About Skip Hop

At Skip Hop, we create baby and toddler essentials made for real family life. From playtime and mealtime to bath, nursery, travel, and everyday outings, our products are designed to help parents handle daily routines with more ease, more function, and more thoughtful detail. Our focus has always been simple: make the things families use most feel smarter, easier, and better to live with.

Brand Story

Skip Hop was founded in New York City in 2003 with a clear point of view on modern parenting products. We build around a simple idea, Must-Haves Made Better. That means rethinking everyday essentials so they do more than fill a need. They should work well, look good in the home, and fit naturally into daily life with babies and toddlers. 

What We Make

Our collections cover the moments families move through every day. We create products for playtime, mealtime, bath time, travel, nursery use, and life on the go. That includes activity centers, high chairs, bath tubs, diaper bags, kids bags, toys, feeding gear, and other baby and toddler essentials designed to support different stages as children grow. 

What We Are Known For

Skip Hop is known for combining practical function with playful, modern design. Many of our best-known products are built to grow with children and stay useful across more than one stage. Our activity centers are one of the clearest examples of that approach, pairing interactive play with longer-term use in a design parents can live with more easily day to day. Across categories, we focus on products that feel intuitive, durable, and thoughtfully designed from the start.

How We Design

We design for the way families actually use baby gear. That means thinking about how products are carried, cleaned, adjusted, stored, and used over time. It also means creating items that feel practical without feeling dull. Our design approach brings together utility, comfort, and personality, so the final product feels useful in daily routines while still reflecting the playful side of childhood.

Part of the Carter’s Family

Skip Hop now is part of the Carter’s family of brands. That gives our brand the support of a larger company while allowing us to stay focused on the categories and product experience that define Skip Hop. Together, that combination helps us keep building baby and toddler products that families know, use, and come back to across different stages of early childhood.

Skip Hop Focus Today

Today, Skip Hop continues to build products for modern family life with the same goal that shaped the brand from the beginning: create everyday essentials that work harder, feel better, and make parenting a little easier and a little more fun. From our activity centers to our travel gear, bath products, toys, and toddler bags, we design with real use in mind and keep families at the center of what we make.
