This is probably a silly question, given that it's a 'Parent and Child' show, but can anyone who's been before confirm that they have have a decent feeding / changing area, or at least somewhere where it's easy to find a seat and give Bubs a feed? I'm tempted to go, but really couldn't be bothered if I have to hunt around for somewhere to feed and change him... -------------

Hopes the show itself is in a big hall, outside the hall there is a cafe and it's a huge area as well as an outside area with steps where heaps of people sit and eat/drink rest. As for changing - I'm not sure as I was pregnant last year and didn't need it or look for it but I would imagine they would have somewhere for you to use. ------------- http://lilypie.com">

one thing i would add is avoid taking a pram expecially on a saturday. It's grid lock !! -------------

Thanks guys 
Hmmm... I can see how that would be the case, LJsmum, but I'm not going to be able to avoid taking it if I go, if I'm there for anything more than an hour he'll need somewhere to sleep. -------------

Hopes go later in the arvo like 3pm and you should be fine thats when we went last year and we had no problems. But definitely a big space inside provided for changing, feeding etc. It is open plan so if your a bit self conscious take a wrap/blanket to drape over yourself as cos of course there are dads in there too ------------- http://www.myfitnesspal.com/weight-loss-ticker">

Thanks for asking that question - was thinking the same thing. Although thought it would be a bit dumb not haven't any decent facilities being the P&C show and all. Went last year on the Sunday and the crowds weren't too bad, so will prob go on Sunday again. ------------- http://lilypie.com">  http://lilypie.com">
