Best of New York Family 2003

Best Kids' Furniture and Gear

  • Schneider's Juvenile Furniture

    41 25th St. near Sixth Avenue, 212-228-3540

The 53-year-old family-owned establishment is home to all the au courant brands of strollers, cribs, and the like—Maclaren, Inglesina, Perego—but sells them for 10 percent or more off retail.

The knowledgeable staff can help even the most clueless rookies get what they need—and they deliver (for a fee) anywhere in the tri-state area.
