Zoo Luggage Named Best Travel Product 2012 by Junior Magazine!

We're over the moon to announce that we've been included in super-chic UK magazine Junior's 2012 Design Awards, named "Best Travel Product" for our new Zoo Luggage! It's an honor to be included alongside such phenomenal brands as Stokke, Bugaboo and many others.

Design innovation has always been a cornerstone of the process of creation at Skip Hop, and we constantly aim to bring products to market that change the way we interact with everyday wares. It's a testament to our mission to have been considered as a nominee for the award, and we are proud to accept such an accolade.

Here's to great design, and more innovation in the future!

Skip Hop Goes to Boston for Drool Baby Expo!

Earlier this week, the Skip Hop team was in Boston for the 2nd Annual Drool Baby Expo. Boston mamas are lucky to have Magic Beans in their own backyard to put on the baby extravaganza. Alongside top brands in baby gear, Aden + Anais, Bugaboo and Oeuf, we loved meeting all the new and expectant parents!

Denise Richards Spotted with Nixon Duo!

We've seen Denise Richards tout her Skip Hop goodies while out with her kiddos—earlier this year on the town and years ago at the beach. Her Duo in Jonathan Adler's Nixon pattern makes another cameo, this time while strolling with her little girl Eloise. We're loving having her (and her adorable family) as fans! Image via Babble.com.

Big City Moms New York Baby Shower

Just when we thought the Big City Moms Baby Shower couldn’t get any better, it does!  We were so excited to be a part of yet another successful baby shower, each more fabulous than the last. Wednesday night’s event was jam packed with celebrities, seminars, vendors, treats and most importantly – the swag! Each attendee walked away with serious goodie bags and prizes from top vendors, including Skip Hop!

Bento Mealtime Kit featured on the TODAY Show!

This morning on the Today Show, Pregnant in Heels star (and mom of two boys with her third expected any day!) Rosie Pope showed off her favorite products for making life a little easier. Not only did she name our Bento Mealtime Kit (complete with our Clix containers, of course!) as one of her must-haves, but if you look closely you'll see a cameo of our City Stripe Duo, exclusive to Babies 'R' Us. What would you add to her list?

Gabriel Aubry spotted with a Zoo Lunchie!

Just when we thought our Bee Zoo Lunchie couldn't get any cuter, an A-list model decides to tote one around! Halle Berry's ex, Gabriel Aubry, was seen out and about with his 4-year-old daughter Nahla carrying a lunchie in the sunshine. Seems like a pretty sweet Spring outing to us! See more photos of the pair here and grab your own lunchie here. (photo via Daily Mail)
