Everything you need for Moms, bumps and toddlers

One of the exhibitors at the Indaba will be Memories 4 Ever, who offer visitors a range of unique and diverse products which can be personalised with captions, photo's and even children's artwork.  Products in their range include mugs - ideal canvas for photos, photo tiles, aprons, bibs, snow globes and much much more!

In fact, everyone with an interest in babies, children and parenting will find something new and exciting at Baba Indaba. You will view and experience everything that you could possibly want for bumps, babies and toddlers; all under one roof.

The Baby and Toddler Entertainment Area is unsurpassed and provides endless entertainment, with thrice daily shows with the real Takalani Sesame characters , who will be on stage with their shows. Other favourite cartoon characters will also be around to amuse and entertain the kids.

maternity wear and baby clothing provide further entertainment while a huge variety of baby goods, baby products, nursery furnishings, prams, nutritional and medical products satisfy the retail demand.
