Questions to use

Start with the complete working structure, then adjust the language, timing, and incentive to fit your customers and brand.

Best used when

Your team has a specific decision or growth objective and needs a focused artifact to move from planning to launch.

1

How old is the child this order is for?

single choice

Suggested answers

Expecting, not born yet0 to 3 months3 to 6 months6 to 12 months1 to 2 years2 to 4 yearsOver 4 years

Why ask it: The most useful fact in the category, because it dates every purchase that follows. Use bands rather than a birth date: you need the timing, not anything that identifies a child. The expecting option is the one to watch, since those customers can be planned for months ahead.

2

What convinced you this was safe to use?

single choice

Suggested answers

A safety standard or certificationThe materials listReviews from other parentsA recommendation from someone I knowAdvice from a health professionalYour own testing informationI was not certain, I took a chance

Why ask it: The question that writes your product page. Whichever option wins belongs above the fold, and the last option is a warning light: those orders carry the most doubt, the highest return risk, and the most support contact.

3

What were you still unsure about when you ordered?

open text

Why ask it: Parents finish their research off your site, so the doubt that survived it is the sentence your product page is missing. In this category it is usually fit for a newborn, washing and durability, or whether a certification covers the exact model.

4

Who is this order for?

single choice

Suggested answers

My own childA gift for a friend's babyA gift for familyA baby shower presentA registry purchaseBuying ahead, before the baby arrives

Why ask it: One tap that splits your follow-up permanently. Gift buyers cannot review a product they never used, but they buy again for the next occasion. Parents want the next stage. Sending each of them the other's email is the most common wasted send in baby.

5

Who first told you about us?

single choice

Suggested answers

Another parent I knowA parenting group or forumA health professionalSomeone on Instagram or TikTokA gift registry or wish listNobody, I found you searchingOther

Why ask it: Worded as a person on purpose, because in this category it usually is one, and search is the exception rather than the default. Giving groups and health professionals their own options tells you which of them to support with samples, guides, or a partnership.

6

What are you likely to need next?

multiple choice

Suggested answers

The next size upFeeding and weaningSleepTravel and carriersNursery and furnitureClothingToys and play

Why ask it: A demand signal that arrives before the need does. Combined with the age band, it tells you which category to put in the next email and which gap in your range parents keep filling somewhere else.

7

Is this your first child?

single choice

Suggested answers

Yes, our firstSecond or laterI am buying for someone else's child

Why ask it: First-time parents research more, contact support more, and belong to a group of people at exactly the same stage in the same month, which makes them your best referral source. Second-time parents buy faster and want what worked before. The two deserve different tones and different email cadences.

Three specifics worth checking against your own store before you launch.

Seven questions written for a parent answering with one hand

Age bands instead of birth dates, so nothing identifies a child

A safety question that tells you which proof belongs above the fold

How to put it into practice

How to put it to work

Start with the focused version, publish, and let the first answers steer the next iteration.

  1. 1

    Ask two questions on the order confirmation page: what convinced them, and the child's age band

  2. 2

    Send the doubt and gifting questions by email about a week after delivery, once the product has been used

  3. 3

    Segment the email calendar by age band and let the next-stage answers choose the offers

Mistakes to avoid

Protect the quality of the result

Strong execution usually comes from removing ambiguity and keeping every action tied to the original objective.

Asking for a birth date when an age band does the job

Sending a ten-question survey to someone who has not slept

Asking a gift buyer how the product performed

Collecting the safety answers and leaving the product page unchanged

Frequently asked questions

Practical answers before you launch

How do I ask about a child's age without collecting personal data?

Use bands, not birth dates, and never ask for a name or a photo. An age range is enough to time the next size and the next stage, and it keeps the survey to one tap. Saying why you are asking, in one line above the question, raises completion rather than lowering it.

When should I send a baby brand survey?

Two questions on the order confirmation page while the research is fresh, then two or three by email about a week after delivery, once the product has been through a night or a feed. Never more than three on one screen. This audience abandons long surveys faster than any other.

Which single question is worth the most here?

What convinced you this was safe. It tells you which proof point closed the sale, which is the thing your product page should lead with, and the answers arrive in the exact language other parents already use.
