Mallory Reynolds-Trout, Show Manager at The Baby Show says: “The Baby Show is a real institution; it’s been running 21 years now and has a huge fan base in the South and the Midlands. Visiting the show when you have that happy news that you’re expecting is an integral part of having a baby and now we can make it even more accessible to visitors from the north who want to try, compare and buy all their baby essentials.
“We want to make the day as easy as possible and that’s why we have a Shop ‘n’ Drop and Collect-by-Car service, as well as complimentary food to feed your little one, bottle warmers on hand and a private feeding area, as well as plenty of free wipes and nappies from Lidl. We can’t wait to help more expectant parents as they start one of the most exciting journeys in life.”
