How to get the best from the Baby Show

The Baby Show is back on this weekend at ExCel London. We reveal the ways to make your day as successful as possible

Posted: 25 February 2012

There’s so much to see at the Baby Show, we want to make sure you get as much as you can from it. Don’t forget to use the floorplan at the back of your show guide to find your way around.

If you  haven't bought your ticket in advance, visit the Baby Show ticket site and use the code MDD2 to get a £5 discount off the ticket price 

5 things you must do

  • 1 Check out one of the fun events on the stage sponsored by Prima Baby. This weekend you can choose from a fashion show, sleep secrets, first aid plus song and dance for your little one.
  • 2 Visit the Feeding area, sponsored by Tommee Tippee (it’s in the far right corner of the hall). There’s a private breastfeeding area, plus there’s comfy seating and microwaves, bottle warmers, bibs and spoons to use.
  • 3 Check out the bargains. Whether you know exactly what product you want or just keen to browse, you can pick up some real bargains at the Baby Show. Look out for discounts on buggies, car seats at retailer stands such as Baby Planet, slings and smaller baby products, plus there’s 10% off at Mothercare
  • 4 Take your baby to the free crèche. Sponsored by Fisher-Price, your little one will have the chance to try out lots of fun Fisher-Price toys, with free supervision from Artful Splodgers carers (but you’ll need to book a slot)
  • 5 Enter the competitions – there are some amazing prizes to win…


5 competitions you should enter

  • 3 Win £500 of Fisher-Price nursery items and toys. There are two chances to win this amazing price – visit the Fisher-Price stand at N4 for more details.
  • 4 Win a Mamas & Papas Mylo. Visit the Mamas & Papas stand (L50) where you’ll have a chance to test drive the Mylo and enter a comp to win one of 4 being given away each day! Winners are announced at 10, 12, 2 and 4pm.
  • 5 Win a Britax B-Smart buggy. Sign up to join Emma’s Diary and you’ll be entered into a prize draw and one lucky person will win a B-Smart pushchair each day.
