Los Angeles babies are lucky; they get places like Hollywood, Santa Monica, Long Beach, and Beverly Hills as their playgrounds from the moment the little starlet is born. On the topic of firsts, a baby's first year is a collection of memories waiting to happen—for Mom and Dad, anyway!  

Los Angeles is the best place on earth to raise kids, and it’s filled with magical moments and places you can enjoy with children. World-class museums, restaurants, and entertainment will make your kiddo quite the cultured connoisseur from a very young age. Plus, living in LA means (almost) never being trapped indoors with a fussy baby. Here are our favorite ways to introduce your little Angeleno to the joys of SoCal living. Pack a diaper bag, sling a stroller in the back of the car, keep this checklist handy, and get ready explore LA, baby-style.
