Ship Baby and Kids Products from India
Where FirstCry, Hopscotch or another Indian baby store cannot deliver to your country, order to your free Indian address instead and we forward everything to you — combined, so a pram and a month of clothes ship as one parcel.
Can I order from FirstCry to my Indian address? Yes. Use your India Rabbit address in Kerala at checkout — FirstCry treats it as a normal Kerala delivery.
Why parents abroad shop Indian stores
Indian baby and kids ranges are far cheaper than the equivalent abroad, and some things simply are not sold outside India — traditional wear for a naming ceremony, Malayalam picture books, Indian-brand baby oils and toiletries families already trust. FirstCry, Hopscotch, Amazon.in and Flipkart each set their own rules on delivery abroad, and those rules vary by item and destination.
What people order
Clothing and shoes in bulk while sizes are cheap, traditional and festival wear for ceremonies, toys and Indian-language learning material, baby toiletries and oils, feeding and nursery accessories, and school supplies.
Buy ahead, ship once
Children grow fast, so parents tend to buy the next two sizes up during a sale. Order across several shops over a few weeks, let it collect at our warehouse, and ship it all together — one shipping charge instead of five.
What to know before ordering
Anything with a battery cannot be shipped, so choose toys that work without one. Baby food and formula is treated as food and is restricted or prohibited in several destinations. Ask us before ordering either.
Questions
Can I ship baby formula or baby food?
Usually not. Most destinations restrict or prohibit imported baby food and formula, and Australia in particular enforces this strictly. Check with us before ordering.
What about toys with batteries?
We cannot ship anything with a battery, including battery-operated toys. Wooden toys, soft toys, puzzles and board games are fine.
Is it actually cheaper than buying locally?
For clothing and everyday items, usually yes once several orders are combined — which is why buying ahead and shipping once works better than ordering one item at a time.
How long can I keep adding to my order?
Thirty days free storage per parcel, so you can shop a whole sale season and send it together.
