Albee Baby has been a New York City fixture since 1933, when Alexander Weintraub opened a bicycle repair shop and began helping local parents with stroller repairs — eventually expanding into a full baby gear destination. Today, his grandchildren Robby and Ilan run the business and have grown it into one of the top online and in-store destinations for baby goods in the country.
Located at 715 Amsterdam Ave on the Upper West Side, the store carries strollers, car seats, nursery furniture, high chairs, layette, and toys from premium brands including Britax, Bugaboo, Stokke, Maxi-Cosi, Peg-Perego, and many more — including brands not typically found at big-box retailers. Staff are known for their personalized, no-pressure approach: they'll ask about your home setup (walk-up stairs, subway commute, trunk size) and let you take strollers outside to test them on real steps.
Entry is free, there's no registration required, and the store is stroller-accessible. Pair your visit with a walk in nearby Central Park or a trip to the American Museum of Natural History, both just a short stroll away. Closed Tuesdays — check the website for current hours before visiting.
