Review: Finally!!! A book written especially for L.A. moms. The waiting has paid off because City Baby L.A. is full of fabulous tips and advice on everything from shopping to preschools!

Summary: ONLY for wealthy westside: Bev Hills, Bel Air, Santa Monica
Review: I agree with the reviewer from Hermosa Beach. This guide only covers the wealthy westside of LA. How about the rest of LA?There is an entire valley left out called the San Gabriel Valley! The westside of LA distinguishes itself with astronomical prices which shock those of us who live on earth. I speak as one of the few earthlings who live in this part of town. When the guide says that the baby clothes made by Fred Siegel are reasonably priced, that's a definite sign that this guide is only for the affluent and has an altered sense of reasonable prices. The preschool list is helpful, but again, this list ONLY covers the westside of LA. Am I repeating myself here with "westside only"?

Summary: Great guide!
Review: I am so happy that there is finally a comprehensive guide to having and raising a baby in Los Angeles. I first saw a blurb about the book in this month's InStyle, and even though the article was captioned "411 on (213)", the book covers 310, 818 and 323 and very little 213. This will be a great gift for both the expectant mothers, and for those with young kids. I have already picked up a dozen for Mother's Day gifts at the Pump Station.

Summary: It's About Time!
Review: It's about time that us LA residents got a taste of what NY moms have known about for awhile. This guide book is a "must have" for new parents in LA. It has already provided terrific advice for my friends and I. Even parents who have already had kids will benefit from the contents of this book.

Summary: A Must Read for LA Moms!!
Review: Navigating LA as a new mom is no easy task but this book maps out the world of LA motherhood in a guide that is easy to read and reference! City Baby LA is full of great advice and information with the most up-to-date places to shop, explore, and enjoy! After reading this book I grabbed a highlighter and went back through to remind myself of shops I'd like to go see and places I look forward to taking my 2 year old son! I feel like I just spent an hour with a group of girlfriends who as experienced moms just gave me the inside scoop on how to get the most out of what LA has to offer!

Summary: Don't shop at Tiny World in Los Angeles
Review: OVERALL, THE BOOK HAD SOME GOOD INFO SUCH AS MOMMY AND ME CLASSES AND THE PUMP STATION, ETC. BUT IT SHOULD HAVE HAD A CHAPTER CALLED "DON'T EVER SHOP AT TINY WORLD" BECAUSE THEY NEVER HAVE ANYTHING IN STOCK AND THEIR SALESPEOPLE ARE NOT VERY KNOWLEDGEABLE. THEY ARE NOT COMPETENT AT ALL AT INSTALLING CAR SEATS....IF YOU CARE FOR YOUR BABY, DO NOT BUY ANYTHING FROM THIS "SUPERSTORE"

Summary: Great - if you live on the Westside
Review: This book is entertaining, but the vast majority of the resources provided are located in the Santa Monica/West LA area or the San Fernando Valley. Other parts of LA such as Glendale/Pasadena and South Bay/Long Beach are only mentioned if there is a shop or attraction that warrants the hike all the way out there.

Summary: City Baby L.A. - Dont buy it, use a phone book.
Review: This book is pages and pages of listings of things like daycare centers and their phone numbers. It is also geared toward the woman who is about to have a baby a lot. Dont waste your money. Buy "Baby's day out in Southern California" which is the great book recommended by the triple-A.
