Frequently Asked Questions

Quick answers about orders, shipping, returns, our stores and registries.

Orders & Payments

What are my payment options?

We accept Visa, MasterCard, American Express, Discover, Shop Pay (including Shop Pay Installments), PayPal, Apple Pay, Google Pay, WeChat Pay and Alipay. You'll see every option available to you at checkout.

How do I track my order?

When your order ships, we email you a tracking link. You can also find your orders and their tracking in your account. A larger order may ship in more than one box, and each box gets its own tracking number.

How do I cancel or change my order?

Contact us as soon as you can. Whether we can still change it depends on how far along your order is.

  • Email: online@babyenroute.ca (please include your order number)
  • Phone: 236-858-9233
  • Chat: on our website during business hours

Can I cancel a pre-order or backorder?

Yes, as long as the item hasn't shipped and isn't custom-made or a special order. Email online@babyenroute.ca with your order number, and we'll confirm the cancellation by email. What you paid for the cancelled item goes back to your original payment method.

Once a pre-order has been fulfilled, it can no longer be cancelled; you can ask for a return under our Refund Policy instead.

How can I use my 10% off sign-up coupon? Does it work on sale items?

Enter your code at checkout. It takes 10% off eligible regular-priced items and can be used once.

  • It doesn't apply to sale or clearance items, or to a few brands that set their own prices.
  • It can't be combined with other discount codes.

The discount shows up at checkout on the items that qualify.

Do you offer price matching?

Yes. If a qualifying online retailer or a local competitor sells the same item for less within 14 days of it being available to you, we'll match the price.

  • Pickup orders: the 14 days start when your order is marked Ready for Pickup.
  • Shipped orders: the 14 days start on the delivery date shown by the carrier.
  • Amazon: only when the seller is the brand itself or an authorized seller. Marketplace and third-party listings, and coupons we can't verify, don't qualify.

Email online@babyenroute.ca with your order number and a link to the lower price. Every request is reviewed by our team. Full details: Refund & Price Match Policy.

When will my pre-order or backorder arrive?

We show an estimated date on the product page or email it to you after you order. These dates can change because of supplier or shipping delays, and we'll email you when we have an update. Payment is taken when you place the order.

If your order also has in-stock items, we may hold it until everything is ready or send it in more than one package.

Shipping & Delivery

How long does delivery take?

In-stock orders usually leave our warehouse within 1-2 business days. Most Canadian orders then arrive in 3-7 business days, depending on where you live. We ship with Canada Post, UPS, FedEx and Purolator. Pre-order and backorder items ship once they arrive, and we email you an estimated date.

Do you offer free shipping?

Yes. Standard shipping is free on eligible regular-size orders of $100 or more (before taxes) to Alberta, British Columbia, Manitoba, Ontario, Quebec and Saskatchewan.

  • Not included: oversized items, furniture and express shipping.
  • Orders to New Brunswick, Newfoundland and Labrador, Nova Scotia, Prince Edward Island, Yukon, the Northwest Territories and Nunavut pay regular shipping rates.

The exact cost is shown at checkout. More: Shipping & Delivery.

Do you ship outside Canada?

We ship to select countries. If we can ship to your address, the shipping options and cost appear at checkout. Duties, taxes and brokerage fees are paid by the recipient, and free shipping doesn't apply to international orders.

Can I pick up my online order in store?

Yes. Choose pickup at checkout and select Richmond, Burnaby or Ottawa. Richmond orders are usually ready within 24 hours; Burnaby and Ottawa usually take 2-4 days. Please wait for the email saying your order is ready before you come in.

Why does my order need a shipping quote?

Furniture, oversized items, remote addresses and some international orders can need a quote from the carrier. If there is an extra amount, we contact you before charging it or sending the order. You can accept the quote, or cancel the affected item or order for a refund. More: Shipping & Delivery.

Can I change my shipping address?

Contact us as soon as possible at online@babyenroute.ca or (236) 858-9233 with your order number. We can't promise a change once the order is being prepared or has shipped.

What if my package is late, missing or damaged?

Delivery dates from carriers are estimates, and delays can happen. If your tracking hasn't moved or a package arrives damaged, email online@babyenroute.ca with your order number and photos if you have them, and we'll look into it with you.

Refund & Exchange

What is your return policy?

Most items can be returned within 14 days of receipt if they are new, unused and in the original box with all packaging.

  • Final sale: sale items, furniture, car seats, strollers, electronics, mattresses, pillows, swimwear, bedding, diapers, food, toys and plush.
  • Not returnable: feeding products, breast pumps, bath and diapering accessories, lotions, potty seats, wipes and undergarments.
  • Return shipping is paid by the customer. Store purchases go back to the same store.

Full details: Refund Policy.

How do I check the status of my refund?

We email you when your refund has been issued. If you haven't heard from us within 7 business days of us receiving your return, email online@babyenroute.ca with your order number.

How long does a refund take?

Once we receive your return, please allow 3-7 business days for us to process it. The refund goes back to the original payment method; your bank may take a few more days to show it.

Registry, Rewards & Services

How do I create a baby registry?

Go to our Baby Registry page, create your registry and start adding items. You can share it with family and friends by link.

What are the benefits of a baby enRoute registry?

  • Welcome goodie bag (valued over $100): add 10 or more different items to your registry, share it on social media tagging @babyenRoute (keep the post up for at least 2 days), then visit a store with photo ID and one pregnancy verification (an ultrasound photo with your name, or a doctor's note or appointment card). Not near a store? Place an online order and email online@babyenroute.ca with your order number, name, phone number, photo ID, pregnancy verification and your post; we'll ship the bag with that order.
  • Completion discount (10% off): once 50% of your registry has been bought, get 10% off the remaining items. Ask in store or at online@babyenroute.ca for your code.
  • Gift card when you close your registry: from $25 when friends and family buy $500+ from it, up to $200 for $4,000+.
  • Lowest price: registry items are covered by our price match for 14 days.
  • Refer a friend: when a friend creates a registry, you get $20 off your next regular-priced purchase of $100 or more.

Conditions: your registry must be active for at least 60 days and have at least 10 different items. Perks can be used up to 3 months after your due date. The completion discount excludes car seats, strollers, furniture, mattresses, electronics, sale items and gift cards, and offers can't be combined. Details: Baby Registry Perks.

Do you sell gift cards?

Yes. Gift cards can be bought online and used online or in any of our stores. They never expire.

Do you offer car seat installation checks?

Yes, by appointment at our Richmond and Burnaby stores, with our certified car seat technicians.

  • Car seat bought from baby enRoute: installation and check-ups are free for life. Book on our Car Seat Check-up page and use code CARSEATSAFETY at checkout.
  • Car seat bought elsewhere: the check-up is $50.

How do baby enRoute Rewards work?

Can I use more than one gift card, or check my balance?

Product Information

How do I choose the right car seat?

It depends on your child's age, weight and height, and on your vehicle. Infant seats fit newborns and click into many strollers, convertible seats grow with your child from rear- to forward-facing, and booster seats are for older children. Check the limits in each product description, or visit a store and our staff will help you choose.

What is the difference between stroller types?

  • Full-size strollers are comfortable for everyday use and often take a bassinet or car seat.
  • Travel systems come with an infant car seat that clicks onto the stroller.
  • Compact and travel strollers fold small and are light to carry.
  • Jogging strollers have larger wheels and suspension for running and rough paths.

Compare models in our strollers, or ask our staff in store or by chat.

Will this car seat fit my car?

Fit depends on your vehicle's seats and how the car seat is installed. Check the car seat maker's vehicle fit information and your vehicle manual. If you bought your car seat from us, our technicians in Richmond and Burnaby can help you install it and check the fit, free, by appointment (book a check-up).
