The bears are made on request. Customization based on weight and length of the born baby. In addition, the bear is also personalized. For these reasons it is not possible to return the bear. The right of withdrawal does not apply to custom-made products. Exchange or return is unfortunately not possible.

It is possible that your Birth Bear may look different if you order multiple Birth Bears, as this is a custom-made product and various seamstresses create our Birth Bears. As a workshop, we are constantly evolving, and in this process, adjustments are made to the bear. Because of this, a recently ordered Birth Bear may show slight differences compared to a bear ordered earlier or as shown in our images. These differences are on a detail level. Every Birth Bear is unique!

Yes, of course! We strive to ensure that all bears receive a quality check to meet the high standard that Birth Bear delivers. In our workshop there are experienced seamstresses who do the first quality check. When packing, the bears are measured again and weighed on a calibrated scale. Each bear is given a unique number and a photo is taken of the bear. We store this unique combination in our database.

Weight: The bear's weight is accurately measured on a calibrated scale. The bear is weighed in a final check. As soon as the bear leaves us, it can deviate minimally from the calibrated weight due to transport, weather, moisture, etc. This is unavoidable and is known to us.

Measure length: We use the patterns for the right size bear. We measure it empty and then again before it is shipped. We use our own, very secure, measuring method. It is possible that the bear shrinks or expands slightly due to, for example, shipping, shifting of the contents or the way in which the bear is handled.

Oops, that's not okay. We are happy to solve this for you. We can help you the fastest if you send an email to info@birthbear.com. It is then useful to immediately state which order it concerns. For this we need: order number / bear number including photos of the bear.

The legal guarantee applies to the bears that Birth Bear sells. Legal guarantee means that a product is or must do what the consumer can reasonably expect from it.

The aim is that the bear will last a lifetime due to the high-quality finish and high quality standard of our end product. An important note here is that the product is handled in all reasonableness

The bear is NOT a toy! We absolutely want to emphasize that the bear cannot function as a toy. The bear may not be taken in a cot, crib or playpen.

No, your Birth Bear cannot be washed in the washing machine and it is also not recommended to wash it by hand. Birth Bear is not a toy, so be careful with the bear's fur.

Yes of course you can cuddle with the Birth Bear. It is important that the bear stays clean in order to enjoy a clean bear for as long as possible. Some stains can no longer be removed and do not lift the bear by it's head.

Advice is to handle the bear as you would a baby. Good support for the buttocks, head and legs. Do not lift the bear by arms, legs, head or ears. Don't throw the bear, the bear can't stand that.
