Did anyone go?
Tarsha and I went to our one today and I thought it was great! I must admit I thought the admin cost was high... untill I walked out with about 40 nappies and 9 sachets of formula and 2 sipper cups! LOL Well worth it Trish |

| you get freebies from treasures, huggies, other nappy places like nappy factory, heinz formula, nutracare formula plus a sipper cup from them. samples of flavoured milk etc. just make sure you get the bags rather than just pick things up cos you get heaps more like the sipper cup, you need to talk to them so they will give you a bag. there are also heaps of balloons and lollies and places like baby factory have show specials, 20% off etc... |

Do you think it's worth going this year with a two year old? She's still in nappies but apart from that is there anything else relevant? like she doesn't eat baby food, formula etc ------------- http://lilypie.com">

| The only sipper cups we have in the house is the Karicare ones we got at the Show. I use to go with DH but $10pp is a bit expensive so I think I will go by myself and stock up on the freebies. I love getting freebies! It can be busy though and if you can I'd recommend a front or back pack instead of a pram. |

we went on the sunday afternoon(last day) so there wasnt too many people, we had prams, also because it is the last day they give you more freebies

| Meow, Im not sure if I would go again unless I was specifically looking for something. Places like Mementoes had a stand there and it was really nice seeing what they can do but I could have found that info on thier website. There were a few preschool, childcare in general places that had stands so if you are interested in them its a good time to talk to someone about it. I thought there was more information than products if that makes sense. I still have my program somewhere if anyone wants to know what stalls will be there (presuming its basically the same for all the shows) |

There is also a website which tells you who is going to be at each show http://parentandchildshow.co.nz - http://parentandchildshow.co.nz . As each show has stuff special to their region. ------------- I was a puree feeder, forward facing, cot sleeping, pram pushing kind of Mum... and my kids survived! |

| Oh I went to the Chch show on the Saturday. Thought admission a bit high and didnt end up buying anything, but entered lots of free draws and turns out it was worth it- today I found out that I was the winner of the Two month supply of Nappies from Southern Discount - YAAAYYYYY!!! First time ever winning anything, lol. |

| Rachel I got some of those dummys too, they were soo cheap and she loves them, much better than normal ones so I wish I got more. The bag is cool aye, i reckon it will be perfect for swimming cos it can get wet and is really big |
