Both Days Rock (The Red Carpet): The LA Baby Show is on from 10 am to 4 pm on both Saturday (Nov. 5) and Sunday (Nov. 6).

More to the point, both days are equal in programming and other delights, so just pick the day that’s more convenient for you.

Saturday (Nov. 5): The show opens with a brief ribbon cutting ceremony led by Ali Fedotowsky —the beloved TV personality, fashion blogger, former “Bachelorette,” and new LA mom herself.

Sunday (Nov. 6): The show opens with the help of Awestruck Vlogger and LA Mom, Cristina Bentley, who entertains and informs parents about baby and child gear on her You Tube series Cristina Tries It All.

Ease, Comfort, Parking & Great Food: The Baby Show has special comfort zones—the Moms’ Lounge, the Dads’ Lounge, and several lactation stations—that allow people to rest when they want to, and enjoy the show at their own pace. There will also be a variety of food trucks and eating areas in and outside. Plus, the venue—the Magic Box (at The REEF) in Downtown, LA—is a warm, gorgeous, expo-size space, with lots of convenient parking.
