bond359 Posted July 21, 2017 Share Posted July 21, 2017 (edited) Hello all, Im hoping to get some feedback from anyone who has been to LFCC with a child/toddler before and whether they found there was space in the venue for a pushchair? and any other hints/tips you may have for me! Thanks in advance! Alan Edited July 21, 2017 by bond359 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Raylenth Posted July 21, 2017 Share Posted July 21, 2017 Do you mean to push it around? There are many attendees in wheelchairs who manage to get round ok though obviously there are a lot of people. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bond359 Posted July 21, 2017 Author Share Posted July 21, 2017 Yes maneuvering round I ment but yes good point. Hadnt thought of that. Still would be keen to hear of any other parent experiences. Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stephen1985 Posted July 22, 2017 Share Posted July 22, 2017 There is room but people are not very forgiving. Took a pushchair one year and heard lots of muttered "why would you bring a baby." Might have had something to do with the fact that it was the busiest comic con I have ever attended and you literally couldn't move. It has been a lot better the last 2 years.

one of vicky's bfs Posted July 22, 2017 Share Posted July 22, 2017 As Raylenth says, we have wheelchair users, I was one last year. Something to bear in mind is that some areas are just so busy that a wheelchair or pushchair is quite low down compared to a person standing and so the amount of 'sorries' do stack up when others accidentally knock against you. Just be prepared for that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ah was that at Earls Court. Think we attended that one and it was very hectic and boiling hot. I had a feeling people wouldn't be too forgiving. Thanks.

Just be prepared for that. Yeah I had a feeling some bits would be a real struggle. Plus I think we would hit ankles in some bits too. Thanks.

RomeroSavini Posted July 22, 2017 Share Posted July 22, 2017 I would be most worried about people falling into my child's buggy and hurting my child. Many people have no manners at all and are in such a rush to get somewhere they will never see a push chair or pram and I would just be worried of someone ending up in it. It can be extraordinarily busy at times, even I can struggle to get past people, never mind with a buggy. Some areas are blocked with hundreds of people loitering and you can be stuck for a bit, again never mind with a buggy. All I can say is good luck :-D 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cavs Posted July 23, 2017 Share Posted July 23, 2017 I took a pushchair in 2015 to Olympia was fine. V.busy but no comments from other visitors or bumps. Quite handy for loading up with merch as well tbh! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Omg me too almost last. 2015 it was a toss up between dehydrating so didnt need to wee or hydrating and fighting to get to toilets. I remember almost crying in queue for toilet after queueing in MJF photo queue for ages. Not a good experience. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
