We want to give you and your baby the best. This is why we stand behind everything we sell. 100%. So, if you (or your baby) are not completely satisfied with your order, neither are we. We'll make it right - from sending you a replacement to refunding you in full. Simple as that. 

SAFETY IS OUR #1 PRIORITY

All our items are designed and manufactured by The Topponcino Company to meet or exceed US-safety standards (CPSC) for babies 0-3 years old.

As recommended by the American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP), NEVER use any baby lounger or support pillow as a sleep device. NEVER use any baby lounger or support pillow unsupervised. Use the Topponcino for actively engaging with your baby during supervised holding, lounging or tummy time. It is important to be in the same room and supervising your baby when using the Topponcino. During the night, use safe crib practices and do not use your Topponcino in, or in place of a crib. Never leave your baby unsupervised. Never use in a crib or other sleep device. Never place on soft or uneven surfaces. Baby loungers and support pillows should not be used as co sleeping devices. The safest place for a baby to sleep overnight is in a crib with a fitted sheet.

Please contact us with ANY questions you may have before using a Topponcino.

Frequently asked questions

Does the Topponcino come with a cover?

Yes! All our Topponcinos come with a removable cover and an insert pillow. If you would like, you can also buy an extra cover. Most parents recommend having at least 2 covers.

What age is the Topponcino meant for?

Most families use the Topponcino as a cuddling and support pillow for the first 3-4 months. After that, they will use it as a "tummy time" play mat until their baby is 6+ months.

This Italian Montessori wonder is a widely underused baby item probably because no one knows about it! If people knew about it - it would be a top pick for registries around the world.

I made sure it was packed in the hospital bag, ready to use from birth.  It is also one of the few items for the Assistants to Infancy that Maria Montessori mentioned herself.

It’s also a wonderful way for an older sibling to hold their baby brother or sister with ease, giving the protective parents some peace of mind as well.

One of my Montessori baby must haves is a Topponcino. A Topponcino is this beautiful Montessori baby material that allows for a smoother transition for the baby from the womb to the world.
