Review: The Baby Expo 2011 (Johannesburg)
THIS YEAR’S GAUTENG LEG OF THE BABY EXPO WAS HELD AT THE COCA-COLA DOME IN JOHANNESBURG FROM THE 12TH-15TH MAY. AYESHA MOOLA, MUM OF TWO, ATTENDED THE SHOW ON BEHALF OF MUSLIMMUMS.CO.ZA AND SHARES HER THOUGHTS.
To summarise the Baby Expo in one word, WOW
I have been attending baby shows since 2007, and this was by far the best.
Walking in, the place was packed but the actual layout was conducive to a parent attending with their kids so this didn’t hinder our time there. The highlight for the children was of course the Barney show, which you had to book when purchasing your tickets, as seats are limited.
The organisers had arranged Salaah (prayer) facilities, a necessity since the show is a whole day affair. Halaal food was also available for the Muslim attendees.
New Products were launched, my favourites included the YOOMI bottle, which has a built in warmer, great now for winter, and is the closest to mothers breast that I have ever seen.
Also the STOKKE range of travel systems left me speechless – any mother would appreciate one of these.
The discounts and specials were a treat for the parents, and there were lots of prizes up for grabs.
I particularly enjoyed the expert talks at the Woodward’s Lounge and, even though I am a second time mum, found these very helpful and informative.
There were different breast pumps on display, which is great as one could compare before purchasing.
Baby City was in attendance, with great show specials, I stocked up on Nappies and Formula.
On the whole, the show was an amazing success, and I am really looking forward to the next one.

Baba Indaba Soweto and Southern Suburbs!
PRESS RELEASE
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
August 2010
SOWETO AND SOUTHERN SUBURBS GET READY FOR A GREAT FAMILY DAY OUT AT THE INCREDIBLE SABC EDUCATION BABA INDABA AND KIDS INDABA!
Soweto was a hub of activity during June and July, things may have quietened down around those parts for the moment but Nasrec will soon be alive with the joyful sounds of babies and kids when the SABC Education Baba Indaba and Kids Indaba make their debut appearance in the area! For the first time since their inception, South Africa’s biggest baby and children’s expos will be delighting Soweto and Johannesburg’s southern suburbs. The show will be taking place from 27-29 August 2010.
Parents and grandparents will be treated to the wide and wonderful world of SABC Education Baba Indaba and Kids Indaba which offer everything one could need, in terms of parenting, under one roof. Whether you are looking for funky maternity clothes, beautiful baby outfits, toys, books, accessories or something new and exciting to make your life easier, it can all be found under one roof. Simplifying your life is what this show aims to do! There really is something for everyone – Kids will be entertained and educated by the many wonderful stage shows including Takalani Sesame, granny can have a cup of tea while she keeps them company, mom can ooh and aah over the beautiful jewellery and teddies while dad checks out the latest in parenting gadgets.
As always parents will have access to changing stations, private feeding rooms, expert advice in the Woolies Littleworld Speakers corner and the safety of knowing their child won’t get lost with Kiddy Tags. There will be giveaways galore, with the ultimate prize being the newly introduced Bump & Beyond competition! The show specials and competitions are sure to make even the most sleep-deprived parent beam with delight so get on down to Nasrec!
Not only does this show give all residents of these areas the opportunity to experience the vast mix of education, entertainment and products that the shows have to offer; but it also allows for exhibitors to tap into a new and diverse market. With a population of 1.3 million in Soweto alone and adding to that those who live in the southern suburbs, this is an extensive and previously untapped area that will allow for further brand extension and promotion for exhibitors.
There may be a population of 1.3 million in Soweto but add to that the large amount of young families who move closer to the city for work but who make their way ‘home’ on the weekends. According to recent research, a large number of young people consider Soweto, where they grew up, to be their actual home and they often return there to do their shopping, chores and family outings on the weekend. Don’t miss out on your chance as an exhibitor to talk to a new and varied group of people who are family oriented and wanting to find out more about your product!
The floor at the SABC Education Baba Indaba and Kids Indaba is a great place to launch a product as it offers one on one interaction with interested parents as well as scouts from large retail stores. These shows offer the possibility of planting the seed of your hard work and watching it grow while entrenching your brand in the market. On the back of a record show in Cape Town, which saw 40 000 feet through the door, the inaugural Soweto and Southern Suburbs SABC Education Baba Indaba and Kids Indaba promises to be a huge hit!
Doors open at 9:30 and the show runs each day until 17:00. Tickets can be purchased for R30.00 for adults and children get in free. Go to www.babaindaba.co.za to discover more of Baba Indaba’s inspirational and motivational ideas, special entrance price offers, as well as to subscribe to the visitors’ newsletter and receive information on special show offers and notification for upcoming expos
