Greg & Beth Crane are the owners of the new USA BABY retail store, along with their daughter Tracy.

According to Greg, “USA BABY is a great place to shop; we carry everything new parents need. We are a one-stop specialty retail infant and children's furniture store.”
In fact, this is why the Cranes went into business; they wanted to help new parents find what they want and need for their babies. According to Beth, “Having a baby is a special time in a person's life. We want to help parents provide for their children’s most basic needs. Building memories is an important part of building a family, and through our business we can provide families the things they need to help build the kinds of good memories that will last for generations.”
Tracy adds, “Our philosophy is, first and foremost, customer service, along with providing quality merchandise at good price points and extensive product knowledge so every customer leaves with a pleasant experience and more information on the products available than when they walked through our doors.”
USA BABY provides parents with all the necessities to welcome their new arrival home. Our store offers designer room vignettes where parents can actually see how their baby's room can look in a large selection of styles, colors and finishes. This, plus a wide array of cribs, rockers, bassinets, dressers, car seats, strollers, carriages, changing tables and more – all with choices of fabrics and styles, makes USA BABY the perfect place to shop for your baby’s needs.
The new store also provides parents with grooming and bathtime helpers, travel accessories, Avent Feeding Systems, exercisers and developmental toys, books and puzzles, as well as the necessary child-proofing products like baby monitors, electrical outlet shields, drawer locking clips and more. You will be able to find what you need to make your baby’s room cozy and comfortable. Your baby’s room will truly be a place where you can nurture and care for your child in a safe and comfortable environment.
Greg & Beth’s new store also includes a CHILD SPACE section, which serves the needs of parents with young and teenage children.
