Experience Safe Babywearing at Australia's Leading Baby Shows
The Australian Babywearing Association is a proud sponsor of the PBC Baby Expo, offering an invaluable resource for parents across the country. Through this partnership, parents can access hands-on experience with trusted baby carrier brands alongside expert guidance. With 12 expos held annually in major cities such as Brisbane, Gold Coast, Sydney, Canberra, Melbourne, Adelaide, and Perth, families have year-round opportunities to explore a variety of babywearing options. The hub showcases carriers from reputable brands that adhere to current best practices in safety and ergonomics, aligning closely with the values of the Australian Babywearing Association. With expert educators on hand, parents receive personalized advice to choose the right carrier and learn proper usage for both comfort and safety. This initiative fills a crucial gap by giving parents the chance to try different carriers and access direct support that isn’t always available in traditional retail settings.
