NYC area parents: Come see us at the New Parents Expo this weekend!
If you're a NYC mom or mom-to-be, you'll want to clear your calendar one day this weekend for the New Parents Expo at Pier 92, hosted by our friends at New York Family Magazine.

You'll find more than 100 exhibitors featuring the best brands and services for pregnant and new moms, babies and toddlers. Plus a stroller test track and tune up, a play area for your kiddos, and tons of awesome prizes. As in, you could walk out with a $1500 nursery from giggle, a free spa weekend getaway, a professional photography session, and a ton more.

Plus there are some amazing speakers, like keynote Dr. Harvey Karp (who doesn't love him?), Rosie Pope, Liz Lange, Dr. Bob Sears, and even our own publisher Kristen Chase, who will offer up some awesome tech tips and hot gadget picks for all the new moms of the world.

(Tip number one: Smart phone. Trust us.)

We also love the whole New Dad's Panel on Saturday; so nice to see the menfolk included in an expo for a change.

If you're going, please make sure to look for Kristen on Sunday and say hi! We'd love to see you there.  -Liz and Kristen

Grab tickets for this weekend's New Parents Expo on the website. The first 1000 ticket holders get free gift bags. Cool!

EXTRA COOL: WIN IT! We've got 25 vouchers (good for 2 free adults on either Saturday or Sunday) up for grabs. If you're in the New York area and would like to attend the New Parents Expo, be one of the first 25 people to send an email to NewParentsExpo@manhattanmedia.com and mention COOL MOM PICKS. And if you're attending, make sure to catch Kristen talking tech for new parents on Sunday at 2:30pm.
