Best Subscription Boxes for Babies Under 3
Who doesn’t love getting stuff in the mail? Other than ads, and bills, and all that other “adult” stuff. I have 3 siblings living in Utah right now, and my kids love it when their Aunties send them pictures, cards or letters.
Even though a lot of us primarily use email to communicate with friends and relatives, it’s nice to get that unexpected package every once in a while!
Right before my husband and I left for Hawaii, his Aunt Janet sent us two surprise packages from Amazon filled with sunscreen and a long sleeve swim shirt for my husband (since he’s a redhead, this is pretty much a necessity).
It was so thoughtful of her to take the time to send that package to us and we were super excited to open it!
Now, you might be thinking, “I don’t have friends and relatives who live far away and like to send me or my kids’ packages!” Well, guess what?
You can sign up for monthly subscription boxes for you, your kids, and pretty much anyone else in your life!
Today we’re going to focus on the top 11 best subscription boxes for babies, or those children ages 0-3. Some have offerings for older kids or are even mom and baby subscription boxes.
I will share all the details about the boxes, what makes these baby boxes unique and what I like about them and any promo codes I could find to make them even more affordable. Enjoy!

Subscription Boxes for Babies
1. Panda Crate from Kiwi Co
Panda Crate delivers information, inspiration, and products that support your child’s healthy development and lifelong learning.
Kiwi Co has designed their Panda Crate to be grounded in the science of early childhood but made helpful, practical, and convenient. They work with experts at Seattle Children’s Hospital to bring you research-backed techniques to support your child’s healthy development.
They believe that children are naturally curious and learn by playing, exploring, and most importantly through interactions with significant adults in their lives.
Recommended for: Children ages 0-24 months.
Kiwi Co also has other lines of crates for kids from ages 3-16+ if you want to check them out.
How often boxes come: Every other month and they automatically renew every month, though you can cancel at any time.
Costs of the boxes: Most of the subscription services I’ll be talking about have the option of a month-by-month pay as you go plan, or an option to pay for a longer service for a discounted price.
Here’s the breakdown for Panda Crate:
- Monthly: $19.95/month
- 3 months: $19.95/month
- 6 months: $18.50/month
- 12 months: $16.95/month
You can see that if you buy the longer subscription for a full year, you end up saving almost $100 instead of doing month-to-month. Plus, there is free shipping within the U.S.!
If you buy the Newborn Pack, it’s three boxes of goodies for just $29.95! You can see Katelyn’s Cricket Crate Newborn Pack review and newer Panda Crate review for more information about it contains (it’s pretty awesome).
You can also gift the boxes to others.
What you can expect to receive in a box
Each box comes with projects that are appropriate for your child’s specific age. You’ll get everything you need to complete a project, such as writing utensils, card stock, etc. You’ll also get ideas from the company on how to continue using some of the items included as your kid grows up. In each box, there is also a copy of “Wonder” magazine, and a list of online resources with links to other projects your child might enjoy.
What makes them unique: It’s hard to copy a craft you see on Pinterest with your child if you don’t have the right tools to go along with it. Since everything’s in the box, you don’t have to worry about rushing to the store to grab extra glue or markers to complete the project.
What I like about Panda Crate: It’s super affordable! If you really enjoy crafting/doing projects with your kids, you’re going to be investing about $20 a month anyway to get the appropriate tools and supplies. This way you don’t have to pack all the kids in the car and drive to the store to do a fun project together. It’s also super convenient! I’m not a big crafter, so I like that I don’t have to come up with my own projects by scanning the Internet or typing out a whole bunch of instructions.
Benefits of their boxes: You’re doing projects with your kids that are educational as well as fun, and it’s easy to do together. Kids enjoy it when you spend time with them, and you get the benefit of helping their creative juices flow. If you sign up for their newsletter, you also get 30% off!

2. Bookroo
Bookroo is a monthly subscription box for babies that helps them fall in love with reading by combining the excitement of opening a gift with the discovery of a new, treasured book! Bookroo delivers curated, individually wrapped baby books right to your door each month. Books are curated by a Bookroo Review Process which includes input from young families attending Stanford University.
Recommended for: Ages 0-3 (for board books), 3-6 (for picture books), and 7-10 (for chapter books).
How often boxes come: Every month or every other month, you get to choose. Your subscription will automatically renew unless you decide to cancel. You can cancel whenever you want.
Costs of the boxes: Shipping is $5 flat. Just like other subscription services, you can pay monthly or prepay for a few months and get a slightly discounted rate.
Here are your options:
- Monthly: $19.95/month + $5 shipping = $24.95 per month
- 3 months: $18.95/month + $5 shipping = $23.95 per month or $71.85 upfront
- 6 months: $17.95/month + $5 shipping = $22.95 per month or $137.70 upfront
- 12 months: $16.95/month + $5 shipping = $21.95 per month or $263.40 upfront
If you choose the every other month subscription:
- Monthly: $20.95/month + $5 shipping = $25.95 per month
- 3 months: $19.95/month + $5 shipping = $24.95 per month or $74.85 upfront
- 6 months: $18.95/month + $5 shipping = $23.95 per month or $143.70 upfront
You do pay less if you buy a longer subscription! And they totally allow for you to gift these to other people!

What you can expect to receive in a box: For kids ages 0-3, you’ll get 3 new board books in every box. If you have a kid between the ages of 2-6, you can choose “Picture Books”‘ instead and get 2 hardcover books per box. You can see an example of the picture books in Katelyn’s post about teaching her homeschooled twins how to read.
What makes them unique: Books are reviewed by families and their kids. The parents that review the books have at least one spouse attending Stanford University. Books are sent out to the families and then rated on how “readable” or engaging they are. Bookroo tries to send books to you that are not easily found online or in stores. They also come individually wrapped in beautiful paper packaging for a fun touch!
What I Like About Bookroo: I like that they try to showcase different authors and books that may not be as popular. It’s fun to discover a book with your kids that are different than the ones you read a million times when you were growing up.
My parents took me to the library a lot, and after seeing the same books over and over again, it’s nice to have some variety!
If you are a new parent and don’t have a lot of board books or picture books on your shelves, this is a great way to start building your at-home library.
Benefits of their boxes: Almost all kids ages 0-3 enjoy books and love to read! A program like Bookroo builds a love of reading among young kids.
Here’s an answer to an FAQ on their site that I found very helpful:
“What if I have children in both the board book and picture book age groups?
If you haven’t signed up yet, as you checkout, simply choose our alternating subscription when you arrive at the “Choose Book Type” step, and we’ll alternate between sending you board and picture books every other month. (You can also choose which box you get first!) If you want books for both age groups every month, we offer a 15% discount off the second subscription shipping to the same address for as long as both subscriptions are active. If you’re already subscribed and would like to update your subscription to alternate, just let us know and we’d be happy to alternate which box we send you so that you can acquire books for both age groups.”
I love that because I would love books for all of my children!

What makes them unique: The main focus of Ecocentric Mom is on products that are good for the environment and eco-friendly.
What I think about Ecocentric Mom: I don’t usually buy eco-friendly, organic items. I really want to, but they’re usually out of my price range. So, I feel like $32.99 is a little pricey for what you get, but then again most organic products are! I am not quite their target audience, but you might be!
Benefits of their boxes: How often do we as moms really pamper ourselves? Answer: Never! This is a great way to discover new eco-friendly products that you didn’t know about before and you get to Treat. Yo. Self.

What makes them unique: You might be thinking, “Isn’t this really similar to other kids’ book subscriptions?” Well, the cool think about My First Reading Club is that every time you enter the code HELP147 at checkout, at no extra cost or charge to you, your monthly subscription will provide a struggling/orphan child with 3 meals each month. So you’re helping other kids as well as your own!
What I like about My First Reading Club: It’s not as expensive as some of the other options out there, including Bookroo mentioned above, and I like that they include coloring books too! My kids love to color and are constantly filling up their coloring and activity books from front to back.

5. Hoppi Box
Hoppi Box ships you boxes of high-quality toys tailored to your baby’s age and developmental milestones every quarter. Baby experts help curate your customized box of toys that support the development of fine motor, cognitive, and social skills for each stage.
Recommended for: Kids ages 0-3 years.
How often boxes come: Quarterly: March, June, September, December.
Costs of the boxes: Shipping is FREE, Quarterly you pay $75, if you want to prepay for the whole year, you only pay $66 a quarter (saving you $36).
What you can expect to receive in a box: 3 to 5 toys and books in each box, catered to your child’s developmental stages and milestones.
What makes them unique: With each subscription, they donate a toy to a baby in need.
What I like about Hoppi Box: You know when you have to swing by Target to pick up just a few items, and then suddenly you find yourself in the toy section with where one kid is kicking and screaming at the top of their lungs and the other is crying like you are torturing them? Y’all know what I’m talking about!
Instead of taking the kids out on errands with you and buying them a toy as a last minute “will-you-just-be-quiet” resort, you can get them in the mail and avoid the whole thing altogether! I also like that they try to pick out toys that fit each stage/milestone your kid is going through to help them learn and grow.
As a first time parent, you feel a lot of pressure to buy the “right toys” for your kids at the right stages, and sometimes you miss the mark. Kids will love it and it’s super convenient!
Benefits of their boxes: Hoppi Box has an experienced team of people on their staff who come from child development backgrounds. Some have also worked at Montessori schools. Plus, with each subscription, they donate a toy to a baby in need through their charity partners. It takes the guesswork out of what toys to buy your kids.

6. KidBox
Kidbox creates a unique and fun shopping experience that brings parents and kids together to discover new styles, save time in their busy lives, and bond over the joys of community giving.

How often boxes come: 5 times a year. Skip as you please.
What you can expect to receive in a box: 6-7 name brand items or 5-6 items (for baby by KIDBOX).
What I like about KidBox: For every box purchased, KIDBOX donates clothes to a child through a charity of your choice! Plus, the clothes look super nice and actually seem affordable.
Benefits of their boxes: I like that I don’t have to keep everything if I really don’t like it or it doesn’t fit. Plus, I figure it’s a good way to get cute baby clothes without actually go into stores with my baby! Nothing like the clothes coming to you. I could see this being really great for first-time parents.
Don’t forget to use code TRY10 to get 10% off what you do keep!
7. Bluum

What you can expect to receive in a box: You’ll get 4 or more full-sized products each month such as: books, age-appropriate toys, apparel accessories, and home and body care items.
What makes them unique: Bluum has a team of expert M.O.M.’s (managers of merchandising) who spend their days trying new products, meeting and getting to know brands. It’s their mission to evaluate whether a brand is a good fit to join the lineup of bluum’s products. Doing that, the team applies hard criteria to make sure they only send responsibly sourced, free of dangerous chemicals and in most cases organically manufactured products that are healthy for baby and mom. Bluum currently works with more than 350 brands and over 1,000 different products.
What I like about Bluum: I like that it combines the books, the baby gear, and the toys. This is all stuff you’re probably going to buy anyway, so why not have it delivered to your front door? I’m not a huge fan of the element of surprise when it comes to what I buy for my kids, so in my opinion, I would rather know exactly what I’m getting and there are no returns here.
Benefits of their boxes: It takes the hassle out of going to the store for certain products and it’s fun to get something new for your kid each month.

What I like about YUMI: This company definitely caters to the busy mom who doesn’t have the time to make her own baby food, but wants her baby to eat very healthy. This company is super eco-friendly and cuts out a lot of unnecessary additives and ingredients that you might find in baby food from a store shelf. It is really expensive when you compare it to making your own baby food, but if you don’t have the time, then it might be worth it.
Benefits of their boxes: All of the meals are chosen by nutritionists. The baby food is organic, gluten-free, vegetarian, vegan, dairy free, peanut free, fresh. This is really great for kids who have a lot of food allergies or who are sensitive to certain foods.

Katelyn Fagan says
Right!! They would totally make great gifts! I think especially something like the baby books – helps you build up a child’s library with cute new books each month! Or baby clothes, or toys. Great point!
