Although the name "The Baby Show" implies there is just one per year, there are no less than four Baby Shows taking place in 2011, all sponsored by Fisher Price and Baby & Pregnancy magazine. Look out for discount codes in the weeks leading up to each Baby Show as you can often get in without paying the full ticket price.

Baby Show ExCel (London): 18-20 February 2011
Baby Show NEC (Birmingham): 20-22 May 2011

The Baby Show was launched in 2002 - and now is bigger than ever with an estimated 75,000 visitors each year. The event offers a unique opportunity for parents (and soon-to-be parents) to try out products, meet with experts in the pregnancy, baby and toddler industry... and to have a great day out at the same time!
For suppliers, The Baby Show provides a huge opportunity to introduce their products to new parents. The show is a superb marketing platform - not just for household-name brands but for new companies too. It affords fledging businesses a unique and priceless way to interact with the very people that their product is aimed at - and although exhibition spaces don't come cheap, the number of repeat exhibitors speaks volumes.
The nursery trade also has its own private fair called The Baby Show for the Trade.
Online toy shop specialising in carefully selected children's toys.
Collectables ranges including figures, stickers and trading cards.
Genuine eco-friendly wooden toys for kids up to 12 years old.
