Skip Hop Australia - Smart Nappy Bags, Zoo Backpacks and Baby Accessories
Skip Hop is an American baby accessories brand founded in New York in 2003 by parents who wanted genuinely better-designed products for their own families. Skip Hop nappy bags, activity toys and kids backpacks are now sold in over 50 countries. Peekaboo Baby is an authorised Australian retailer for Skip Hop, stocking the full range including the Forma nappy bag, Zoo backpack range, stainless steel drink bottles and activity toys for babies and toddlers. All orders over $129 ship free across Australia from our Melbourne warehouse.
The Skip Hop range covers everything from newborn through to school age. Parents buying a Skip Hop nappy bag can pair it with a matching Zoo toddler backpack for their older child, then move into the feeding and drinkware range as solid foods start. Skip Hop products are designed to be used across multiple stages, which makes them a practical long-term investment. Browse the full range at baby bags and explore the dedicated kids backpacks category for the complete backpack lineup.
Skip Hop nappy bags
The Skip Hop Forma nappy bag is the brand's most recognised product in Australia. It is a structured backpack with a magnetic top closure, multiple interior and exterior pockets, an insulated bottle pocket and a removable foldout changing mat. The Forma is designed to carry everything a parent needs for a full day out while looking like a regular backpack. Available in Jet Black, Navy, Dark Sage and other neutral colourways, it suits both mums and dads. The Skip Hop Main Frame Wide Open nappy bag offers a different approach - a large open-top design for parents who prefer fast, easy access over a structured pocket layout.
Skip Hop Zoo kids backpacks and harnesses
The Skip Hop Zoo backpack collection is designed for toddlers and young children from 12 months through primary school age. The Zoo Little Kid backpack suits children from around 18 months and is a popular daycare and kindy bag. The Zoo Kids backpack is sized for children from about 3 years. The Zoo Mini backpack with safety harness is designed for toddlers from 12 months and comes with a removable safety rein for crowded spaces. All Zoo backpacks include a safety chest clip and adjustable shoulder straps. See the full Skip Hop Zoo backpack range at Peekaboo Baby.
Skip Hop feeding accessories and activity toys
Skip Hop produces a broad range of feeding and mealtime accessories for babies and toddlers. Zoo straw water bottles, stainless steel Wander bottles and Zoo cutlery sets carry the same animal character designs as the backpacks. Skip Hop activity gyms are designed for newborns from birth and are a staple in Australian nurseries. The Explore and More activity centre is designed for babies from around 4 months and develops into a walk-behind toy. Browse kids drink bottles and activity toys for babies for the full Skip Hop selection.
What to look for in Skip Hop products
Functional pocket layout - Skip Hop nappy bags are designed with a dedicated insulated bottle pocket, a quick-access exterior pocket for keys and phone, and an interior organiser so you can find things without digging around.
Changing mat included - The Forma and several other Skip Hop nappy bags include a foldout wipe-clean changing mat stored in its own external pocket - ready to use without removing anything from the bag.
Neutral colourways - Skip Hop bags are designed in contemporary neutral tones (black, navy, sage, grey) that suit both parents and work as an everyday carry beyond the baby stage.
Zoo character range cohesion - The Zoo backpack, drink bottle, lunchbox, plate and cutlery sets all share the same animal character designs, making it easy to build a coordinated set for toddlers and school-age kids.
BPA-free materials - Skip Hop feeding products including water bottles, plates and utensils are made from BPA-free materials. This applies across the Zoo range and the stainless steel Wander bottle line.
Age-staged product range - Skip Hop offers products from birth (activity gyms, baby monitors) through to school age (backpacks, lunchboxes, drink bottles), so families can stay with the brand across multiple stages.
Pair Skip Hop with other Peekaboo Baby essentials
A Skip Hop nappy bag pairs well with a quality change mat or portable change station from the nappy changing range. For parents building out their nursery, the Skip Hop activity gym works alongside products from the baby play gym category. If you are comparing nappy bags across brands, Storksak and OiOi are popular Australian alternatives also stocked at Peekaboo Baby.
