  • Today’s video is my second Kiwi Co, Koala Crate review and unboxing for families like me based in the UK. We’ve been receiving these crates over the past 7 months now and in this video I unbox four of our latest crates, show you how we use the activities and I tell you what I love and what I don’t about the crates. This review is not sponsored and is an honest review of my opinion as a UK/British mum with a 2 and a half year old toddler.

    Loved the video! Appreciated how thorough and honest your review was! I just signed up for the Koala Krate for a sweet 2 year old that I Nanny. I have preteens and was a kiwi crate subscriber for them for a couple years but never at the Koala age range. So thanks!!!
    **There were some parts where you were speaking rather fast, that coupled with your (beautiful) accent I had a little trouble understanding. Im sure you aren’t an American focused channel but I would hate for people to miss out on your wonderful and quality video ❤

    Best review of kiwi which is unsponsored! Thank you. The international postage puts me off but will try one for six months. I cannot afford long term use while it comes from the USA. Hope a UK/eu company can make a similar subscription.

    The space box looks fun, but I totally agree, an easy improvement would be for the company to use different materials to make the planets and such. Since American English/ British English came up in this video, I thought I'd ask you, is the 'i' in 'ing' (i.e. in a word like 'walking') considered a short vowel in British English? Our steam subscription box is made out of Hong Kong and the recent phonics story book they sent kept identifying ing as a short i sound...which was very confusing to me. I don't know if it's an error or a regional difference in English?

    • @BairnandaBackpack
      @BairnandaBackpack  3 ปีที่แล้ว

      Thanks for watching Rachel! I honestly don't know about the vowel sound. I have never studied English phonics but I will definitely ask some of my teacher friends for you. I wouldn't be surprised if it was a regional difference. Sorry I couldn't be more help! 🙈

      Hey Jacie. You may want to check out my woodland bedroom renovation video where I talk about his room and bed. My husband actually built his bed but yes, he can get in and out of it independently and he never falls out. It's perfect! 😂

    The American English would annoy me to, books that reference fire engines as fire trucks even annoy me hist because thats just not what we call them. I've looked at getting them for my two but the price has put me off. Thank you for your honest review. If you haven't already seen mud and bloom I highly recommend you check them out its aimed at 3-8 years but you'll be able to judge how much Ben would get out of it 😊

    • @BairnandaBackpack
      @BairnandaBackpack  3 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      I totally agree with the truck reference! 😂 The price, without the international shipping is totally reasonable but it does really get on the expensive side when you add that on! Mud and Bloom looks great and I'll definitely be checking them out. Thanks so much for the suggestion! ❤️

    I’m really interested in kiwi Co for my kids. Did you have to pay import charges etc if it comes from the USA?

    Hi
    Loved this video!
    I’d love to know if you’re still getting the koala crate? It’s looking like it’s £35 a box now?! Has there been a huge pice increase? X

    • @BairnandaBackpack
      @BairnandaBackpack  2 ปีที่แล้ว

      Hey! That's a crazy price and they are definitely not worth that. We stopped around a year ago now and I started using Mud and Bloom instead who are UK based. Really like their boxes but some activities are a little too old for Ben. 😀

    Did you get the add-on book with your subscription? On the website, the book is another 7GBP added onto the crate so it would end up being almost 180GBP for the 6months with the books.

      @@BairnandaBackpack Yeh that's the same as how I saw it. I really hope that they would start manufacturing them in the UK or EU in the future because, besides the postage, it also creates a lot of carbon footprint for each individual box to be shipped from the US.
