Baby Show Olympia

Just got tickets for the Baby Show at Olympia, I'm hoping it will be a good opportunity to see A LOT of different items under one roof (especially big ticket items like travel systems) but have also heard there can be some good deals and advice.

Is there anyone else going or can anyone who has been previously tell me about what was good/bad etc?

Thanks!

We are going, I've been to a few. Great for test driving prams, good deals, can check out different cot options etc. A lot of shit there, shit you didn't know you NEED!!!

I went to the one in Birmingham well worth it even though it's a longggg day because it's so big and I bet Olympia is even bigger. We got all the main things we needed all under one roof it was really good plus you get very good deals and lots of freebies! Enjoy 😊

I really want to go to the baby show at Olympia but will only be 8+4, is that too early?
I have an early scan booked at 7+4 and if all goes well i would like to go.
The next one isnt till March next year x

This will be my first one, I think it may be early to get stuff, but hope for some free goodies and maybe look at stuff we might need in a few months. At least I will be able to see how much money to save!

I think is worth going to such a show if you want to buy big items e.g. a travel system. If it's too early to buy things, just go to one that is closer to your due date Coco24. I bought my travel system from such a show and the deal was great! Ideally do your research in advance to see what you want/need, if you want to buy something big, or it can take ages to check everything and decide! Have fun!

I'll be 17 + 3 when we go, I think it'll be our only opportunity to get to a big show as I'll be due when the next one is on in March! Glad to hear that people have got a lot out of going!

If it was me, I'd go to the one in March. You'll be, what, about 7 months pregnant?
