FAQS
Our list of the most common questions we get asked about our Australian made baby products:
Yes, at Kit & Cradle all our baby clothes and kids clothes are made in Australia using Australian made fabric. For more on our process, check out our story here.
When the Canadian Broadcasting Corporation had 38 pieces of children’s clothing tested from the ultra-fast-fashion brands Zaful, AliExpress, and Shein, it found that one in five had elevated levels of toxic chemicals such as lead, PFAS, and phthalates. It is mind-blowing to think that the products that our precious babies wear can often contain such toxic chemicals. Are these brands created for pure profit OR are they crafted with a love for children?
At Kit & Cradle, we believe in making a positive difference in our community and our brand was born from a love of our children and respect for the environment. We also have a deep respect for the skills and resources required to make baby clothes and we've always chosen quality over quantity.
According to recent Roy Morgan research, if every household spent an additional $10 a week on Australian Made products, it would inject an extra $5 billion into the economy each year and create up to 11,000 new jobs.
We hope by taking these small steps that we can create a brighter future for our babies.

The best clothes for a newborn baby include those made from breathable fabrics such as cotton that is gentle on delicate skin. At Kit & Cradle, we use organic cotton which is free from pesticides and is a superior natural material.
We recommend the following clothes for newborns:
Full Bodysuit Romper - These are perfect for anytime of the year. They keep baby warm and protected, yet not too hot. They contain a backing behind the zipper to avoid any snags, and are made from 100% organic cotton.
Singlet Bodysuit - These are perfect for the warmer months, and great for layering in the cooler months. This singlet is perfect under a swaddle or blanket on those warmer, humid days.
Long Sleeve Bodysuits - Perfect for keeping bub snug during the cooler months yet making it easy for nappy changes and mix and matching.
Kit & Cradle baby gift sets like the New Arrival Set make unique baby shower gifts as they feature exclusive Aussie artist drawn designs that are printed and made in Australia. There are no other prints like our hand drawn Whale, Protea or Wattle. Kit & Cradle clothing is organic, high quality, thoughtful, and gift-worthy.
