Our items are not designed to be teethers for your child with sore gums or those cutting teeth. If your child needs relief from teething, please use appropriate teethers.

We understand you know your child best and advise ADULT SUPERVISION AT ALL TIMES. Your presence during play is the most effective way to ensure your child is safe.

Are NavyBaby items compliment with safety regulations?
Items of concern at NavyBaby Ltd have been tested by an outsourced accredited Laboratory to meet the standard set as stated in:
AS/NZS 8124.1:2023 Part 1: Safety aspects related to mechanical and physical properties. 

This means, not only have our toys been tested to make sure they are of the correct size, they have also been through several other necessary testing procedures including; Drop Test, Tension Test, Torque Test, Compression Test, Small Parts Test.

All tested items conform and comply. Compliance with the requirements will not, nor is it intended to, eliminate parental responsibility in the appropriate selection of toys. In addition, this part of ISO 8124 will not eliminate the need for parental supervision in situations where children of various ages may have access to the same toy(s).

Are the items safe?
Heuristic, loose part play items are real world objects and therefore we advise all play to be supervised by an adult at all times.
Additional to the safety testing requirements (above), our items have been checked for quality assurance when packed. Please ensure all objects are checked again prior to use (in the chance of shipping damage) and are continually monitored for general wear and tear reasons. If you feel any items are currently not suitable for your child/ren then please remove them and reintroduce at a time more appropriate. For a closer look into our items click here.

What age is best for heuristic play?
Our Heuristic Sets and Loose Parts are suitable for infants who are grasping, right up to 36 months of age and beyond. Many clients purchase products before 4 months as the items can be used as visual play when baby is having floor time (after all looking is learning). Be sure to check out the descriptions on each product for a sure direction.



How do I know what to give my baby first?
Each Set has a great description to guide your choice. The Baby's First Set has been designed for the newly grasping infant. Continue to introduce more items and increase the collection accessible to your child. Its important you feel comfortable with what your child is playing with, if you feel any items are currently not suitable for your child/ren then please remove them and reintroduce at a time more appropriate.

What should I buy my older toddler?
We recommend firstly having a foundation of open ended items as a base for your child’s play. We then suggest looking at ‘multiples’ (eg 5 wooden buttons instead of 1). This provides more complex opportunities for a toddler/pre-schooler to create, transform and utilise as props in play. Our Wooden Blocks are also a very popular addition to multiple loose parts for older children.

What items will I get in my Set?
Each Set description lists the items included so each customer can ensure they know what they are getting. Please note that some items are differing in colour to those that are photographed. You will also receive a NavyBaby safety card and information pamphlet.

Do you ship internationally?
At this stage we ship to Australia. There is a minimum spend of $48.00 and your parcel will be sent with NZ Post tracked or un-tracked. Prices will appear via the checkout. Please note; processing times can take up to 5 business days before your order will be sent. 

I'm purchasing for a gift, do you add personalised messages?
