(New York; January 1,
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.
Skip Hop is committed to developing
innovative parenting solutions that make day-to-day
living easier for moms and dads. The focus is on
