Mallory Reynolds-Trout, Show Director at The Baby Show says: “Preparing for a new arrival is such a special time – full of excitement, but often a little overwhelming too. That’s where The Baby Show comes in. We give new and expectant parents the chance to explore leading brands, and pick-up must have products at great prices.
We’re delighted to be back at the iconic Olympia, London for our 24th year and supporting parents on their journey once more.
