Who else is going to this and what day? And who is going to be on a stand during it???
I am coming up to it (to get stuff for friends of mine) and now am coming up to go during Saturday (Emma will try and talk to you about the change of dates and times later this week). Going to be bringing my boys with me as well.

I'll be working all of the Friday and Saturday on the Bobby J Baby stand, would love to see people there!
The sales pitch: if you have a Moby wrap already, swing by the stand cos there's a free gift for those spotted wearing one. If you don't, I think they'll be $10 off at the show. She has some gorgeous baby shoes too (don't know about the discount for those).

For those that have been before- how much of a nightmare is taking a buggy? Wee man only lasts about 10min in front pack and I have no other way of carting him around

Caronz - we went with The Beast buggy last year and I was surprised how much of a problem it wasn't. The aisles are nice and wide and everything's well spaced out so it shouldn't be a problem.
Plus buggy = more room to store purchases. >.>

It would be a bit silly if they didn't have wide aisles for the prams!! lol
We are in CHCH and will be in Auck for this weekend, thinking about attending. Is it worth it?
Do you get lots of discounts or freebies? (sorry Mummy Becks don't mean to hijack the post!!)

Depends really. 2007 was really good and I got heaps of stuff and good deals. Last year was a write off TBH and so we won't be wasting the admission fee this year.

I think everyone has their own opinions on these as with everything else.
I guess youve got to go and experience it for yourself to know wether or not you like it and will go again.
Weve gone every year since Miss 10 was in my belly and each yr is different, some yrs are really good and there has been a few ok ones but overall they are awesome! Great discounts, awesome deals, lovely people, informative and helpful stands and a great way to see and find out about new products.
I love it and will continue to go every yr until I dont need to anymore:)

We went last year and found it great - lots of discounts and giveaways. We took DD who was around 8-9 months old so got given baby samples as well as a few toddler things. Pram wasn't a problem at all, I was surprised at how much room there was.
Not sure if I could be bothered waddling around it hevily pregnant though!
