About UrbanBaby

Since its launch in 1999, UrbanBaby has been an invaluable resource for urban parents.

The heart of the site is Talk, our lively message boards section, where parents come day and night to share, discuss and ask questions related to parenting and their lives as parents. Talk is a place for honest, uninhibited discussions, quick answers, banter and community.

In addition to our message boards, we offer in-depth local information for New York and San Francisco, local message boards for additional urban areas, and we will be rolling out new local resource guides in 2008. We also offer general parenting and product news & tips in Buzz.

The site was founded by Susan and John Maloney and was acquired by CNET Networks in 2006. We are proud of our community of loyal users, and hope that you will find the site useful and entertaining. Please send us feedback and suggestions!
