CBME China , Children Baby Maternity Expo takes place at National Exhibition and Convention Center (Shanghai), Hongqiao in Shanghai from 14 July to 16 July 2027. Baby, children and maternity products.
What the fair covers
Toys, games and products for babies and young children are the focus. Baby, children and maternity products. That shapes both the exhibitor mix and the questions worth preparing before you arrive.
Dates, venue and getting there
The fair runs from 14 July to 16 July 2027 at National Exhibition and Convention Center (Shanghai), Hongqiao in Shanghai. It runs for 3 days, which is short, so deciding which halls to prioritise before arriving makes a difference. Shanghai hosts more international trade fairs than any other city in China, and its two main venues sit on opposite sides of the city. Check which one your fair uses before booking a hotel, because crossing Shanghai in exhibition traffic can take well over an hour. The metro is extensive and almost always faster than a taxi during fair weeks.
Planning your visit
The fair is most useful for judging quality differences that photographs hide. Materials, stitching, finish and packaging all become obvious in person, and minimum order quantities and price breaks are usually easier to negotiate face to face. For CBME China , Children Baby Maternity Expo, that means preparing ahead of the July dates and arriving with a target list of stands.
Language and interpreting support
Most exhibitors are Chinese manufacturers, and while larger stands often have English speaking sales staff, that is not something to rely on across a whole venue. English tends to run out exactly where it matters most, once a conversation moves to specifications, tolerances, materials and pricing terms. Buyers working with an interpreter generally cover more ground in a day, because they can negotiate directly rather than through a phone app. An interpreter already working in Shanghai saves further time simply by knowing the venue and how to move around it.
After the fair
The follow-up work is about protecting the first order. Packaging and container loading affect how much arrives saleable, and unit price means little if a proportion is damaged in transit. Buyers commonly arrange a pre-shipment inspection and check packing specification separately from product quality.
