    I've been entering baby comps as my daughter has a baby & is pregnant with her second - have won toiletries, baby food & a bottle cool bag - not had any big wins at all. Pushchair Trader offer a pay for service & they recok over 90% of wins come from "vip" members

    I won £250 of mothercare vouchers from a comp on here last year, and i've won various books. The vouchers just turned up one day, that was the first I knew if the win!
    It's nice to win stuff, but there are other ways to save on baby costs too, second hand etc.
    Good luck.

    I've been entering baby competitions since finding out I was pregnant in March. I won a Quinny Buzz pushchair and accessories worth about £800 on a Facebook competition in July, a Moses Basket and stand worth about £100 on another Facebook competition, plus a couple of smaller baby items. Actually, it's all been Facebook competitions. I seem to have been quite lucky with baby prizes. Good luck :)

    Have often wondered if any Pushchair traders comps are won by non "VIP" members :)

    I've had quite a few baby wins :) so far have won a bycarla coverlet, baby suncream, a baby nose clear set, a newborn baby hamper, a little tikes sandpit and my best win so far - a years supply of huggies little swimmers, a waterproof camera, a water babies swimming course and a £100 mamas and papas voucher.

    I enter most of the baby site competitions, but I've had lots of small wins from babyworld and baby expert, my big win (and my only win from that site in over a year of entering) was from babywebsite.

    I haven't managed to win a single baby competition either - with only 3 months left before our due date I'm thinking it might be best to give up and start buying the things we still need as I am scared to leave it too late and not have things that we need!

    I entered thousands of wedding competitions in the year prior to our wedding and never won a single thing from those either.

    Just the luck of the draw :)
