About Us

Welcome to CITIKIDS Baby News store, San Francisco's largest children's department store. We carry everything from bottles and bibs to strollers and cribs.

This web site is designed to introduce you to our store. The products included here are a small sampling of what we find to be the latest, not-widely-distributed, unique, and most useful products for babies and toddlers. We literally have thousands of items in stock in our 7500 square foot (700 square meter) store, ranging from baby care items, baby-proofing items and hardware, car seats and strollers, infant's and toddler's clothing (including hard-to-find preemie clothing), to furniture and toys.

Business Philosophy
Our store is dedicated to providing consumers with helpful, current, information that will allow them to make intelligent choices when it comes to purchasing baby equipment. In making an analysis of each customer's needs, we can recommend the right product for the situation; yours, not ours.

Selection
CITIKIDS has the largest selection of baby goods in the Bay Area. We have the largest selection of strollers and car seats anywhere! We find that you cannot make an intelligent choice unless you can actually see and feel the products you are considering side-by-side. We also carry car seats that are U.S. Federal Aviation Administration approved for use on-board airliners.

Product Knowledge
In addition to helping you make the most informed choice possible, our knowledgeable sales staff can guide you through the proper assembly, installation, and use of all of our products. We will even assemble your purchases right in the store if you so desire.

Service
  CITIKIDS emphasizes CUSTOMER SERVICE both before and after the sale. We take as long as you need to thoroughly understand a product, and the choices you are making. Therefore, we chose to not place our sales staff on commission, so that we can provide service tailored to your needs in a personable, low-pressure, atmosphere.

Delivery
We offer shipping options and a delivery service to your door if in store pick-up is not possible. We can ship out of state, and in some cases, out of the country. Delivery service to your door is typically $55 within San Francisco.
