Shop by age

Every stage has different problems. Start where you are — or if you're buying a gift, aim one stage ahead.

Folded muslin swaddles, sound machine and knitted lovey in soft morning light

STAGE ONE

Expecting & newborn

0–3 months. This stage is about sleep, feeding and skin. You need more muslin than you think, something that helps with settling, and a routine gentle enough for newborn skin.

Silicone stacking toys, teether and muslin bib on a soft play mat

STAGE TWO

Rolling, grabbing, teething

3–12 months. Everything goes in the mouth, so silicone and washable fabrics earn their place. This is teether, bib and floor-quilt territory.

Wooden Montessori climbing triangle and step stool in an airy playroom

STAGE THREE

Walking, climbing, testing

1–2 years. Every boundary gets tested. This is when open-ended toys start earning their cost per use, and when gear that folds down for travel becomes worth the money.

Wooden play kitchen, art easel and dollhouse in a bright play corner

STAGE FOUR

Pretend play & first drawings

2–5 years. Toys get more complex and play gets more imaginative. Booster seats and packable gear become a real consideration once travel starts again.

Buying a gift? Aim one stage ahead

Everyone buys newborn size, and it fits for about three weeks. Buy for the stage after the one they're in and it gets used for months.
