Customer Reviews

A perfect baby shower gift

I received City Baby as a gift at my baby shower. It has become an essential part of my backpack. It helped me when I was looking for furniture, selecting a Lamaze class and so much more. It introduced me to playgrounds in my area as well as child-friendly restaurants. I have met new friends at a new mother's group. I would recommend this book to native New Yorkers as well as newcomers like me.

It's like talking to a good friend

Reading City Baby is like talking to a good friend who has already had a baby in New York City and lived to tell about it. The authors of City Baby really did a great job by not just writing a typical list book. They provided the little bits of information that can actually help a new parent be a smart parent. Thanks.

Great resource for city parents

As someone who is new to New York with a baby, this book has shown me all that I need to know about what to do in NY with a baby. I found all the places to buy a stroller, crib and all. I also was turned on to the New Mothers Luncheons through the book. I also found a really great babysitter through an agency that was listed in City Baby. I think this book is a must have for all New York parents.

Great Gift, and now an L.A. Addition Coming Too!

Not only is this a must-have resource for rasing your little ones in New York, but it makes a great gift for all expecting or new moms. And, I hear from my friends in Los Angeles that they a local L.A. addition will be out in the next few months.

Good resource

I found this book very helpful when searching for hospitals and prenatal classes, and continue to find it a good resource when shopping for baby gear and looking for fun activities. It has a great chapter on Brooklyn as well as a thorough listing of Manhattan resources. Most of the information has been right on the money and when we trekked all the way down to avenue U to MB Discount Furniture in Brooklyn because the book said it was just about the best place to buy quality furniture, we were not disappointed. Some of the resources they include do seem a little silly (music classes for three month olds?) but the fact such oddities exist here is the reason New York is the most colorful place to raise kids! Worth buying if you live close to the city.
