This post contains affiliate links Austin Lloyd is a subscription box for children newborn to age 3. Each month, your child gets 4-5 educational toys and at least 1 book. The toys are bpa and phthalate free and they are unique, high end toys, that you will not find at most stores. You will never get toys with batteries. The toys are also chosen to improve fine motor and cognitive skills. Each box is designed for the play level of the child. Austin Lloyd has a breakdown of child development on their website. You choose the play level that fits best for you child. The box is $49.99 a month, but you can choose to go every other month too. Austin Lloyd also has a donation feature. Once you are done with the toys, and are ready to get rid of them, Austin Lloyd will send you a prepaid shipping label. You mail the toys back, and they will donate them to their partnering charities. My youngest son has been getting Austin Lloyd for a few months, and we really love it. I love using Austin Lloyd to gather birthday presents for T. Since T is my second child, it is harder to buy for him, as we have so many toys from my first. I think it’s important for T to have new toys and not just hand me downs. Austin Lloyd sends great unique toys and books. All of them have been well received by T. I still have some held back for his birthday next month, and I am excited to for him to see all his great toys. The Details: Cost: 1 Month $49.99 3 Months $ 49.99 per month 6 Months: $44.99 per month Play Levels: 0-5 Months Continue Reading
