KiwiCo pioneered the STEM subscription box and their Panda Crate (0-24 months) brings that expertise to babies. Each bimonthly crate includes board books, soft toys, wooden toys, and activity cards. Developed with child development experts, it's developmentally sequenced but uses more mixed materials than Lovevery (textiles, some plastics, cardboard). At ~/month, it's roughly half the cost of Lovevery. The variety means babies get more "stuff" but with slightly less premium feel. Safety standards are rigorous. KiwiCo's ecosystem extends through school age (Koala, Kiwi, Tinker, Doodle crates), making it a long-term relationship.
