Description: The New Parents Expo--everything from prenatal to preschool.
This is the event of the year for new and expectant parents who want the best products and advice for their young families. This family-friendly, consumer-based event—-the largest of its kind in the U.S.—-takes place October 15 and 16, 10am to 6pm, at Pier 92 in Manhattan. The New Parents Expo features an all-star cast of speakers, dozens of exhibitors and unique features. All the information is on our website at www.newparentsexpo.com, but here’s a sampling of what you’ll find at the show:
• Shopping Central! Explore the hottest brands and services: strollers, children's furniture, early enrichment classes, cribs, bottles, car seats, diaper bags, maternity wear, organic baby food, sleeps sacs, infant carriers, toys, and much more, including child-proofing and other family services. There will also be plenty of experts on hand to help.
• An Incredible Group Of Speakers! America's #1 pediatrician, Dr. Harvey Karp (creator of The Happiest Baby on the Block and The Happiest Toddler on the Block DVDs and books), will anchor the speaker's area both days with a talk on calming your baby and connecting with your toddler! Also making an appearance will be children’s superstars Liz Lange, Dr. Bob Sears, Rosie Pope, Vicki Iovine and many others!
• The Stroller Test Drive Track! Take today’s leading strollers for a spin on a special course designed to mimic both urban and suburban stroller challenges!
• Free Buggy Tune-Ups! If you have a stroller, the folks at Buggy Bubbles will provide free tune-ups, checking handles, brakes, wheeling — they’ll even steam clean it!
• An Expo For Dads Too! The incredible dads from the NYC Dads Group are running the Dads’ Lounge – a space where dads can find support from experts on issues like work-life balance, the evolving role of fathers, and adjusting to being a new father.
• Big Apple Circus Performers! With jugglers, clowns and other performers from the Big Apple Circus engaging children, it’ll be like your family has won free circus tickets!
