baby and toddler show..

[em90792]

Is anyone attending any? I've seen one in september at sandown Park.. has anyone been to any before? Are they worth it? Is it mainly for big purchases or can you go and have a good look about?

I've been to a couple - they're nice to have a look at a few different bits and bobs. We came away with a baby bath, bf cushion, lots of bibs and something that sweeps up crumbs. Usually you can find cheap tickets for them.

They have lots of prams too which is good to see in real life

I went to a big one in Manchester just before lockdown - wasn’t too fussed about it initially before going as I thought it would be really expensive stuff but we found a discount code online so went. I actually really enjoyed it! It was great to try out all the prams and slings. We came away with loads of free samples and also bought some smaller bits like muslins, reusable wipes and breast pads, a nursing pillow etc. There were also lots of deals from big companies such as Mam, Snuz and Mamas and Papas which if you’re planning on getting them anyway, work out much cheaper than buying online. Worth it imo

I went to a big one in London in early March. Thought it was overpriced, but it was interesting to have a little look and see if there was anything that we hadn't thought about that we should add to our shopping list, although we weren't buying things on the day. With lockdown then coming in, and suddenly all of our shopping having to happen online (I'm due this month) then we were more confident with it because we realised that to us, basically all of the travel systems were the same as each other!

I think they are really good! It's not just big purchases, they have everything. They also tend to have a few speakers giving useful talks.

Not sure if its the same show but we are going to Sandown in October, I think they might moved it because of COVID? Its of course new format so you need to pick 2 and half hour slot when you gonna go to make sure there is not too many people. Look forward to it, hoping to get a pram in discounted price but as first time mum to be mainly looking forward to just wonder around and maybe add few things to shopping list.
