Due Date for Baby Expo Chicago 2017 is Sept. 9 at Moraine Valley

PALOS HILLS, IL -- Get ready for Family Time Magazine’s Baby Expo -- the biggest of its kind in the Chicago region. Baby Expo 2017 is coming to Moraine Valley Community College (9000 W. College Parkway, Building M, Palos Hills) Sept. 9. The Expo runs from 10 a.m. to 7 p.m.

Whether you are expecting a little one or already have children, your family will enjoy this event for one-stop shopping and gear for babies of all ages. The Baby Expo features the newest and most unique merchandise and services available for the care of babies. Some of the featured products at this year's expo are not yet available in stores and the first 500 people to attend the expo will receive free gift bags.

"There is nothing more precious than a baby," states Caroline O'Connell, organizer of the Baby Expo and publisher of Family Time Magazine. "I try to get a little bit of everything for families, things you cannot get at a regular store."

This year's Expo will feature over 40 booths where parents can find baby medical services, baby care supplies, stylish diaper bags, professional photographers, childcare centers, safe furniture, baby/children's clothing, neighborhood parks and museums, enrichment programs, child book stores, libraries and more. Parents and grandparents can also check out expert demonstrations on car seat safety, strollers, high chairs, pack- and-plays and more.

Special guest speaker Janel Hughes, a breastfeeding expert from the Will County Health Department, will speak on sustaining breastfeeding and networking for the common good of helping women breastfeeding in the Chicago and south suburban areas.

There is plenty to keep older siblings occupied, too, including pony rides, singing and dancing, face painting, balloon twisting and a bounce house for kids, characters and a baby diaper derby. Fun and exciting giveaways will be handed out throughout the event, including the latest baby products, a Diono Radian RXT Car Seat valued at $360, a Maru and Friends doll, a Babies R US gift card and more to be announced. Last year, the Expo gave away a top-of-the-line, 3-in-1 stroller/trailer from Allen Sports.

Tickets to Baby Expo 2017 are $10 for adults and $2 for kids ages 2-12. Babies are FREE. Purchase tickets in advance on EventBrite. For more information, visit Chicago Baby Expo or Family Time Magazine.
