Like with the current Scottish scheme, the box itself should also be able to be used as a sleep space for the baby if necessary.","additional_details":"All children should get a fair start in life regardless of their family's situation, and providing baby boxes will aid this. When the Scottish government rolled out this scheme, they found that 84% of parents found the leaflet on safe sleeping helpful, and 91% agreed that 'Getting a baby box has saved me money on things I would otherwise have had to buy'. This shows that baby boxes are very useful in setting children  up for success early.","committee_note":null,"state":"rejected","signature_count":8,"created_at":"2026-03-11T15:28:29.619Z","updated_at":"2026-04-01T12:58:26.761Z","rejected_at":"2026-04-01T12:58:21.741Z","opened_at":null,"closed_at":null,"moderation_threshold_reached_at":"2026-03-12T06:23:30.000Z","response_threshold_reached_at":null,"government_response_at":null,"debate_threshold_reached_at":null,"debate_scheduled_on":null,"scheduled_debate_date":null,"debate_outcome_at":null,"creator_name":null,"rejection":{"code":"duplicate","details":"You may wish to sign the following petition, which calls for similar action:\r\n\r\nIntroduce UK Safe Haven Laws & fund baby boxes\r\nhttps://petition.parliament.uk/petitions/755794"},"government_response":null,"debate":null,"departments":[],"topics":[]}}}
