Questions
What do I really need for a newborn in South Africa?
The basics are somewhere safe to sleep, a car seat for the trip home, nappies and wipes, clothes, and something to bath baby in. Strollers, carriers and storage make life easier but can come later.
Is this checklist free?
Yes. Tick what you still need, see the total for the items we stock, and share your list on WhatsApp. Nothing is saved on our side; your ticks stay in your browser.
How much is delivery?
Baby & Kids items are couriered from Johannesburg. Enter your city and postal code at checkout to see the live courier price for your address before you pay. Delivery usually takes 3–7 business days.
