Just wondered if anyone had been and got some good deals? The one in Manchester is in march and tempted to go, found reduced priced tickets but only if it's worth it for the offers really!

I went to the Manchester one in September and it was great. They had loads of offers on and really good talks. I’d definitely recommend it

Watching. I want to go to the London one in March

It's definitely worth going - but be careful if you're browsing for a pram! The prices are great and it looks like you're buying straight from the brand but turns out to be a 3rd party. I got my travel system from the Manchester show for a great price but there was a significant waiting time from a company with pretty rubbish reviews but by then it was too late! Ours arrived in about 8 weeks and was the wrong colour but all rectified v quickly.

We went to one in Bristol and it was fantastic :) We got loads of stuff there.

I went to the London one in October (due early April and wasn't sure how fit I would be by March!) And it was really good. Lots of freebies including bottles, bibs etc. I bought the pram too but that hasn't been delivered yet - you can delay delivery on most stuff for 16 weeks.

It was quite big and I did find stuff to be a bit overpriced even though it was a 'show special offer' but the products are expensive anyway as they tend to be at the more expensive end of the market. Baby boutiques with bamboo babygros which cost £100 each - literally!

I found the amount of prams quite overwhelming. I knew what I wanted when I went but I actually ended up with something else entirely which was unexpected! But I saved about £500, so happy days.

Word of warning though - there was not really any food outlets in the London one so if I go again I would take water and a sarnie!
