When two becomes three, it's not about remodeling the whole home, but more about getting the home ready for the new family member. With IKEA starter kits for new parents, both you and your home will be ready! A few selected solutions will make your everyday life as a family a little safer, smoother and more organized. 

1 + 1 = 3... at least in our equation! When parents have to make room for a new, admittedly very small, person, it can be difficult to know what is needed. But you know what, it doesn't take as much as you might think. 

IKEA has developed different starter packs for growing families, so you can start with what you feel is most necessary, and then add what you need as you go along. At IKEA, it is both easy and convenient to click home what your family needs as time goes by, or swing by one of the stores if you need something new at this very moment! Whether you're the more organized parent who likes to stay one step ahead, or the one who spontaneously buys a playmat the day you realize it would be great to have, IKEA is here for you. With affordable and quality-assured products that are tailored to your growing family - through all stages of childhood. 

So, what is included in a starter kit at IKEA? We suggest you start with: 

Cot, SUNDVIK, 1795 kr

Designed to grow with your baby, this crib works from newborn to 4 years old and is a favorite of families around the world!

Changing table, SUNDVIK, 2495 kr and/or changing mat, CAREFUL, 99 kr

A changing table can be a good option if you have the space for it, where you can store everything from pharmacy products to diapers (it takes a lot in the early days!), washcloths, towels, creams and other things needed for the baby. If you don't have space for a changing table, you can also use just a changing mat, which can be easily moved around the house and allows you to change on the bed or bathroom floor!

Bath tub, SLOW, 99 kr

You can use a bath tub for your child from newborn until the child sits and plays and splashes in it even during preschool age!

Products that can make your life easier as a growing family, either from the start or as you go along: 

Breastfeeding pillows, LEN, 299 kr

A breastfeeding pillow will be a nice relief at feeding times during the baby's first months of life.

Baby gym, YELLOWEST, 399 kr

A baby gym is a great place to put your baby down for a while right from birth, but from around 4 weeks old, babies usually like to lie in a baby gym to watch all the exciting things happening above them. The baby gym is perfect for neck training too!

Washcloths, KRAMA, 49 kr

Buying a set of washcloths is something that most parents-to-be are advised to do. These can be used for everything from changing diapers to baths, laundry, scrubber cleaning and vomit parties!

IKEA has everything you need both for the start of your family life, and through the rest of your life. Our goal is to be there for all families and to support them with the best products and solutions for each family.
