What is Gearapalooza? An expo dedicated to baby gear. Created by Bump Club and Beyond this expo is for moms to get together and learn about baby gear. Additionally, it’s  a great opportunity to hear seminars about parenting.

Where? Gearapalooza started as a six city tour and this year expanded to twelve cities. .

How? You get a ticket. It includes light dinner, bingo card (which could score you some really nice prizes) and a gift bag.

What makes this expo special is that they have partnered up with Jamie Grayson, The Baby Guy NYC. He is the featured speaker. He discusses five categories: car seat, stroller, mattress, baby carrier, and breast pump.

If you are a mom to be or a new mom, you need to know about Gearpalooza. The great thing about this expo in specific is that it is held in local baby stores where you can purchase what you need. The New Jersey stop at Nesalee Baby in Livingston. This was a super chic baby store, and another benefit of the expo is that you can create your baby registry with discounts. The New Jersey stopped included exhibitions by Bugaboo, Chicco, 4 Moms, Beco Baby Carriers, Nuna USA, Stokke, Maxi Cosi, Uppa Baby, and Dr. Smiths Diaper Ointment.

The swag bag was awesome. It had some great stuff like Skip Hop Pronto Changing Station, Maxi Cosi Footmuff, MAM bottle and my item was the Stokke foldable bath.
