Back From The Baby Expo at Nassau Colliseum

I thought it was great! I got a ton of free samples and goodies. Gerber was giving away "I'm a Gerber Baby" bibs, samples of cereal, juice bottle lids and tons of coupons. There were lots of other goody bags by vendors, lots of baby gear set up, and a book fair. I got pacifiers, Cyro Cell had cute hand shaped bottles of hand sanitizer, pens, pads, magnets, babysitter info magnet thing, and more. Chicco was giving away keys and somehow I got 2 of those. Oh, and the pink and blue Graco sharpies were cute!

There was also a stage with Disney Princesses and Princes performing and Earth's Best had free pics with Cookie Monster. The best was the $70 Gymobree Gift Certificate which I'm hoping I'll be able to put to good use! The baby derby was cute, although Emma didn't participate since she doesn't crawl. Oh yeah, and the dad's racing to set up the PNP, change the baby and drink 3 ounces of water from a bottle was hysterical!

I do have to say the Circumsicion people annoyed me. She was trying to push her anti circumcision brochure on me and I said no thanks, she's a girl and I don't plan on having more kids. She said so?! I don't even have kids and you can inform others, as she was throwing the brochure at me. I said no thanks and walked away. I think that was the wrong forum for them to try to push their beliefs off on other people, reglardess if I agree with it or not.

Oh, and I saw a great product that I wish I had seen when DD was a newborn. It was a soft thing you put on your arm when holding the baby so it cushions them.

Overall it was nice. If you take the elevator down, make sure you go back out to the main entrance where people come in from the escalators so you can get a badge that the vendors scan to enter you in various drawings.

I saw some people park at the Marriott and then walk over to the Colliseum. Apparently there is a path

Re: Back From The Baby Expo at Nassau Colliseum

Oh well - guess I wont be going this year - I couldn't bear being inside today, and tomorrow is the autism walk... maybe next year - he'll still be a baby!

Re: Back From The Baby Expo at Nassau Colliseum

I was there today also - I think it was really good. The best was the $70.00 gift certificates to Gymboree.

I missed some of the other freebies you listed above though.

Re: Back From The Baby Expo at Nassau Colliseum

We were also there..and defintely worth going. They had several crawling contests and ds came in 2nd in one of the races. 2nd prize was $15 at BRU

Re: Back From The Baby Expo at Nassau Colliseum

rachel and i went to one last year that was absolutely horrible not sure if it was the same company but we got no freebies and they didnt have any big companies and felt like we were at a fair more than an expo with everything from gutter replacement to avon. glad you had a good time would have loved to of gone but we have plans for tomorrow already.

Re: Back From The Baby Expo at Nassau Colliseum

I had a great time..

I got a stack of coupons sky high for everything unde rthe sun.

The $70 Gymboree Gift certificates, Free Earths best Food, Nursery water, a cell phone holder, and tons of little things.

I also scored an angelcare monitor for $30!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

They were selling the last one at 4 pm .

I thought it was worth it for the samples, coupons alone and of course the then million raffles. I better win SOMETHING.

Plus I got to see Halisa and her adorable Twins and her DH and MSMBV and her Dh and adorable baby G!

Re: Back From The Baby Expo at Nassau Colliseum

Donna - you got an angelcare for 30 bucks? That is awesome!!!

Re: Back From The Baby Expo at Nassau Colliseum

i went too. brought my mil and she got in free. stopped at bru for my 3 dollar off coupon and got tons of samples. my mil played with olivia while i walked the whole expo. got tons of bags for storing breast milk. got from dr browns a travel set for bfing. they werent giving them out but i asked for a sample of something an beucase they were closing up soon he said he wanted to get rid of stuff. for $5 i thought it was worth it. we didnt see cookie monster so i was a little bummed but got a chocolate milk drink box from earths best for olivia to try. thanks ladies for all the good info about the expo.

i also ran into 5 of clubs at the kiddie area.

Re: Back From The Baby Expo at Nassau Colliseum

we were there too!! As the AP stated, it was worth the money and we had a great time. I also thought the free subscription to the Grandparents magazine was cool too.
