So let’s dive a bit deeper and find out every single detail about this incredibly well designed and stylish backpack.

SAFETY | Water-Resistant Backpack

The backpack is made of water-resistant polyester so it doesn’t let the moisture in. You can be sure that the diapers and clothes will stay dry at all times and ready for use. With that said, it is not a waterproof backpack so make sure you don’t submerge it in tall water. It is sturdy, comfortable, and easy to adjust. Skip Hop Forma Backpack is free of BPA and phthalates.

It is obvious that Skip Hop makes high-quality bags because this backpack has impeccable seams. The straps are really firm and well connected to the backpack. You can also place it on a stroller because it has stroller straps as well. They might look a bit weak but they really aren’t. Just make sure that the backpack is properly connected to the handles. If the backpack is heavy and packed with various items, avoid placing it on a stroller because it might tip it.

Good padding goes a long way when it comes to backpacks. You will immediately notice that the straps are well cushioned which means that Skip Hop Forma Backpack will sit comfortably on your shoulders once you adjust the length to your frame. You can carry it for hours without feeling uncomfortable.

Skip Hop Forma Backpack is quite large and spacious. It has a total of eleven different pockets that will let you organize your things properly and keep everything visible. Once you unzip the main compartment, you will see how roomy it is. The inside is clear and bright so you will have a full view of the contents of the bag.

It is perfect for diapers, snacks, or an extra pair of clothes, depending on your little one’s needs. The bag has two elastic pockets on the back as well. You can also get an organizer if you feel more comfortable using one but there might be no need for that because you can still section out everything neatly.

We also have to mention that the front pocket is perfect for a mobile phone, wallet, or any item you know you’ll be using often. Every compartment is secured by a zipper with the exception of the side mesh pockets which are used for carrying bottles. Unfortunately, they are not insulated which means that your drinks will not stay warm or cool after placing them in this backpack.

Maneuverability

What we love about this backpack is the fact that it will free your hands. If you are not fond of carrying weight on your shoulders, you can always connect it to your stroller and it will become a very useful stroller bag. You will also receive a changing pad which has its own little compartment at the back. You can quickly pull it out when needed and change diapers on the spot.

We have to mention that the insides can be modified and more organized by adding different boxes for various items you might carry inside. It is incredibly versatile and you can create the perfect diaper bag that is well organized and useful. However, dividers are not mandatory and you will be able to find an exact spot for each and every item you plan on carrying.
