Time to pack those nappy bags (for those who have little ones of their own) and shove those prams into the car and head down to Sydney's Pregnancy, Babies and Children Expo. If you're expecting or planning a family, then you definitely want to come this year's e Expo, on once again at the Sydney Showground Exhibition Centre, Sydney Olympic Park with doors opening from Friday.

You'll find anything from children/baby furniture, clothing, education and childcare resources to baby photography resources and more. Just have a look at the extensive expo exhibitor listing
