Finnish Baby Box

Hi All,

I've recently found out i am pregnant - hurray!

For my two older children in the early newborn stage I used a finnish baby box for my newbie to sleep in. I ordered it from Helsinki from a company specialising in baby boxes. Their business was bought out and I now cant find anywhere that I can get one.

I loved using them as they were such space savers and easy to move around the house (obviously not with the baby in it!). Our original box has taken a bit of a battering now and just wouldnt be suitable or clean enough for a newborn.

Any idea of where I could get one in the UK or delivered here? When I look online it seems either the Finnish government do them but only to finnish residents or there seem to be suppliers in Japan or Korea but they don't seem to ship abroad.

Help!!

Everyone in Scotland gets them OP. Do you know anyone Scottish with a second baby who might give you their box?

We get them here in Scotland, I just recieved my second one, the first one is still I the cupboard too. Is it the contents or just the actual box you're after?

Apparently the Scottish boxes are easily found on eBay...

This is amazing! I had no idea scotland had them. I'm in hertfordshire so I wouldnt automatically get one.

Yes its the box I'm after really as I have plenty of baby clothes from by original. We're short on space so I dont need to buy anything but thought this baby should have a refresh box!

Thnks so much for the links - I knew the wisdom here would help!

I'm happy to send you one of mine if you civet postage... not sure how much it would vidt but as an empty box with just the matress it shouldn't be too bad.

... not even gonna try and fix all those typos, got a 14 month old sprawled over me asleep and his sister is booting him from the inside (37 weeks pregnant) 🤣🤣

I'm happy to send you the new one if you cover postage or arrange pick up/courier etc.

Thanks so much but I dont have anywhere to store it at the moment. We are incredibly short on space - which is why the baby boxes work so well for us. I'm not due until November but was just looking into what my options might be.

Very grateful for the offer though x
