All your parenting needs will be in one place at The Essential Baby and Toddler Show held in March. We’re super excited to announce that this will be their first time in the sunshine state and they definitely have loads of special activities planned for everyone.
Not only will it be their first time in Brisbane for The Essential Baby and Toddler Show but it will our debut also. As most products in the Lyn’s Label range are hand-made (right here in Brisbane) we have been working day and night to get our beautiful collection ready. With visitor numbers expected to be more than 10,000, that’s a lot of people and a lot of sewing!
I recently had the pleasure of interviewing the gorgeous Nicole Thomas from The The Essential Baby and Toddler Show Team and by the sounds of it, visitors are in for a treat!
If you are planning on popping into the show be sure to road test the complimentary Lyn’s Label Maya Portable Change Mattresses in the Baby Change Rooms! You will find us nearby at stand F23.
Have a fabulous day & we hope to see you at the SHOW!

What is The Essential Baby and Toddler Show and what can your attendees expect over the weekend?
The Essential Baby & Toddler Show is coming to Brisbane for the first time on 4-6 March 2016. And if you register for your ticket before 5pm AEST, 3 March, it’s FREE to attend!
Visitors can enjoy a fantastic day out for the whole family at the Show. Shop from more than 100 brands including Natalie Bassingthwaighte’s Chi Khi and Lyn’s Label. Head to the Advice Hub for personalised, one on one consultations with the Australian Breastfeeding Association, Parentline, Gidget Foundation and more on a range of parenting topics.
New and expectant parents or carers can attend our seminars on the Main Stage featuring experts such as Pinky McKay, whilst your little ones can enjoy live shows and meet & greets with Peppa Pig and Animals Rock!
We’re also excited to announce a limited series of First Aid courses by Child Revive, in addition to their free demonstrations at the Show.
How long has it been running & in what cities?
2016 marks our eighth year in Australia. We have annual shows in Melbourne and Sydney (and now, Brisbane!)
What made you decide to host in QLD?
Visitors and Exhibitors often ask us if we’re going to be coming to Brisbane, and the question for us has always been ‘when’, and not ‘if’. Just like planning a family, timing is everything.
We’ve worked hard over the past 8 years to create a beautiful and stylish environment for new and expectant parents in Sydney and Melbourne to come and gain advice, be entertained and of course shop for all the necessities needed for this amazing parenting journey. Over the past few years our event has grown and matured into what we believe to be the best parenting event around, and we’re excited to now finally be able to share it with thousands of new Queensland families.’
What makes The Essential Baby and Toddler Show different from other major baby and parenting shows?
We’re not just a baby expo. Yes, we have fantastic local and international brands supporting us at the Show and engaging with our visitors, and that is a large part of our event. Along with this, we’re also able to provide our visitors with access to Australia’s leading parenting organisations, giving them the chance to meet them one-on-one and ask any questions or talk through any concerns in person. We also provide amazing entertainment and play areas. Peppa Pig is coming to Brisbane with us as well as Shelley Craft’s children’s band Animals Rock!
Who should come to The Essential Baby and Toddler Show & what exciting activities will be on offer?
Expectant and new parents seeking information and advice about the world of parenting, grandparents, parents with babies and toddlers, friends looking for that perfect baby shower gift, and more!
What is your role in The Essential Baby and Toddler Show & what is the most exciting thing about your role?
I am a Sales Executive here at the Essential Baby & Toddler show, my role is based out of Sydney and I am responsible for finding amazing brands and businesses to attend the shows across our Brisbane, Melbourne & Sydney shows. Account Management is one of the key parts of my role as I have over 100 exhibitors and counting that I personally look after across all three shows. I have been with the team since July 2015 and there are so many things I love about my role but mainly I love the fact that I get to talk to and meet so many inspiring businesses very much like Lyn’s Label. I also love being onsite and watching it all come together – seeing my exhibitors do well is the most rewarding part of my job.
We are constantly looking for new businesses to join our shows should you know of anyone please send them my way Nicole.thomas@fairfaxmedia.com.au or 02 9282 1305.
