Parent Stress

New York, NY January 9 2004–After their son was born, Ellen and Michael Diamant tried out a variety of different diaper bags, but just couldn?t find one to meet all their needs ? a stylish bag they could both use and one versatile enough to attach to a stroller and be carried over the shoulder. With no products on the market that fit that description, they decided to create it themselves. The Skip Hop duo was born!
The Skip Hop duo?s groundbreaking strapping system allows it to clip neatly and securely over the handle bars of any stroller and then quickly and easily convert to a hip, over-the-shoulder, messenger-style bag. With its clean, modern design, it?s the one bag that parents will take with them wherever they go. Before the duo, parents would sloppily hang their diaper bag on the stroller by its shoulder strap, resulting in it being inaccessible, dragging on the ground and even being kicked. With its unique stroller straps, the Skip Hop duo is the first fully-featured diaper bag designed to solve all these problems, and unlike bags designed exclusively for moms or dads, the duo?s unisex style looks great on both. It?s the hardest working bag in the baby business!
?We live in the city and are constantly on the go with our son. Before creating the duo, all we could find were diaper bags that were meant to be worn over the shoulder or inadequate mesh bags that hung on strollers but offered little in the way of true diaper bag storage or portability,? recall the busy New Yorkers. ?We created the duo because we wanted a bag that was versatile enough to hang on the stroller, work as a shoulder bag and keep our personal items like our phone, wallet and PDA safe and dry. As demanding New Yorkers, it also needed to be hip. A bag that would fit our urban lifestyle.?

Its innovative design was created with convenience, function and style in mind. Its multiple compartments are large enough to hold and organize diapers, bottles, sippy cups, food and toys while allowing parents to keep all of their personal stuff safely tucked away from wet and messy things. And its versatility, durability and style doesn?t come at a price. With a highly competitive price point, the duo is accessible to all parents, offering exceptional value and innovation without compromise!
The Skip Hop duo is water resistant, cleans up easily and is highly durable. It includes a cushioned changing pad and comes in a wide variety of basic and cutting edge colors, from the company?s signature red, to a trendy camouflage, to a sleek charcoal gray that complements many popular strollers. It is available at better children?s specialty stores and on the web at www.skiphop.com.
