The editor's view
CBME suits parents arriving with a practical shopping question: comparing strollers, asking about warranty service or understanding how a product works.
At this maternity-and-baby industry exhibition, a few prepared questions are likely to be more useful than an attempt to visit every stand.
- When
- 19–21 November 2026, 09:00–17:00. Check the official notice and visitor-registration conditions before attending.
- Where
- SECC, 799 Nguyen Van Linh Street, District 7, Ho Chi Minh City
- Tickets & conditions
- Admission pricing is not yet clearly published; register as a visitor and check conditions before attending.
Compare what matters in daily use
Exhibition sectors include strollers, car seats, furniture, hygiene products, nutrition and educational toys. Choose two or three practical criteria and ask the same questions at relevant stands: folded size, cleaning, repairs or included accessories. Brief notes help comparisons afterwards without relying on memory. A busy stand or persuasive presentation does not tell you whether a product fits your home, car or family routine; those everyday details deserve the most attention.
Browse to understand before deciding
With two adults, one could listen while the other notes follow-up questions, then swap roles at the next stand. When bringing a small child, prioritise a few relevant sectors and leave detailed comparisons until afterwards. Claims about nutrition or development deserve separate consideration from specifications and sales terms. Reading the total cost, returns and warranty before deciding is more useful than focusing only on an exhibition discount or a limited-time sales message.
A trade exhibition at SECC
CBME runs 19–21 November 2026, 09:00–17:00, at SECC, 799 Nguyen Van Linh. Parents are among its intended visitors, but check registration, admission and accompanying-child conditions beforehand. Plan for products and services rather than a children's play festival. If one brand or discussion is your main reason for attending, confirm its presence and exact appointment; the exhibition's opening hours do not mean every activity takes place throughout the day.
A plan that is enough
Reopen the official source for “CBME Vietnam 2026 – International Children, Baby and Maternity Fair” on the day of the visit; check timing, venue and entry terms.
Choose the relevant product zones in advance; peak crowd time is not ideal for comparing products with young children.
Ask about ingredients, standards, warranty and the full cost before buying or sampling.
