from 228 reviewsThis is my second purchase from North&Nova and I will keep coming back. Incredible quality item and larger than anticipated. This chair will grow with my toddler and hopefully be used for years to come. Really happy with my purchase. Also, amazing customer service. I had questions about my pre-order and Roma (owner/founder) was quick to respond.
My 2 year old absolutely loves this and rides around the house on it all day. It’s beautiful and fun, perfect for us!!
We purchased this for our SLP and OT clinic and it has been LOVED by many ages and stages. We also love that you can fold it and put it away! Brilliant!
We purchased this for our SLP and OT clinic and it has been LOVED by many ages and stages. Our other kids use it as a proprioception tool and will rock on it while our younger ones use it as a climber or for crashing/crawling underneath. Highly recommend.
Amazing, great quality. The only limitation is your little one's imagination!
In love with this ball pit! My little one is only 3 months old but this is a great toy to grow with him. Very soft, high quality leather material.
This climber is such great quality, and my girls ranging from baby to 4 all love it. It also looks so dreamy in our space. Will be buying more of these products.
They're steering wheels, pillows, drums, giant buttons, tires, a Frisbee, a footstool. Ideal for practicing balance but we loving thinking of new ways to play with the steppers!
Non-toxic, Easy to clean, hours of fun. What more do you really need? Oh, yeah Roma (the founder) is perfect, too.
This tent is super cute! I love that it can be rolled up and that it doesn’t take up a crazy amount of space. It’s much larger than I had anticipated.. a nice surprise. Looking forward to personalising the tent with our favourite shop themes!
The stackers are a fun size and exciting addition to our playpen! The colours are beautiful and they stack so well! We are so happy with our purchase!
The colour is beautiful and the foam pieces are firm and feel high quality! Overall very happy with our purchase!
Love these! Purchased for my youngest's first birthday, but even my older kids love playing with them! They're so soft but stack without toppling too easily, they're easy to clean, and such gorgeous color! Very happy with them! :)
This kids play tent is absolutely beautiful! The fabric feels high quality, the setup was super easy, and it looks so aesthetic in our space. My daughter loves using it for imaginative play, reading, and quiet time. It’s the perfect mix of functional and stylish — definitely worth it!
The only thing my son loves more than stacking these is running through a tower to knock them down! These are cute, soft, and wipeable which I love!
