Pram parking
Our pram parking bay gives you a simple place to leave the pram and move through the expo more easily. It is set up for parents and caregivers who want both hands free for browsing, talks and quick stops at the feeding lounge.
What pram parking includes
Pram parking is a visitor facility set aside for families who do not want to push a pram through every aisle for the full visit. The bay is positioned on the visitor route so drop off and collection are quick, and the area is monitored by the event team during opening hours. You receive a matching claim tag when you leave the pram, then collect it again when you are ready to move on.
This service is meant for ordinary day use during the expo. It helps when aisles feel busy, when you want to attend a short talk without manoeuvring a pram into a seating area, or when your child is being carried and the pram is just becoming one more thing to manage.
- Clearly marked pram parking bay for ticketed visitors
- Staffed handover point during expo opening hours
- Simple matching tag or claim check process
- Space for standard prams, strollers and folded travel systems
- Nearby access to the rest of the visitor route
How the process works on the day
When you arrive, head to the pram parking bay before starting your walk through the halls. A team member will check that the pram is suitable for the bay, note any obvious accessories left attached, and hand you a claim tag. Keep that tag with you while you visit exhibitors, take a comfort break or attend one of the short talks.
When you want the pram back, return to the same bay and present the claim tag. The team will match your tag to the stored pram and release it back to you. Collection is done on the same day before the expo closes, so please collect before you leave the venue.
- Step 1: Arrive at the marked pram parking bay
- Step 2: Hand over the pram for a quick check-in
- Step 3: Receive and keep your claim tag
- Step 4: Walk the expo, attend talks or use the feeding lounge
- Step 5: Return with your tag to collect the pram
What to prepare before you leave your pram
Please remove valuables, wallets, phones, cameras and personal documents before handing over the pram. If there is a shopping basket under the seat, take out small loose items as well. The bay is for pram storage, not for shopping bags, cool bags, nappy stock, medical items or personal electronics.
It also helps to fold away sun shades, clip-on toys and hanging organisers if they make the pram unusually wide. If your child will be out of the pram for a while, check that you have the basics with you first. Parents often realise too late that wipes, a muslin or a spare dummy were left behind.
- Remove valuables and important personal items
- Take your nappy bag, feeding items and medicines with you
- Fold or secure loose accessories where possible
- Keep the claim tag safe until collection
- Collect the pram before you leave the expo
Suitability, limits and practical details
The bay is intended for standard prams, lightweight strollers and travel systems used by visitors on the day. Very large wagons, battery powered mobility items and oversized display equipment are not part of this service. If a frame is muddy from rain or has leaking drinks, the team may ask you to clean or empty it first so the bay stays tidy for other families.
Space is managed carefully because visitor flow changes through the day, especially around talk times and busier morning arrival periods. If you are travelling with twins or have a bulkier unit, arrive with a little extra time. The team will guide you to the correct spot and let you know if a folded position is preferred, which keeps the bay moving better for everyone.
How pricing and access work
Pram parking is handled as a visitor facility rather than an item that is costed by pram size, wheel type or storage time. Any visitor charges for the expo itself are confirmed through the official booking process and visitor information pages, not at the bay. If a specific tour stop has different access rules, these are shared before the event so families know what to expect.
We do not publish made-up rates or promise the same arrangements in every city because hall layouts can differ between Johannesburg, Pretoria and Durban. If you need clarity on access, suitability or how the facility will run at a particular stop on the tour, please use the enquiry form on our contact page and our team will reply.
Aftercare and collection tips
Once the pram has been returned to you, do a quick check before leaving the bay. Make sure your basket items, rain cover, cup holder and clips are where you expect them to be. If something looks wrong, tell the team member there and then so it can be checked while the handover is still fresh.
After collection, you can continue to the feeding lounge, the talks area or back through the halls. If your child needs a feed, a nappy change or a quiet reset before you head home, plan that stop before reaching the exit. It makes the trip out easier, and saves a rushed unpack in the car park later.
For safety and hygiene, general baby care choices should always follow your own routine and any advice from your clinic or midwife. Our role is to provide a practical family facility on the day, not personal care guidance.

Questions we get asked
Can I leave bags in the pram while I walk around?
Please take all valuables, nappy bags, feeding items and medicines with you. The bay is for the pram itself and attached basic accessories only.
Do I need to fold the pram before handing it over?
Usually no, but the team may ask for a folded position if space is tight or if the pram is unusually wide. They will guide you on the day.
What if I lose my claim tag?
Speak to the team at the bay straight away. Extra identity and ownership checks may be needed before release, so collection can take longer.
