Got a question? Please read through our frequently asked questions to find your answer.
Who are you?
We are 9plus1. A company that was founded on ethical and sustainable principles to provide your baby with a wide range of beautiful baby clothes from carefully selected brands.
What about the name?
The number ‘9’ from our company name represents 9 months - the usual duration of a pregnancy - and ‘1’ being a baby’s first year of clothing that we cater for. Of course, this depends on the size of your baby, but our sizes could fit your baby well beyond their first year!
We have plans to expand our service and this name will make even more sense when this happens! If you wish to keep informed of all our news then just choose to receive news and special offers under Personal Details in your account.
How do your subscriptions work?
Once you have chosen the subscription that suits you and your baby, then simply remember three words: Rent. Return. Repeat.
Rent: First you need to sign up and choose the subscription that suit you the best. Now you are ready to choose your clothes from our beautiful and extensive collection via our simple and elegant shop.
Return: Each order you place with us will include a return envelope so it’s so easy to return those clothes your wish to replace. You can even choose to buy the clothes you have fallen in love with if you wish.
Repeat: Yes, that’s right - each month you can repeat the process of choosing your baby’s clothes, so your wardrobe grows with your baby.
The whole process has been designed with simplicity being key. At the same time, you get to repeat the really fun bit - choosing the next set of beautiful clothes for your baby from our wide selection from our quality and ethical brands.
Is there a minimum subscription length?
No! Our subscriptions have no binding time and you can cancel at anytime.
What is included in your subscription?
Beautiful baby clothing that is prepared using our in-house bespoke laundry facility. Included with your orders is a returns envelope, which makes it super easy to send the baby clothing back to us each month so your baby’s wardrobe grows with your baby or if you simply would like an update.
Benefits of renting as the new buying?
Renting can extend the life of baby clothing by up to 15 times. So that means less unnecessary waste, which is better for us and the environment.
How much does it cost?
Our subscription service starts from as little as £39.99 per month. See our subscriptions for further information on pricing.
When can I exchange the clothes for new ones?
You can exchange the clothes once each month from the date of your initial order if you wish to do so. You don't have to change every clothing item if you decide to keep something for longer. You can also choose the buying option. You can find more information about how to exchange the clothes on the flyer added to your package.
Where do your clothes come from?
Our clothes come from a range of carefully selected and well-loved quality brands. They were not only chosen because of the beautiful clothes, but also because they are manufactured using ethical, sustainable practices and natural, organic materials that are kind to your baby, as well as the environment.
What happens to clothes that can no longer be rented?
Clothes will be upcycled and reused elsewhere and, if this is not possible, then they will be recycled and used to make new clothing. No clothing items will go to landfill.

What happens if clothes are damaged?
Don’t worry! We understand that accidents happen. For peace of mind, the clothes are fully covered by insurance, which is included with all our subscriptions. We would kindly ask that you still return the clothes to us.We are pretty good at getting stains out and, if we are unable to, we want to make sure the clothes are properly upcycled or recycled.
