Anyone been to the BABY EXPO?

[~Kim~]

I've been to a couple, pre and post baby.
If you print off the free ticket then it's not too bad to go and have a look around. Most of the products there are superfluous and unnecesaary (and overpriced for the show so they can ''offer' a great deal).
I found it great to be able to touch and feel cloth nappies before I bought them as there aren't many places in Sydney you can do that.
If you know what you do and don't need and approx prices on everything and won't be sucked into a bad deal, then it's good. There used to be free samples of everything, but now not so many and not so great samples.
lol there are also a LOT of those nasty pram mothers there too - I used to feel like saying "hey we're all here for the same purpose love!"

I have been to the melb one every year for a few years now with friends.
I love going have never paid entry as there are always free entry tickets available whether you print it out or pick one up at pharnacy, hospital, mchn or other place (often sponsered by panadol)

I have always picked up heaps of freebies and bought stuff cheap last year bought a heap of blankets and rattles etc for adding to hampers for friends babies very cheap. A lot of big stuff is expensive thought.

Dorothy the dinosaur or someone is usally there for entertianment for the kids and my frineds kids have always loved it!!!

I really enjoyed it. We printed out free tickets and skipped loads of mainstream that wasn't our style but still found enough interesting cloth nappies, toys, clothes, port-a-cots... to look at and interest us.

Print out the free ticket, pay for all day parking & then spend the day going round & round collecting free samples LOL. Thats what I do & its great.

We went before the birth of Molly and we loved it. We got a great bargain on a pram that we loved, as well as a few other good deals, and it's pretty exciting exploring all of the new baby stuff.

We're going again this year just to see what childrens' stuff there is, and as someone mentioned - lots of free samples, etc.

Can't say that I was impressed nor unimpressed. We had free tickets so that was good. We have some friends who went and said they got HEAPS of freebies etc and were raving, can't say we got many freebies at all! I would say go the first day or two cos maybe that's when there's more freebies? We went on the Sunday and they went on the Saturday. Good for a look at a lot of different products under one roof but that's about it.
