The Baby Show with Prima Baby is back at ExCeL

27 Feb – 1 March 2009

The Baby Show returns to ExCeL this month. The Baby Show’s hassle-free shopping experience will offer credit-crunching bargains for London parents. The ‘one-stop-shop’ for all parenting needs offers savings, entertainment and expert advice for parents-to-be and new parents.
The Baby Show takes the stress out of pre/post birth shopping, giving parents, relatives and friends the chance to purchase products at unbeatable prices and have a fun day out together.

Shop & Save
Little bundles can cost big, but a trip to The Baby Show can help avoid blowing the budget on those baby must-haves. Using the Show website, visitors can research exhibiting companies and the products and services provided and make sure they have everything covered on the check-list before heading to the Show. Planned well, this can be an easy and comfortable way to get all the shopping for baby done in a day – saving countless trips to the high street.
Retailers will be offering exceptional value on an amazing choice of baby essentials, with exclusive Show offers often lower than internet prices. Many purchases for a new baby take careful consideration to make sure they see you through the child’s early years. At the Show parents are able to test and compare all the leading brands from buggies to toys to nappies ensuring they make informed decisions and avoid any costly mistakes.
Visitors can try and buy from a wide variety of large retailers such as Mothercare, Glasgow Pram Centre and Baby Planet, as well as meet experts direct from leading brands like Philips Avent, Johnson’s Baby, Stokke and Maclaren.
