ToyDash vs. Lovevery

Updated April 2026 · Written by Trystan Barnes

Bottom Line Up Front Lovevery sends you a beautifully-curated box of toys that you own every 2–3 months for $36–$80 per shipment. ToyDash is a rental library: you pick your own toys, we deliver weekly or biweekly for $19–$39/month, and we pick them up when you’re done. If you want to own heirloom-quality toys and don’t mind storing them, Lovevery. If you want continuous rotation without clutter and lower monthly cost, ToyDash.

The fundamental difference

Lovevery is a subscription box — you buy and keep the toys. ToyDash is a subscription rental — toys rotate back. That’s the core model difference, and it drives everything else.

With Lovevery, after a year you have 4–6 play kits sitting in your house. Some your kid still plays with, some got moved to a bin, some are in the donation pile. With ToyDash, after a year you’ve rotated through 50+ unique toys and currently have 4–12 at home for your current cycle.

Where Lovevery wins

National availability. Lovevery ships to your door anywhere in the US. ToyDash is currently only in Southern Utah.
Ownership. If you value keeping toys for a future sibling or passing them down, Lovevery’s model works.
Research-backed curation. Lovevery’s kits are designed by child development specialists. Each kit is age-staged.
Aesthetics. Lovevery is known for beautiful wooden toys that look nice in your home.

Where ToyDash wins

Lower monthly cost. $19/month vs. $36–$80 per Lovevery box.
You pick. Instead of getting what’s in the box, you choose what your kid gets next. If your 2-year-old obsesses over vehicles, you queue vehicles.
Variety. You rotate through dozens of toys per year instead of owning 4–6.
Zero clutter. When the cycle ends, the toys leave. Your playroom stays manageable.
Environmental impact. A single shared toy cycling through many families beats buying 20 new plastic toys.

Which is right for your family?

Pick Lovevery if you love the idea of heirloom wooden toys you keep, you have the storage space, you trust expert curation, and you’re outside the ToyDash service area.

Pick ToyDash if you want active rotation, hate clutter, want control over what your kid plays with next, want to reduce plastic waste, and live in St. George, Washington, Ivins, Santa Clara, or Hurricane, Utah.

You can also combine the two: keep Lovevery for owned items, use ToyDash for the constant rotation.

Is Lovevery worth it?
