Shopping for clothes probably isn’t top of mind with a newborn at home. However, when the weather changes and you’re in need of certain items, Dopple’s subscription service can come in handy. Dopple subscribers receive shipments four times a year, so you have appropriate outfits ready to wear for each season. Plus, there’s an option to order additional boxes if you need more outfits more often.

To get started, take Dopple’s quick and easy style quiz. This questionnaire is what the company’s expert stylists use to ensure you receive the best clothing items for your child’s age, gender, and size, while also factoring in your preferences for style and budget. Each delivery contains four to 15 pieces, depending on the plan you choose. You can opt to keep as many or as few of them as you like. If you want to buy all the items in your shipment, you’ll receive a discount. Returns and shipping are free throughout the U.S., plus you can pause or cancel your membership as you please.

Dopple’s three box sizes include:

• Four to six items (about one outfit plus accessories)
• Seven to nine items (about two outfits plus accessories)
• 10 to 15 items

Dopple carries more than 500 brands, including both designer and boutique names. It has sizes ranging from newborn to 14Y.

Note: You can view all the play kits on the company’s website.

When signing up for Lovevery, you enter your child’s age and then the service recommends the most age-appropriate play kit for your first shipment. If you want to try any of the previous boxes, you have the option to add them to your order.

The Lovevery kits costs between $80 and $120 and ship every two to three months. To save up to $40, you can pay for three or four kits at once. Shipping is free everywhere in the U.S.
