The first-ever Baby Expo in Dubai promises a treat for parents, whether they’re newcomers to the world of parenting or seasoned veterans welcoming a new addition to the family. Taking place at the Dubai World Trade Centre over the weekend, this event offers a comprehensive array of products and services catering to babies, toddlers, and expectant mothers.
According to a survey conducted by Censuswide and commissioned by Baby Expo, UAE parents typically spend an average of Dh98,880 during their baby’s first year, underscoring the importance of events like this. Numerous brands are seizing the opportunity to unveil their latest offerings at the expo.
Among the highlights is Cybex’s Avi Spin stroller, tailored for active mothers and families keen on adventurous outings. Boasting a front swivel wheel for easy maneuverability, air-filled tires, and an ergonomic lie-flat position suitable for newborns, it’s a practical and stylish choice for parents on the go.
Hum Mum, a local baby food company, is making its debut with a range of healthy puree pouches and child-friendly biscuits, while Shein presents organic cotton babywear by Cozy Cub and Nabi Baby introduces its organic silk and Merinowool collection.
In addition to product launches, the expo offers invaluable resources for parents, with expert speakers covering topics ranging from newborn care to early childhood development. Workshops on first aid, sleep training, and nutrition provide practical guidance, alongside a symposium tailored for entrepreneurial mothers.
Esteemed guests such as radio personality Kris Fade, makeup artist Joelle Mardinian, and business owners Russell and Lindsay Kane add star power to the event. Maternity experts from King’s College Hospital Dubai are on hand to offer medical advice, while the Mumpreneur Collective Conference addresses business-related topics for aspiring mompreneurs.
Despite its focus on parenting, the expo doesn’t forget the little ones, featuring a range of family-friendly activities including soft play zones, sensory stations, and baby massage sessions. Mystery goody bags add to the excitement for attendees of all ages.
