THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR MAKING THIS VIDEO!
Glad the video helped!
If you can afford it and you time it correctly you could get both subscriptions which come every other month. Set it up so you end up getting one box every month so you can constantly introduce new items to your baby (although there is some overlap as mentioned).
That's a great idea to spread it out so you get a box every month.
Thanks for making these videos. We decided to go with the Lovevery subscription for my 2-wk-old despite the price and my annoyance with their weird name (Lov Every? Love Very? It's a mystery!). If I make these pretty much the only toys we buy, it's actually a good value. God knows I bought my first two kids plenty of flashing plastic crap for $20-$40 a pop, much of which failed to hold their interest for more than a play session or two. Hopefully we'll have better luck with the Lovevery toys.
Also, props on the name Alastair, I never got to use it, but by far one of my favorite boy names!
I not 100% but I call them Lov Every lol. I agree the quality of these toys are much better than most of those store plastic ones! It took my wife awhile before were actually aged in a name until we got to Alistair.
They say the right way to pronounce it is "Love Every" ;)
so helpful as a grandma trying to figure out what to get grandkiddos for Christmas this definitely helped..
Glad to have helped!
Something that you may want to add for those who don't know.....the value of the box goes beyond the cost of the items in the box. The MOST value is in the research and instruction of the neurodevelopmental stage of the child and how the parent might be able to interact with their child with the toys at a particular age. I know at least Lovevery has a guide - Kiwi might too. Glad to hear that not only is the value worth it for the toys but even more worth it considering the research behind it with the educational value !
Thank you so much for this video! So very helpful.
Also, congratulations on your new baby!
Glad the video helped out!
Hi, thanks for your video. I really like both subscriptions but Ultimately decided on kiwico over loveevery. I couldn't find a 2 month box for $80 through lovevery they only offered a $120 box every 3 months. I like the thought of getting the panda crate every 2 months instead of waiting 3 months for a lovevery box. I think the panda crate by kiwico is an excellent value and my son enjoys everything in the box so far. We can't wait to receive our next panda crate.
The $80 2 month boxes are only for 0-12 months. After that they jump to the 3 month $120 boxes. The panda crates are great still. My son enjoys many of the toys from those boxes.
Great video, thanks for sharing your review and the contents!
I saw that the Lovevery box also comes with some sort of play card / instruction manual and several other reviews I've read have indicated that those elements provide a good deal of value in terms of how to use / play with your kiddo. Do you feel the same way - do both kits come with these and are the instruction manual / guides pretty similar?
Both boxes actually come with guides, but the Lovevery one is more in depth and goes into age appropriate things that are going on with your child. Both comes with instructions/guide on how to use the toys. Lovevery might have a slight advantage, but KiwiCo isn’t far behind in the reading material section. KiwiCo also comes with a mini magazine with info about the box.

Great video! We have the Lovevery kits and the baby adores the toys and activities. She'll play with items from past kits along with the new! Thank you!
Thanks for this info. I had done the same break down with items on Amazon. I just learned about the KiwiCo from an IG ad and I'm considering that now.
The KiwiCo Panda Crates are very nice especially for the price.
Both boxes are great. Love every includes some more traditional hard wood Montessori themed toys which seems to account for the higher price. Things like the object permanence box. These items can cost quite a bit alone. You can also find some of these items on Etsy. With Etsy you can often times get better prices. I think the pre made boxes offer a lot of convenience plus they come with information on child development which saves a lot time for working parents. If your budget allows you can get both boxes. I personally would pick the love every (id I had to pick one) because of the larger toys that do not come in the kiwi box. I also like that you know exactly what you get.
Thank you so so so much! This is really helpful! I think I will go with lovevery!
Glad I could help! Hope your little one enjoys the Lovevery toys.
I had no interest in these boxes but only a few videos into your channel and I’m convinced both my kids needs these😂 Do you happen to know if aside from waiting to order the box or putting in a different age for my child if I can skip the first lovevery box and jump to the second one?
The ways of getting the second is like you said either wait, put in a fake age or you could also gift the box to yourself as well.
Thanks for creating these videos. Super helpful! We are thinking of getting the Lovevery playmat and the subscription, do you think it’ll be too much of an overlap? We currently have the skip hop vegetable farm playmat and my 3 month old son doesn’t care for it at all.
I don’t think much will overlap if you get both. A couple other of my subscribers have both and they love it!
Kevin Lu ohh thanks for your input! I ordered the play gym from buy buy baby and got 20% off and it seems like it delivers right from Lovevery. Again love your videos!
I just order Lov Every btw
Just what I was looking for!! 🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼
Glad the video helped!
Hello single mom here🙋🏻♀️! I truly value your opinion. My little one is 3 months old. He seems to be a little behind his milestones. Is it overkill to purchase the first two boxes at once? Price isn’t really an issue for me. I just don’t want to spend needlessly if the 3/4 month old box is good enough for him. Thanks!
I think the 3/4 box would be good enough for him. The focus of the first box was mainly high contrast toys, which the 3/4 still has some of the black and white card sets. The 3/4 box is a great one as my little boy is still interested in the toys and he's almost 6 months.
Kevin Lu thanks for the input! I’m doing my best to make life simpler for me. I think this subscription will give me one less thing to worry about.
Super helpful. Have you tried the Monti Kid subscription box? Curious which you'd prefer; Monti vs. Lovevery.
I've looked into the Monti Kid boxes, but sadly the price was a bit out of my budget. The items do look very nice though!
Hi Kevin! Our family loves your videos. Where did you get the jungle gym play cubes you have in your son's playroom? Thanks!
The triangular pillows come with the Nugget Comfort. Only thing is now the Nugget Comfort has gotten really popular recently, so it's getting harder and harder to order them.
@@kevin-lu Thank you so much for your information!!
Awesome video!
We are very big fans of the Panda crate and we are so excited to get our second one in December.
I agree with you that both seem like really good deals.
Some how I have never known about Bath books lol and now I'm gonna order some because that is so cute!
Thank you. We're excited to get our next Panda Crate in the next week or so ourselves! We really enjoy seeing our little boy interact with them.
Excellent video! Thank you so much for this review!
Thank you for this review! I think I am gonna try lovevery!
You welcome! Hope your little one enjoys the Lovevery boxes as much as mine
I love calculating things... thank you for doing this!
Hope it helped!
KEVIN! I was googling comparison reviews and your thumbnail popped up - I was like, dang that guy looks familiar LOL. I love your channel and your little man is so handsome! Thanks for doing this video - and all your other videos are going to be a good watch for me when I'm up late with my baby girl. I hope you're doing well!
Hey Susan! Congrats on your daughter! A couple others from college told me same thing about seeing a familiar face 😂. Everything is going well for me and my family.
I have a couple of the Lovevery high contrast toys and they help with vision therapy
My son loved the high contrast toys especially in the earlier months.
Thanks for the comparison!!!
This was extremely helpful, thank you 😊
You’re welcome! Glad it helped.
I love it, thanks for your Review!
You’re welcome! Glad you enjoyed the video.
Hi Kevin is it worth adding the deluxe book to my kiwico subscription?
I haven’t added it to my subscription. I’ve heard that the book is nice, but for $10 there’s a lot of books out there you could pick from.
@@kevin-lu thank you completely agree. by the way your videos are so helpful!
Thank you so much for this video!!!
You’re welcome! Hope it helps.
Can,t i try kiwico and lovevery
And don't say anything vs
Thanks for the comparison! Which subscription box have better quality in their toys?
You welcome! It's a close one as both boxes toys are fairly good quality. I would say that the Lovevery box has a slight edge. The workmanship on the Lovevery wooden toys are top notch.
awesome! great info! thanks for sharing!
Thanks! Hope this helps others decide if they only want one box.
I still don't know which one to pick but this was helpful. Does the lovevery subscription come with the gym or do you need to purchase that separately? And Do any of those toys overlap ?
The Lovevery gym is a separate purchase from the play kits. The two companies do have toys that overlap. Both boxes I reviewed in this came with a hand-to-hand disc. They weren't identical though as one was smaller and unpainted, while the other was larger painted black and white.
Both boxes are great. Love every includes some more traditional hard wood Montessori themed toys which seems to account for the higher price. Things like the object permanence box. These items can cost quite a bit alone. You can also find some of these items on Etsy. With Etsy you can often times get better prices. I think the pre made boxes offer a lot of convenience plus they come with information on child development which saves a lot time for working parents. If your budget allows you can get both boxes. I personally would pick the love every (id I had to pick one) because of the larger toys that do not come in the kiwi box. I also like that you know exactly what you get.
Thank you, very helpful!
Great review! Thanks for comparing so well!
Thanks! Hope it helped!
Aw your baby is so cute whats his name
Thanks! His name is Alistair.
@@kevin-lu aw thats a cute name and also i have kiwico and lovevery too i have a baby brother name adam and he loves it
My son is 13months, is it too late to have subscription?
I don’t think it’s too late. Both companies offer boxes for 12+ months.
Kevin Lu thank you, Kevin!
One more question, for 12+ months’ kid, you will recommend Kiwi or Lovevery?
Thanks for doing a price comparison with amazon! I was always curious about that!
You’re welcome! Hope it helped.
Which kit would you recommend for a 10month old baby ? I'm ready to subscribe
The 9-10 month box from Lovevery so far has been my son's favorite. He's 10 months right now and about to be 11 in a week and still loves the toys from the box.
My daughter is 17 months and still plays with her 9-10 month Lovevery toys almost daily. She is obsessed!
tHANKas SO MUCH

Thank you! I was just trying to do the same thing.
You welcome! Hope it helped you pick a box.
Thank you for this!
Ty for this 🤗
You welcome! Hope it helped.
But $61.54 is for one box, and one box is for 2 months, and since the subscription is $40 a month, $61.54 is way better than $80.
The wording on KiwiCo site is confusing, I was confused myself for awhile. It's roughly $20 per month, but they only ship you one box every 2 months, so each box is $40. I think they put the description of $20 per month just to entice people.
Kevin Lu oh okay! My comment was referring to Lovevery then :) $80 a box
Great video! Super helpful when deciding on what box to get my 3 month old.
Glad the video helped!
Did purchase the lovevery but I am disappointed they don’t offer replacement items for your damaged books or toy etc
Where your items damaged in shipping? I do know that their customer service takes awhile to respond. Apparently they have a small team so it could take up to a week to respond which is crazy.
@@kevin-lu Not damaged in shipping. but my daughter ripped some of the books, I would of like to purchase replacements for my boy... But Overall worth it, my daughter loves the boxes and looks forward to getting a new one.
I just received the sensory box from kiwico. There are some modifications to the box. There is no more hand to hand disc, and the wooden ring on the crinkly toy is missing too.
Are the modifications better toys?
@@kevin-lu No not at all.
Great video.. can you cancel at any time Lovevery box or kiwi co ?
Yup you can cancel at anytime with either company. KiwiCo does have options to buy a couple in advance for savings. I don’t think you can get a refund on those prepurchased ones.
Love your video very informative thx!
Glad you found the info helpful!
Thank you so much for this video. In terms of Value in relation to the child's development which subscription is better? Will the child learn the same amount of knowledge/skills from either one?
I think that both boxes do teach very similar skills over the course, BUT Lovevery has the edge in consistency. With Lovevery you know exactly what you get depending on your baby's age. KiwiCo is more like traditional subscription boxes, each month is a surprise. Also Lovevery does come with more items per box so you also feel like there's more to teach your baby.
@@kevin-lu Can I add on this; I am not sure whether you compared both boxes for the development of babies up until 36 months or in general, but in general Lovevery is focused on development of kids 0-3 y.o. taking inspiration from Montessori approach. KiwiCo is focused on Science,Technology, Engineering Art, Math. If you were comparing only up until 36 months, ok.
in general Lovevery is focused on development of kids 0-3 y.o. taking inspiration from Montessori approach. KiwiCo is focused on Science,Technology, Engineering Art, Math
Thanks this was helpful and saved me some time ;p I was going to look up each item and do what you did lol.
No need for both of us to look it up! Glad the video helped!
Thank you for this detailed comparison! I'm guessing your son is now 16-17 months old (they grow so fast, right?!) from the time of this video, are you subscribed to lovevery or kiwico? and do you think these kits are providing value to your child's development? Do you buy toys outside of what you get in these kits? I have an 18 month old son and I just subscribed to lovevery (and to your channel!). Look forward to hearing from you!
My son is almost 16 months old and I totally agree that time is flying by! I’m still subscribed to both boxes. Personally I love the boxes. The toys are great for developing their skills and not to mention great quality. We do get some toys outside these boxes but not too many. Usually only ones that I know won’t be in future boxes.
Which subscription box do you like better?
I'd say Lovevery has a slight edge. Mostly due to it having more items to rotate.
Why is it coming to 120$?
Are you referring to the Lovevery box? I know that one a child reaches 13+ months the boxes jump to $120 per box, but you only get one box every 3 months instead of 2.
Kevin Lu so kiwico is only 20$ for 2 months whereas love every is 40$ for 3 months and just one box.
Mehak Hussain So KiwiCo is essentially $20 per month, but you only get one box every other month. Which is basically $40 per box. Lovevery months 13-24 is $40 per month, but only one box every 3 months. Basically making it $120 per box.
