Baby show discounts - are there any deals to be had?

[Boggler]

I'm toting with the idea if going to the baby show on the weekend with the intention of ordering a pushchair. It's over an hours drive and I'm not terribly keen on dealing with the crowds but I think I'm going to buy a bugaboo chameleon if there is a good discount at the show. There's currently 10% off in mothercare so does anyone know if I would be able to get a better discount by ordering at the show?

I ordered my pushchair (Uppababy Vista) at the baby show in Glasgow a couple of weeks ago. I knew what offers I could get at local pram centres etc. The deal at the baby show was £100 less, and included a free footmuff, seat liner and highchair (althought I suspect they were just trying to get rid of these!) so I found it really it worthwhile. I knew exactly what I was wanting, make sure you check all the pram centres that are represented there, the price did vary between the different stalls.
I'm afraid I didn't even look at other pushchair, so can't comment on the bugaboo.

Have you looked to see if the Mothercare discount includes the bugaboo range? Often in the small print their discounts exclude bugaboo products.
You may be better off web searching bugaboo at lower prices in other stores, printing off the prices, going into Mothercare and seeing if they will price match.

I've been told mothercare will be offering 20% off at the show, my local retailer is matching this, they also sell the floor display pushchairs off on the Sunday, im looking at the donkey and I've been told it will about 300 cheaper at the show :)
