Mums and dads can find out how best to look after their offspring at a special event.

The Pregnancy, Baby and Toddler Fair has been organised by the Basildon, Billericay and Wickford branch of the National Childbirth Trust.

Stalls will include nursery equipment, reusable nappies, maternity wear, handmade children's shoes, traditional wooden toys and information on day nurseries.

The council's car safety roadshow will also be in attendance helping parents choose the right child seat for their car.

But there is plenty of time to arrange a babysitter. The event is not being held at the Belvedere, in Crays Hill, Billericay, until May 8, 2004. For more details on the trust, call 01268 765618.
