Baby essentials since 2003

Must-haves made better

Every parent knows the gear that gets used every single day — the bag, the bath rinser, the plate, the stroller organizer. We take exactly those things and redesign them until they work beautifully.

The pieces that end up in every nursery, every diaper bag and every bathtub.

The character collabs

JJ from CoComelon, Blippi and Meekah — redrawn in Skip Hop hardware: snack cups that don’t spill, steel bottles that stay cold, backpacks sized for preschool.

Designed Around Real Days

Our first product existed because diaper bags kept sliding off stroller handles. Twenty years on, every Skip Hop design still starts with a real, specific parenting annoyance — and ends when it’s gone.

Safety Before Style

Everything that touches a baby is tested to or beyond applicable safety standards — and the mealtime and teething lines are made without BPA or PVC. The playful looks come second; they just don’t look like it.

Grows With Your Child

Activity centers that convert to play tables, bath tubs with stages, cups that step up with motor skills — gear designed to be used for years, not outgrown in a season.

The characters kids reach for

Function first — but it’s the faces that get a toddler to hold still for a hair rinse or carry their own lunch.

Moby the Whale

Moby the Whale

The whale that made bathtime civilized: spout covers, waterfall rinsers and staged tubs. Moby quietly runs the whole bathroom.

The Zoo Crew

Butterflies, pugs, unicorns and dinosaurs on snack cups, bottles and backpacks — the characters kids pick before they can explain why.

Plush animals hiding an agenda: rattles inside, crinkle in the ears, and a teething bandana that unclips on demand.

A produce aisle turned play collection: avocado guitars, jittery cacti and a beet that drops actual beats.

From one smarter diaper bag to a whole world of better

Skip Hop was founded in New York City in 2003 with a single product: the Duo, a diaper bag that finally hung flat on a stroller. That habit of fixing the obvious thing nobody else had fixed became the whole company — bath time, mealtime, playtime and every ride in between.

Skip Hop — Twenty Years of Making the Essentials Better

In 2003, two new parents in New York City had a problem every stroller-pushing parent recognizes: the diaper bag would not stay put. Ellen and Michael Diamond designed a bag with patented clips that hung flat against the stroller handle, named it the Duo, and founded Skip Hop to sell it. The idea behind that first bag — take something every parent uses daily and quietly fix everything wrong with it — turned into one of the most recognizable names in baby gear.

Today the range covers the whole first-years landscape: diaper bags and on-the-go changing gear, the Moby bath collection with its famous whale rinser and spout cover, Explore & More activity centers, Zoo mealtime and backpack characters, stroller and car accessories, teethers, toys and nursery essentials. Different shelves, one habit: obsessive, parent-tested detail.

What Makes a Skip Hop Product

The Characters Kids Reach For

Somewhere along the way, Moby the whale stopped being a spout cover and became a member of the family — and the Zoo crew of bees, owls, foxes and unicorns followed onto plates, backpacks, towels and nightlights. The characters are not decoration on top of the function; they are the reason a toddler willingly holds still for a hair rinse or carries their own lunch. Any parent who has negotiated with a two-year-old knows exactly how much engineering that is.

Built for the Long Haul of Early Parenthood

Baby gear lives a hard life: dropped, chewed, hosed down, packed and unpacked a thousand times. Skip Hop products are built for that reality — reinforced seams on bags that carry more than they were ever supposed to, toys that survive the washing machine trips they were never promised, and mealtime pieces on their third child. When something is used every single day, quality is not a luxury; it is the whole point.

What the ratings say

We do not print testimonials with names attached. Below are the public rating totals these products carry, and our own reading of what such a number can and cannot measure.

4.8 average from 11,898 ratings

Nearly twelve thousand ratings settling at 4.8 is about as close to consensus as baby gear gets. A rating that high on a cold-weather item usually means one thing: it did its single job — a warm baby in a cold car seat — without a catch the owners felt like reporting.

Winter Car Seat Cover, Stroll & Go, Black

4.7 average from 12,904 ratings

The Zoo snack cup family carries almost thirteen thousand ratings at 4.7. Numbers like that on a three-dollar-problem product (spilled crackers) suggest the flaps really do let small hands in and keep gravity out. What the number cannot tell you is which animal your toddler will insist on.

Baby Snack Container, Mealtime Snack Cup, Butterfly

4.7 average from 7,368 ratings

Over seven thousand ratings at 4.7 for a silicone spout cover. High marks on safety items tend to be earned in non-events: bath after bath where nobody bumped their head. That is exactly the kind of review a faucet guard should collect.
