I’ve been wearing Quince clothes, and enjoying Quince’s home products like bedding and towels in my new house, but what about the baby and toddler line?
If you’ve seen ads or heard about Quince’s products for babies and toddlers, I’ll let you in on a secret: the hype is real, and the stuff is worth it.
In this review, check out the things we tried for our baby (now a toddler) from Quince’s products for little ones, and learn about all the reasons why I’m standing by Quince as a baby brand.
Key takeaways from this review
- We tried several varied products from Quince’s baby and toddler products.
- See what we think about all of them and how they’ve held up over time.
- Quince makes even more products for babies and toddlers, from clothes to accessories, bedding, blankets, backpacks and more.
- Do I recommend Quince for their baby and toddler collection? See my final thoughts on if you should add Quince to your list of essential baby or toddler brands.
Products we tried initially
My first trial with Quince baby and kids products was only from a few categories: (I review these below)
- Recycled Lunch Box
- Baby/Toddler Bamboo Sleep Bag (All Seasons, 1.0 TOG)
- Recycled Double Pocket Backpack - Small
- Recycled Double Pocket Backpack - Medium
Then, several months later, I got some newly launched baby/toddler products both for our toddler and our baby on the way:
- Organic Turkish Cotton Baby Bath Bundle 8-Pack
- 100% Cotton Poplin Tiered Dress, just like Mommy’s!
- Sunsafe Rash Guard, Swim Trunks & Hat Set for Baby Boy, 0-3m
How’s it all working out?
I’ll go product by product to let you know how these Quince baby and toddler products are going for us.
Recycled Toddler Lunch Box
Rating: 5/5. We love it. We send it to our daughter’s school every single day of the week with her lunch inside. It has held up for about a year and a half now.
We make use of all the pockets, from the spoon pocket (fits a flat-ish child spoon and sometimes also a fork, depending on how flat they are). The front zip pocket is also nice to have, for whatever is random that we want to have available to us, like an extra plastic bag or a rubber band for wrapping something messy.
Inside, this toddler lunch box is easy to clean (we wipe it down with a cloth, or slosh around some soapy water and then leave it to dry overnight). And on the outside, the top grab handle is adjustable with a buckle that would let you attach it to the outside of luggage or a backpack.
The one complaint: one of the zipper pulls broke off within the first year and I had to tie a knot with the loop pulls. That’s all. These things get a lot of daily wear from us as toddler parents.
Baby & Toddler Bamboo Sleep Bag
I’ve seen a lot about the Quince baby and toddler sleep sacks (”Bamboo Sleep Bags”) online. I’ve seen them compared to the Kyte Baby sleep sacks, in other reviews, and I didn’t even think of making the comparison.
The Quince baby and toddler sleep sacks come in three levels of TOG (thickness and warmth) and in four sizes, XS-L (but for the Spring-Summer sack, “XS” is not available for some reason).
Price
Price-wise, Quince is where you’d win, if you want to get all new sleep bags for your baby. Quince compares their bamboo sleep bags to those from Gunamuna (known for being pricy but a “good investment”), Kyte Baby, Mori and Posh Peanut, noting savings from 27% to 61% when compared to the retail prices for the same TOG-level of product from these brands.
I have to talk about the sizing, though!
Sizing
Quince provides a baby and toddler sleep sack size chart, which I referenced. Since starting sleep sacks with our baby, I’ve found it more helpful to go by the child’s length/height rather than weight, when determining which sleep sack size is appropriate.
I ordered a size M (29-35 inches), the summer our baby was about 8 months, not knowing the rate at which babies really grow, and as it turns out, she’s sizing into this at age 2.
I think the main gist of the sizing of Quince baby sleep bags is that they work with 4-inch increments, rather than 3, which I’m accustomed to with brands like HALO (* and I stand corrected, because HALO’s official size chart has some sizes in a 3-inch increment, and some with 4 or even 5 inches). I still think they run “kind of big.” Nothing wrong with that.
Regardless, it seemed to me that Quince’s sleep bags ran long, but it’s really just that I had an uninformed perception of which size my child would need, and when. Sure enough, she’ll be using it soon because we got the All Seasons 1.0 TOG.
Quality
The quality on the all seasons style we received is really buttery soft, with a nice zipper and (very important to us) a fold-over flap to keep the zipper out of a child’s mouth and tucked in or hidden. I like the weight of the 1.0 TOG and of course, the Granite Green color choice is perfect for both our daughter and our baby boy on the way.
Baby & Kids Recycled Double Pocket Backpack
We got the Recycled Double Pocket Backpack in two sizes: Small, and Medium. Of course, our daughter is a toddler and can’t carry a kid-sized backpack on her own, but we use the size Medium as her daily daycare bag, in which we put her coat, water bottle and matching lunch box!
Note: the color of the backpack you see here was discontinued shortly before I wrote this review; there are new colors in stock to choose for both boys and girls!
Things I like:
- Double water bottle pockets (Super important, for her water bottle and as a stash pocket for things like toddler gloves or a rolled-up tote bag!)
- Back laptop compartment: of course our toddler doesn’t use a laptop, but we use this pocket to safely store papers or reports from her teachers. We also have some secret sticker pages stored in there - shh!
- Organizer panel in the inside: while we’re not really using this book bag for pens or writing accessories, I sometimes put small items in the pockets within the organizer panel.
- Very adjustable straps: As both Dan and I use this backpack, depending on who’s getting our child from school, we can quickly adjust the straps on the backpack and there are even little loops to keep the strap adjustments tidy.
- Bonus: this backpack is meant for TRAVEL! There’s a luggage sleeve on the back, so that you could stack it on a rolling suitcase like the Quince Kids Carry-On Suitcase.
Should parents shop for Quince baby and toddler products?
I say yes, and here’s why: I just like Quince a lot. By this point, you’ve probably read my Quince home collection review, my Quince maternity line review and my roundup of the best gifts from Quince. Maybe you even came across my Quince suitcase review, for travel.
Quince makes shopping easy, and that’s exactly what I’m looking for, because I’m a busy parent. Shopping on Amazon makes me tired and uneasy, with too many products for any given search query, and lots of reviews to read through.
Shopping at Quince, as I’ve done now for home goods, women’s clothing, menswear (Dan tried the Quince button-down shirts!) and even our cookware for the kitchen, is kind of a relaxing experience. The prices are fair, the sizes are straightforward, the checkout and purchasing is a breeze and the styles are all agreeable. What’s not to like?
I’m a fan of the products we’ve tried from Quince so far, and with those prices that can’t be beat, I’m even hesitant to shop elsewhere if I can just find it at Quince for my toddler or preparing for our baby on the way.
What else do I want to try from Quince’s baby and toddler line?
Of course I have my eyes on more from Quince for the baby and toddler collection that’s growing all the time. It’s very cute, not to mention timeless, which is something I want in baby clothes: both for looking back on photos and knowing I dressed my children well, as well as items that one child can wear, and the next one can too (a few years later).
Toddler bedding
Soon, my toddler is going to size into a toddler bed and we’ll need bedding. I’m enjoying perusing the Quince toddler quilts and sets, like the European Linen Toddler Quilt and Sham Set.
Baby blankets
Oh my goodness, the Quince cashmere baby blankets are just so sweet. They come in cable knit and cashmere pointelle. If youv’e seen my Quince cashmere review, that’s the ticket to finding out how Quince makes cashmere so affordable.
Baby girl & Baby boy products
Among the baby products from Quince, there’s wearable blankets like the sleep bags, pajamas, dresses, sweaters, sweatshirts, jackets and outerwear, bodysuits, bottoms, socks and accessories like bibs.
It’s all really precious, minimal, classic and easy on the eyes (especially with those adorable model photos).
New arrivals
Sometimes I check the New Arrivals page for the Baby & Kids section to see what has just been launched. Right now I’m seeing PJs, polos, sweaters, hats and one-piece pajamas. If you’d rather look at Best Sellers, you’ll find Quince fan favorites like the cashmere baby sets, baby towel sets, crib sheets, jean jackets, hoodies, backpacks, vests and more.
Where to get Quince baby and toddler
The baby and toddler collection is only available at the Quince website. That’s right: Quince is currently not sold anywhere else, because of how the brand is a direct-to-consumer company.
One more tip for shopping Quince baby/toddler products
Quince is still a relatively new brand, doing a LOT of volume because of the fast popularity. My tip for shopping and having the best luck from Quince’s baby and toddler lines is to shop for in-season items while they’re in season. What this means is shop for bathing suits when summer is coming, and shop for winter sweaters during winter.
I was trying to nail down a toddler dress for my daughter and found that lots of colors and prints were out of stock in her size, likely because the season had passed. Similarly, shopping during winter for baby and toddler swimwear yielded lots of out-of-stock sizes or colors. It’s best to shop in-season or pre-season for Quince products, rather than post-season.
Quince sales?
Quince has sales infrequently, and you’ll never really see items on sale within the website. I’m pretty sure there is no “sale section.” That’s because Quince is a low-margin brand, meaning you’re already getting a good deal on what you have in your cart.
The company does host sales a few times a year, especially around Black Friday (keep an eye out!).
