    2023 UPDATE: Monti Kids stopped manufacturing and selling toys as of July 2023, and Kiwico switched up their crates a bit, so now Panda Crate encompasses 0 to 36 months, while the Koala Crate is intended for 3 to 4 year olds.

    Just a quick update on QUALITY: In this video I said that Lovevery and Monti Kids quality was about the same, but I will say in the last few months I've had 4 toys from Monti Kids (wooden interlocking discs, kicking ball, 1 mobile, and the gym) have some sort of defect or break versus my Lovevery toys which have sustained 2 kids and 3 years with no issues.

      @@kelsey30 Yeah one of the legs wasn't cut right, so we couldn't slide it in to lock it into place. Honestly it just needed to be shaved an extra mm and if we had tools we could've easily fixed it ourselves but we didn't. They did send me a new one right away, and that's the only one I asked for a replacement for.

      I have had the same issue with Monti kids and cancelled my subscription partly because of that. It was so disappointing😢. I was able to glue them back myself but that’s not what I expect to have to do every time I get a box from that.

    Thank you for the video! I am first time Grandma and caring for our grandbaby a couple times a week. I bought the Lovevery and I agree I love these toy crates! We use every toy and the box is sent at age appropriate time. I started with box for 3-4 month old (first month I watched her) and just received the 5-6 month box. I LOVE the quality of the toys and that included in box is a nice booklet for the adult to learn and read about their baby and the stage of development. Very well done!! :D. I will get one more box in my subscription (7-8 months) and then I will re-evaluate what to do next. Thanks again!

    SO true about most people wanting a Waldorf play room. 😆 Looking forward to your video about Montessori vs. Waldorf.

    • @MariaandMontessori
      @MariaandMontessori 2 ปีที่แล้ว +3

      Right? 😂Every "aesthetic Montessori playroom" I see is mainly Waldorf. Which is totally fine but let's give credit to Waldorf if that's your real inspiration!

    • @theconfusedmom
      @theconfusedmom  2 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Haha yep! I'm guilty of it, but it's just because I know people are searching for Montessori and not waldorf haha! I think a lot of homeschooling IG moms really made montessori popular in social media times, but due to religious conflicts don't promo Waldorf... just my guess!

    Thanks! Having an internal conflict with Kiwico… it’s becoming a love-hate relationship. Many of their toys are similar to Lovevery, and I even prefer some of them (like the beads and string - no plastic!), but the crate that just shipped seems…. Meh. And I just don’t see the value. We talk about feelings and acknowledge them as they come up. I don’t need 5-7 toys to teach them feelings, let alone when she’s above the age range they recommend. 🙄 I love the crates for the BIG kids (10+), where they do science experiments and make real practical items, but I’m probably going to call it quits on renewing for my tots. I got the subscriptions for their birthdays this year. Lovevery wins for me!

    My only experience with KiwiCo was trying to get a box for a friend...and I could NOT figure out what I was about to send her son! Gave up and put together my own "kit" for her 🤣 Totally spot on comparison of all 3 👌

      @theconfusedmom  2 ปีที่แล้ว +2

      lol thank you! I'm sure your DIY kit was just as good! That's part of the reason I couldn't get behind Koala Crate! I'm pretty handy and some of the crates just seemed like I could DIY or recreate for less

    Monti Kids has stopped all discount codes with the price drop, but it's worth trying code TCM if they turn it back on (would only work on program, not stand alone products or kits) www.theconfusedmillennial.com/montikids +++ I definitely meant to say "WHAT" not why! Haha "WHAT" are you looking for most!

    My son is 8 months old and gets hurt sometimes while moving, pulling a toy and getting his head hit etc and starts crying badly. How do I handle him in this case? I usually carry him out and cool him down.

    • @theconfusedmom
      @theconfusedmom  2 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Oh gosh that's a really big question! I don't think there's one specific answer for each situation other than to just hold him and comfort him until he's calm!
      If it's related to a toy, I'd probably observe what's happening with that toy and see if I either need to put it away until and reintroduce in a few weeks to see if he's more capable or I need to model something for him where things are going wrong.
      If it's related to movement, we just always had our home be a yes zone, and were always conscious to not react or just smile until baby actually signaled needing us in a bigger way (pouting in that about to cry way or crying). E.g. a lot of adults gasp if baby falls so baby ends up crying as learned behavior from the adults (falling is nerve racking/scary).

    I have both they supplement each other and I think there is a big difference in quality between lovevery and monti kids, monti kids is better quality. I recommend both.

    Kiwico's products are not worth the price, their service is very bad, no phone support, only email for problems and often no reply, cancelled subscriptions will always be charged to your credit card, very scary
