2 – 4 March
This March get ready to enjoy a fantastic shopping experience at the UK’s leading pregnancy and parenting event of the year. The Baby Show, with MadeForMums, will be taking place from Friday 2nd until Sunday 4th March at the ExCeL London. Find everything you need for bump, baby and you – all in one place, for three days only!
The Show features over 200 exhibitors offering an unrivalled choice of top baby brands and products – all under one roof. There will also be innovative product launches and boutique, not-on-the-high-street brands.
Take advantage of one-to-one specialist advice, hundreds of discounts, plus the opportunity to try before you buy. It really is a must-attend event for those shopping for their new arrival – especially for first time parents!
For those shopping for one of their biggest baby purchases – the trusty buggy, the show will have the UK’s widest range of buggies, pushchairs and car seats– including those harder to find brands like Mutsy and Dubatti. Don’t forget to give them a test drive on the popular MadeForMums Buggy Testing Track so you can see what they feel like on different surfaces!
Get hands-on with each product and meet product experts from top brands where you can ask questions on how a product works so you can really check that it’s right for you and your family’s lifestyle. And the show will have an enormous amount of exclusive show discounts, competitions and freebies to ensure you have your baby essentials shopping list all ticked off in no time!
Again there will be a wonderful line up of speakers on The Baby Show Stage including experts from the world of breastfeeding, sleep and nutrition. Infant researcher and founder of the Your Baby Can Learn series, Dr Bob Titzer, author and baby food expert, Annabel Karmel, breastfeeding expert, Vanessa Christie and sleep specialist, Chireal Shallow, along with a number of other top experts will be sharing their parenting know-how to make each visitor’s journey into parenthood just that bit easier!
And if you are looking for more personal and tailored advice, you can benefit from private 15 minute appointments with The Baby Show Experts at the One To One With The Experts Area – you just need to book your appointment on the day.
And once you’ve shopped until you’ve dropped, don’t worry about all the carrying as you can take advantage of the free Emma’s Diary Collect-By-Car service where you can drop off all your purchases and continue until you’ve got a carful!
Wing Yan Lee, Marketing Manager at The Baby Show, says: “The Baby Show launched in 2002 and has grown tremendously since then. New and expectant parents are continually impressed with the quantity of exhibitors and the quality of their products. Each year we try something different, with more unique products on offer, different celebrity speakers or parenting experts and consistently fantastic money-saving offers. It really is a great opportunity to try before you buy and see what cot, feeding chair or buggy may be right for you and your lifestyle. We look forward to welcoming everyone there!”
The Show will be joining forces with the NCT again to raise awareness of the help they provide to new and expectant parents. The NCT has become a lifeline to hundreds of thousands of parents over the past 60 years. They will have practitioners on hand throughout the show to offer information and raise awareness of the fantastic courses on offer and visitors can try out short taster sessions at the show.
