Plan Ahead with Our Free Lay-away Service – Samuel Johnston Baby Since 1936
At Samuel Johnston Baby, we understand that preparing for your little one's arrival involves careful planning and budgeting. To support expectant parents, we offer a FREE Lay-away Service, allowing you to reserve essential nursery items with flexible payment options and guaranteed pricing.
We offer free Nursery Lay-away Plans and Christmas Toy Clubs in our store.
What is the Samuel Johnston Baby Lay-away Service?
Our Lay-away Service enables you to secure baby essentials such as prams, pushchairs, car seats, and nursery furniture in advance. This service ensures you get the products you desire without the immediate financial burden, allowing you to pay over time at your convenience.
Why Use Our Lay-away Service?
Our FREE Lay-away Service offers numerous benefits to expectant parents:
- Wide Selection & Guaranteed Availability: While we always keep popular items in stock, certain nursery products — like travel systems, traditional coach-built prams, and nursery furniture — may have longer lead times or require special orders. By ordering early in your pregnancy journey, you’ll have the best chance of securing the exact model and colour you want. Some suppliers may require 3+ months for delivery, so planning ahead is key.
- Flexible Savings Plan: Whether you want to spread the cost gradually, start saving early, or pool contributions from family and friends, our Lay-away Service provides the flexibility you need.
- Safe Storage for Peace of Mind: If you prefer not to keep large baby items at home before your baby's arrival, we’ll securely store them in our dedicated nursery club stockroom until you're ready to collect — all at no extra cost.
By combining convenience, flexibility, and peace of mind, our Lay-away Service is designed to make your journey into parenthood smoother and stress-free.
How Does the Lay-away Plan Work?
- Choose Your Items: Select the baby products you wish to reserve in-store.
- Pay a 25% Deposit: Secure your order with a minimum 25% deposit.
- Flexible Payments: Pay off the remaining balance at your own pace, or in full when collecting your items.
- Collection: Your items will be ready 1 month prior to your due date (unless alternative dates are agreed).
- Enjoy peace of mind by ordering early in your pregnancy journey while you have time. This allows us to secure the exact items or colour you want, especially for nursery products that are made to order or require special orders. Some suppliers may have lead times of 3+ months, so planning ahead ensures everything arrives on time.
