Lovevery Play Kits: Are They Worth It? An Honest Review

Lovevery is one of the most talked-about baby brands in parenting circles — and one of the most asked-about at Everetts Place. Parents want to know: are Lovevery play kits actually worth the investment? Here's our honest take.

What Is Lovevery?

Lovevery creates stage-based play kits and individual toys designed by child development experts. Each product is mapped to specific developmental windows — the skills your baby is building right now, at this exact age. Rather than overwhelming you with a toy chest full of noisy plastic, Lovevery gives you a small, intentional set of toys that actually matter for your child's brain development at each stage.

The Lovevery Safety Standard

Every Lovevery product is made without harmful chemicals. Their toys are free from BPA, formaldehyde, phthalates, and AZO dyes. Fabrics are GOTS certified organic cotton. Wood pieces use water-based, non-toxic finishes. This is exactly the standard we require of every brand we carry at Everetts Place.

Best Lovevery Products for Each Stage

Newborn – 3 Months: The Play Gym

The Lovevery Play Gym is arguably their most iconic product. It grows with your baby from tummy time through sitting, and the organic cotton mat and wooden arch feel beautiful in any space. The hanging toys are developmentally sequenced and swap out as your baby grows.

4–6 Months: Sensory Exploration

At this stage Lovevery introduces high-contrast cards, crinkle books, and safe mirrors — all targeting the visual and tactile development happening rapidly in these months.

6–12 Months: Object Permanence & Fine Motor

The object permanence box, stacking rings, and shape sorters in Lovevery's kits for this age are Montessori classics executed with premium, non-toxic materials.

Lovevery vs. Generic Toy Store Toys

The difference isn't just materials — it's intention. Generic toy store toys are designed to attract parents' attention on a shelf. Lovevery toys are designed to attract your baby's attention at the exact developmental moment they'll benefit most. That's a fundamentally different design philosophy.

Our Verdict

Yes — Lovevery is worth it, especially as a baby shower gift or for your own registry. The play gym alone justifies the investment for most families. Individual toys are also available if you want to start without a subscription.
