Hiya thinking of going to the baby show today, has anyone been this weekend? Is it worth the trip?
I'm 31 weeks and havnt settled on a pram yet - thinking this may be a good place to test out lots in one place? And hopefully get a discount :)

Hello - dh and I went on friday. Loads of buggies there that you could get demos off and push around (although not realistic as surfaces very good). I was a bit overwhelmed as 16 weeks and had no idea what I wanted and what I should expect to pay. Lots of 'offers' but not sure how good they are. It was all very top end so maybe not the best if on tight budget.

I learnt a lot and grabbed loads of leaflets even though I didn't buy anything. Was shattered afterwards!

Hi
I went yesterday. Yes there are loads of prams there. Although, I wasn't really looking at them as I've already bought mine. I got a good deal on reusable nappies though.

I think it will be worth it to test drive the different prams and apparently Sunday is the best day to go as the sales people are more eager to push for sales. So better deals are on offer. One lady at a stall said this was the case a few years ago and they aren't as flexible, but you never know.

I found it good to have a look what was on offer but prices on the internet are so much cheaper than what people are offering at the show.

Eurrrgh. I went last time I was pregnant and hated it. Full of hormonal women with sharp elbows! Got a free muller rice though which was nice.

To be fair though, I hate any places with lots of people so probably shouldn't let me cloud your judgement.
