Baby show Manchester

[Dani2810]

Hey girls

Did anyone go the baby show this weekend???
I went yesterday & got a few cute things it was such a lovely day and everything is so real I've got 4 wks left on Wednesday so gonna try get all the last bits and pieces done this wk.
I got a fab changing bag at the show bit pricey but it had a discount on and it will get used £80 for the bag it's like a handbag rather than a typical baby bag with built in thermal hidden pockets & the inside of bag zips out to go in the washing machine, I was sold but my mum wasn't impressed when I told her lol
Wouldn't mind goin again when Lo is here coz they had alot of older stuff too xxx

I went. Got my first proper baby bits. I was really glad I saw some furniture sets in the flesh, helped me decide what I wanted. Didn't get there until 3pm and I was knackered so probably didn't make the most of it. I probably would have tried for more freebies if I had more energy at the time. Wish I was further along when I went, probably would have been more focused on what we needed to buy. Did get a 20% off voucher for a 3d scan though. It was great if you wanted to look at loads of travel systems or pushchairs, would definitely help you decide if you didn't know which one you wanted.

I went too and got some great bargains from mamas and papas, saved £40 on Moses basket and stand and £30 on the rocker we wanted. Also got out pram which was a model on display. It didnt have a single mark on it and in all we saved around £200 as it came with car seat and adaptors, parasol, changing bag and footmuff. All in all a very successful and money saving day, would highly recommend it xxx

I went too. Bought our Mamas & Papas travel system and cot and spent £900!!! It was a a big spend, but we also saved about £190 as there was 10% off the M&P stuff and they gave us a free matress for the cot bed. Also had 3 for 2 on accessories. Got the Aton car seat and isofix base so did quite well.

Definately recommend these shows as it gives you a chance to compare lots of different things in one place.

I was banned from going so I couldnt spend money and by the sounds of all your spending its a good thing I didnt

so is it that mamas and papas give you 10% off generally? are their nursery furniture sets there? x

 

[Dani2810]

Yeah they do have furniture sets there & lots of prams I didn't look at them too much to be honest as I already have my pram & nursery furniture! I think some stuff bargains & others waste of money like my mum says these shops/stalls prey on pregnant women to spend unecessary money lol I thought maybe get some bargain nursing bra's or nursing tops oh boy I would have booked myself into the mental clinic if I had even considered buying a nursing vest top for £40 me thinks not! I nearly choked lol my changing bag was my big splurge - treat it was reduced to £80.
There was a stall with these hillarious slogans on bibs but I can't justify spending £7.99 on a bib I could actually make myself! The Katie price baby girls clothes are seriously cute & girly unfortunately I can't put my little man in that stuff but it was quite cheap too.

I'd defo recommend to go my friend has got loads of ideas now too!
