Saturday, October 25 – Sunday, October 26 | Canada Place

You know that feeling when you’re scrolling through baby registry lists at 2am, completely overwhelmed by the sheer number of stroller options? I’ve been there. We’ve all been there.

The good news? The Vancouver Baby Show is coming back to Canada Place on October 25-26, and honestly, it’s like someone condensed all that research into one very manageable weekend.

What Makes the Vancouver Baby Show Worth Your Time

Here’s the thing about preparing for a baby (or adding another little one to your crew): there’s so much stuff out there. The Vancouver Baby Show brings together over 100 brands—everything from local Vancouver businesses to the big national names—all in one place. We’re talking strollers, car seats, prenatal vitamins, nursing essentials, and yes, all those adorable tiny clothes.

The show is presented by the Canadian Scholarship Trust Foundation (CST), and they’ll actually be there with information about education savings. I know, I know—your baby isn’t even sleeping through the night yet and someone’s talking about university. But if you’re a planner (or want to be), it’s actually smart to hear about it early.

Free Stuff You’ll Actually Use

Let’s talk about the samples, because this matters. You’re not getting those tiny perfume samples that make you wonder why anyone bothered. The Baby Show gives out full-sized products—things you’d actually buy and use—and they come in a free reusable bag from BioGaia.

Some of the brands you’ll find include TJ’s The Kiddies Store, Royale Diapers, Zarbee’s, Peg Perego, Munchkin, Ddrops, Guzzie + Guss, Baby en Route, Coco Village, Nest Designs, and Orange Naturals. These are real products from real brands.

Expert Talks & Hands-On Learning

Throughout the weekend, parenting experts will be giving talks on everything from babywearing (which back position is actually comfortable?) to car seat safety (because those instruction manuals might as well be in hieroglyphics). There’s also advice on pre and postnatal care, which is genuinely helpful whether you’re pregnant with your first or figuring out recovery after your third.

Because Parents Need Care Too

Here’s my favorite detail: West Coast College of Massage Therapy is offering complimentary massages right at the show. Free massage while your partner watches the stroller? Yes, please. The show organizers clearly get that parents need breaks too.

And if you’re bringing older siblings, there’s a photo opportunity with Peppa Pig. My toddler would lose her mind.

How to Save on Tickets

Tickets are available now at thebabyshows.com, but here’s your insider tip: use promo code VMOM241 for 2-for-1 general admission tickets when you buy online. Bring your partner, your mom, or your best friend who just announced she’s pregnant too.

The Vancouver Baby Show really is a time-saver. Instead of spending weeks researching products online and reading contradictory reviews, you can see everything in person, ask questions directly, and actually test out that fancy stroller before committing.

I’ll probably see you there—I’ll be the one trying to decide if I really need another baby carrier while my husband reminds me we already have three.
