The Baby Show 2008

The Baby Show in association with Bounty, sponsored by Volvo ExCeL London 29 February - 2 March 2008

Following the huge success of 2007, The Baby Show returns to ExCeL, London in February 2008. The essential event for parents and parents-to-be, The Baby Show has everything you'll ever need for pregnancy, babies and your tot. This year's ExCeL show is even more special - it's happening on Mother's Day!

Having a baby is an exciting time but with so many things to think about it can leave you feeling overwhelmed, particularly for first time parents. Taking care of a new baby raises natural concerns for parents who want to get it just right.

With so many important decisions to make in preparing and caring for a new baby, parents can be left feeling slightly confused as to the best methods to take and which products to buy! A visit to The Baby Show provides an excellent opportunity to get expert tips and up to date advice in a parent and baby friendly environment. You'll also get the chance to check out the latest must-have equipment and accessories on the baby market.

Show Director, Nicole Boakes is looking forward to another great show at ExCeL as she explains "The Baby Show is now an essential event in the Baby calendar and an important part of having a baby. Feedback from mums, dads and grandparents from last year's Show was really positive, in particular about the accessibility of the venue and also how useful the day was in being able to compare different makes and brands of the baby care goods that they needed to buy. This year's show will be packed full of fresh exciting things for baby, parents and all the family."
