Great, trustworthy experience

Lydia M

Great deals, easy checkout with lots of payment options, shipped very quickly, and everything was packed well and looked exactly as it was described! I didn't end up needing any intervention with my shipping experience but appreciate the option to cover lost packages for a minimal fee, especially as we get into the late and lost package holiday season. I'll definitely be getting more of my baby gear from Kidsy.

Was just as described

Quick response

Shelli F.

Ordered a gate prior to this one, UPS lost it on route. I reached out to Kidsy via email and they secured a refund from UPS. Was hesitant to order again, but I couldn't find the gate at a more reasonable price. 2nd order arrived with no issues. Gate is sturdy and the dog (Husky) hasn't gotten through it (he's an escape artist). Quick delivery from start to finish.

I appreciated the detailed description, I knew I was getting a floor model and it came in perfect shape at a much reduced cost.

Kidsy Customer Service Review

Josh Radcliff

Kidsy had a great selection of deeply discounted baby gates. Unfortunately, there was a piece missing when I received my package. I didn't realize it until after the 14 day return/exchange window. But I reached out, and they were willing to send me the piece anyway at no extra charge. I really appreciated the customer service.

So easy to use

Website is easy to use, items are great quality, and shipping is fast.

Source Threads

  • User asks if RideSafer Travel Vest is as safe as forward-facing harness; consensus says yes with proper use

    Actually the RSTV is a belt-positioning device (booster) and a harness- it restrains the child at the shoulders. The vests are tested and meet FMVSS 213. They are considered safe and when used correctly are viewed as equivalently safe as a forward-facing harness.
