthly box delivers a small, curated set of stylish outfits chosen based on your baby’s age, size, and season. Instead of picking individual pieces, parents simply share their baby’s birthday or due date, current size, and preferred clothing type, and Surprisly handles the rest.

Each box typically includes three complete outfits meant for different moments, like everyday play, getting out of the house, and sleep. Styles vary from month to month, but the focus is on soft fabrics, comfortable fits, and designs that feel modern without being impractical. Surprisly works with a range of boutique and organic-focused brands, which helps keep the selection feeling fresh rather than repetitive.

Because the items are a surprise, Surprisly works best for parents who enjoy variety and do not want to spend time shopping or coordinating outfits. It is less about curating a capsule wardrobe and more about having seasonally appropriate clothes show up ready to wear, which can be especially helpful during fast growth spurts.

Shipping: Shipping is free for all shipments within the United States.
