Have been using this as my baby bag and it works so well! Love that it has a flat base and can stay upright in its own when put down. This might be an unpopular opinion but I much prefer it over a back pack as it’s easier to access everything, if you want to be neat and organised can get an insert or pouches to put in. Overall love, might even buy a second when they release a new colour.
Little guy looks so cute (and grown up) in this tee!
Great little store for our little ones wardrobe! Love our new cosy sweater!
Absolutely love this hat! I bought this hat as its wide brim and wanted something cute that would also be sun smart. Keen to buy more colours and also would love a matching one myself! Wide brim please xxx
This bonnet is just gorgeous and was the perfect finishing touch to our baby girls announcement photo shoot! The quality is excellent and very roomy, this the ties it can fit a wider range of baby head sizes without looking oversized for those littler babies.

Saving skirt for summer days
Love our Juni Jacket more than we could have expected! Its soft fleece lining is perfect for winter and our little one loves that it has pockets (also lined for cold fingers!). Shipping from Bay Kids was so fast too!
The Seaside Daisy Overalls are so soft, comfy, and perfect for all seasons! Easy to layer in cooler weather or wear on their own in summer. Such a beautiful, versatile piece. I love them!
This mobile is exactly what i wanted. It has been beautifully made, the quality is fantastic, with the stitching and details on the pieces really well done. It's also soft and light so hanging it was super easy. The dinosaurs are so cute and colourful and the clouds and leaves add the perfect little whimsical touch.
"Absolutely obsessed with the Little Loud Pant in Mustard from Sunday Siblings! These are not just pants; they're a statement. The colour is incredibly vibrant and adds such a fun pop to any outfit. My little one looks adorable and stylish, and I love how they stand out. Plus, they seem super comfy, which is a huge win. Highly recommend for parents who want their kids to look good and feel great!
Love this jacket & love supporting small business. The girls are extremely helpful 🩷

Obsessed with my daughter’s new Zulu’s! Found it hard to decide which colour but the purple is so sweet! Such beautiful quality, she will be living in these this summer 💜
Absolutely love these bathers from Zulu and Zephyr pretty much all I put my kids in! Buying from Bay Kids is such a beautiful and easy experience from start to finish! The customer service is incredible and most of the time if I pay express my order is delivered the next day if I buy early enough which is incredible! Such a gorgeous range of items and the best service! 10/10 recommend! X
Fast Shipping !! Great quality set.
Loved this tee but unfortunately had to exchange it for another from the same brand but in a size 2. This one was in a size 6-12m but it's quite cropped - bubs is 4months and it's almost a crop top on him. I would look at the measurements before purchasing to make sure the fit is accurate for your little one. But the size 2 is great now for an oversized look and he has room to grow into it too.
Absolutely obsessed with this set! So so cute and cosy for winter! Couldn’t be happier with the service and site either! So easy and fast 10/10! Cannot wait to shop here again! X
Love these jeans so much I had to get a matching sibling pair! Very comfy and soft fabric, I only wish it came in my size haha. Also found they run a bit small, my daughter has a size 5-6 (she's 5yrs old) and they look like they will be too short for her next season so I bought my 2yr old a size 3 and rolled them up which I prefer that look. They fit perfectly in the waist on both my skinny minis and elastic is more tight then stretchy.
We adore these pants, they are SO SO Cute!! Appreciate the quick delivery and amazing service. Soph x
