    Back from expo and it sucked!!!!

    No freebies/samples really, and no fantastic specials!!!!!!

    Parking sucked museuem parking all full!!! In the end I was better off as car park in lygon was $9 and not $14.

    Fisher price had toys etc on special but you couldn't have today was a order now and free delivery to you in 7 - 21 days!!!!!!!!!!

    The massive line for lunch was crazy and very little amount of seats to sit and BF.

    Was spaced out better than other expo though!
    I actually agree with all of that. including the good bit about there being a bit more space for manouvarability. but overall, i think the PB Expo is heaps better. especially in terms of sample packs and choice of providers. that said, the Tizzy Hall lecture did scare me...so maybe i was put off lol.

    i did buy a cushie tushie couture nappy and had a good chat with the maternity coalition girls... but other than that i was a bit disappointed. mostly stuff for clothing wise or big nursery items. the prams were also a bit boring (and i love prams!). and they only had 2 examples of double prams in the whole place (one of which was the bog standard maclaren).

    soooo glad that i got a free ticket!

    I personally loved it and got heaps of freebies and truely enjoyed it.

    I didn't like the layout of it though didn't flow very well,

    I had free tickets. I parked at the museum even though it said full .. i know people leave and come all the time.. cost me 9$

    over all I had a fun day and loved looking around.

    no, no ICandy, BUT they did have the very cool Taga bike/pram. we are considering getting the box version for when the new bubba is old enough to sit up.

    I agree feeb I thought it sucked too. Wasted my money, DH said 'I should have just taken you for a walk around Baby Bunting and it would have been the same thing' lol.
