The 10 Best Cities for Babies

Parents researched, graded and ranked cities across the country to determine the perfect locales for young families.

How We Ranked Them

Pediatric experts and mommy bloggers helped us determine 35 important factors for young families to consider when moving with baby. If info wasn't readily available, we dug it up, calculating what your taxes will be, the odds of having a sex offender on your block, even the number of baby swings in the parks. We gave the 100 biggest U.S. cities a letter grade in five categories.

Our Grading Key:
A-- Awesome
B--Very Good
C--Not Bad
D--Below Average
F--Terrible
