Lovevery subscription advice for 15 month old

We've subscribed since our child was 6 months and she's now 17 months. She's enjoyed the toys, and it's been nice not needing to decide to what purchase and even what books to buy, since we opted for the additional book package. I especially like that they all y use photographs instead of cartoons since sometimes the art for other children's books are barely intelligible. The toys are sturdy and high quality. 

I wouldn't say that my kid loved every toy equally, or even that they are better at keeping her playing independently compared to other toys. However, the convenience + quality is the main draw for me personally since some of the things I've gotten from Amazon have been a little disappointing, quality wise. I'm currently on the fence with continuing my subscription since she's been in daycare for nearly half a year now, and we've gotten all our prepaid boxes. 

Our child has been subscribed since she was a year old, albeit gifted from a grandparent.

It’s great…for the most part. Our child plays with about half the supplied toys while the rest eventually get played with or outright ignored.
 

The issue we have is space and what to do once they are well passed interest and use. We’ve thrown some out, donated. But it can become a headache. We are now at 3 years of age and I’m relaying to my parent to stop subscribing now that we are in preschool. There’s just not enough time during the week to justify the cost and constantly reorganizing to find space.

But overall they’ve been wonderful and thoughtful wooden Montessori style toys…and they look great displayed in her room!  

I was initially skeptical but after seeing some of the toys at a friend’s, decided to try it. Short answer is we LOVE it! The toys are high quality, beautiful, and endlessly fun for our little one. We’ve only become more impressed as time goes on as we see how cleverly everything is designed to work together so you can keep repurposing components of old toys to use in the newer toys, and how they are designed to have more complicated uses down the line. I thought the subscription was a bit of a splurge, but overall  I’ve been really happy with the value of the sets. 
 

Two side notes: 1) at the advice of a friend, we set our kid’s age 2 months ahead (so we get the boxes a bit early). Developmentally some of the toys are way too advanced, but some he’s ready for, and it’s nice to have the option to start using them as soon as he shows interest. And 2) re your idea of passing the toys along after 3 months, keep in mind that the sets do build on each other, so you might instead want to buy a full set from a kid several years older or try to sell all yours in a few years.

Hi there! Our baby is 11 months and we’d love to buy your passdowns!

We subscribed to Lovevery for a while (from The Senser kit through The Observer kit) and liked it. I probably wouldn’t have signed up if it hadn’t been for the pandemic, but we were impressed enough to keep going even after toy stores reopened. It’s not cheap, and it’s a little Instagram-cutesy for my taste, but overall I was pleasantly surprised by the quality and the thoughtful curation of the toys.

There were always at least a couple that were of big hits with my daughter, and often it wasn’t what I would have guessed or chosen myself. Several of the toys come with suggestions for new ways to play with them as your kid grows up, and they do last, which I appreciate. I also *very much* appreciated having developmentally appropriate boxes just appear at my door when I was deep in the weeds of sleep deprivation and toddler care.

Eventually we found that too many kit items were duplicating things we already had, and it stopped being worth it for us. But if we’d been less lucky with gifts from family & friends, I could easily see still subscribing.

My in-laws subscribed to Lovevery for my first kid. It was a great way for them to gift toys without them being meaningless and cheap toys. They have held up very well and we are starting to pull them back out for my second kid. I do like that we don't have to think about buying toys! But I would say it's less worth it after about age 3ish. Their interests become more influenced by friends, school, tv, etc. So you end up buying extra toys at around 3 anyways. And then you have double toys, which I don't need for my small house. 

Tiny earth toys is a great option for toy rental. They are also recommended by age/stage. Many of the toys are more authentically Montessori than lovevery, and you get to pick which toys you get. Also there is the always the option to buy anything you want to keep.
