baby show

The UK’s much-loved Baby Show has been running for the last 15 years. This year The Baby Show & #MeetUp, with Meg Faure, sponsored by Pampers, bring that super successful formula to South African parents, grandparents and parents-to-be, for the first time.

Staged at the Kyalami Grand Prix Circuit and International Convention Centre, September 28 – 30, the highly anticipated event is expected to attract over 15 000 visitors. ‘Learn, prepare, try and buy’ is the event’s motto, with several top brands joining forces to present a fantastic weekend of learning and family fun.

On the Saturday of the event, Pampers presents the #MeetUp workshops, where Meg Faure will facilitate relevant and informative talks between the visitors and top experts in pregnancy and childcare. Pampers #MeetUP is aimed at parents-to-be, and parents with children aged 0-4 where Australian research associate Dr Danielle Prime will be discussing medical research into human milk. For deprived mums, sleep expert Dr Alison Bentley will be giving sleep saving tips, and for the fathers and male role models out there, best-selling author and ‘dad coach’ Craig Wilkinson will get into those sometimes difficult to talk about topics, such as why don’t many SA men step up to fatherhood? Also talking about his recent surrogacy experience and being a single dad, will be former referee, Jonathan Kaplin, in the Parent Sense workshop, aptly titled “Winging it”.

At the Pick n Pay Baby Club catwalk stage, powered by Jacaranda FM and MC’d by health and fitness guru Letshego Zulu and Radio DJ Rozanne McKensie, the latest in maternity, baby and toddler fashion and accessories will be showcased, alongside fantastic kid’s entertainment.

Our judges will be real parents and parents-to-be. Fun learning activities and games for all. And best of all some of our fans will walk off with awesome Tommee Tippee prizes.

To help you set your child up for lifelong success, experienced Old Mutual financial advisers will be on site. They will demystify financial planning for your family and unpack everything you need to know about education planning. Visitors will also have an opportunity to check out some of the exciting digital tools available to parents, such as Future Mirror, a fun online app that helps you envision different careers for your child using your own photos!

While the event is packed with activities, such as the Bepanthen Changing Room, the Colief Colic Clinic, The Dis-Chem Well Baby Clinic and Hello Kitty Fashion Show, relaxation for sleep-and-treat-deprived parents isn’t forgotten either. The Vicks Pampering Zone will be ready to roll with time-out activities for all, while a safe and secure crèche operated by OptiBaby, will keep the little ones entertained.

Every essential need has been carefully considered, starting with FREE parking for all and never-been-seen-before in SA is the tried-and-tested UK model of a FREE shop & drop and collect-by-car service, powered by SA’s favourite parenting website, Parent24.com. This service is provided to go the extra mile to make the day as easy and as enjoyable as possible so visitors can take the worry out of carrying heavy or lots of purchases around the show. Kyalami International Convention Centre, which also holds pole position as Africa’s largest Grand Prix Circuit lends itself to the most fantastic opportunity for all visitors to drive down into the “pitlane” at the end of the day, to collect the days shopping and their bulk Pampers purchases, with friendly and professional porters to help with the heavy lifting and awkward loading.

With The Baby Show & #MeetUp with Meg Faure, sponsored by Pampers festivities begin early. Those who participate in the online #MeetUp survey and book their tickets in advance, will stand a chance to win a BabiesRUs GIFT REGISTRY worth R35 000!

  21. Export regulations for Copper scrap Copper wire is a good conductor of electricity and is commonly used in electrical wiring. However, it is not suitable for use as a fuse wire because of its low resistance. A fuse wire is designed to act as a circuit protection device by melting and breaking the circuit if too much current flows through it. This helps prevent damage to the electrical equipment and also prevents the risk of fires or electrocution. The resistance of the wire decides the amount of current that flows through it. A copper wire with low resistance would not be suitable as a fuse wire because it would require an excessive amount of current to melt it. This could cause damage to the electrical equipment or allow too much current to flow, leading to a fire hazard. In contrast, typical fuse wires are made from materials with relatively higher resistance, such as nickel, tin, or lead. These materials are chosen because of their low melting point and high resistance, which allows them to melt and break the circuit when too much current flows through them, thereby protecting the equipment and the user from any harm. Therefore, it is important to use the appropriate type of fuse wire based on its electrical properties. Using a copper wire as a fuse wire could be dangerous and result in damage to the equipment or injury to the user Metal scrap recovery facility Copper scrap import regulations Copper scrap weighing Integrated copper recycling Copper extrusion scrap buyer Scrap metal reclamation processes

  22. Copper refining processes Copper is an essential material used in the computing industry due to its excellent electrical and thermal conductivity. In fact, copper is the preferred material for delivering electricity and removing heat from electronic devices, such as computers, smartphones, and other modern gadgets. This is because copper allows for fast and efficient energy transfer, making it critical for delivering power to computing devices and reducing heat buildup. The use of copper in computing dates back to the early electrical circuits and telegraph systems, where copper wire was used to transmit electrical signals. In the late 1800s, copper also played a crucial role in the development of the telephone, as it allowed for improved signal quality and longer distance communication. Over the years, copper has become the go-to material for connecting the various components inside electronic devices, from processors and chips, to memory modules and graphics cards. One of the key advantages of copper in computing is its high thermal conductivity, meaning it can easily conduct heat away from hot components. This is important because electronic devices generate large amounts of heat during operation, which can cause components to overheat and fail. Copper heat sinks and heat pipes are commonly used to dissipate heat, allowing electronic devices to operate at optimal performance levels. Another advantage of copper in computing is its ductility and malleability, which makes it easy to shape, bend and form into various sizes and shapes. Copper wire is commonly used to connect components in electronic devices, due to its flexibility and low resistance to electrical current. Copper also has a high melting point, which means it can withstand high temperatures without deforming or melting. Copper is also a highly sustainable material, as it is 100% recyclable and has a long lifespan. This makes it an ideal material for reuse in future computing devices, helping to reduce the environmental impact of electronic waste. In conclusion, the use of copper in computing has remained essential for several decades, due to its unique properties that facilitate efficient energy transfer, fast communication, and heat dissipation. The widespread adoption of copper in the computing industry has made it an indispensable material in modern-day electronics, and its sustainability and recyclability have helped to make it a more eco-friendly choice Scrap metal reclamation and reutilization services Copper scrap auctions Value of Copper scrapCopper scrap importers Copper scrap customer engagement Copper scrap consolidation Metal reclaiming process
