Moms get more than they expected!

Expectant moms from all over NYC came together on June 16th at Kidville on the Upper East Side to get great advice from the experts and to meet other moms who are due around the same time! They talked about everything from what to bring to the hospital and what to expect the first three weeks after baby is home. A handful of lucky moms-to-be walked away with the Splash, Toolbox, and a selection of our new Funky Farmyard Toy Collection!

Skip Hop takes St. Louis!

Skip Hop was well represented last week on the KMOV Channel 4 morning show, "Great Day St Louis" when one of our favorite moms, Ria Sharon from www.mymommymanual.com, stopped by to show the coolest baby gear this year! Lucky for newscaster (and soon-to-be new dad) Matt Chambers, Ria was able to give him a quick download of the hottest products in 2009. Lucky fo rus, the Skip Hop Duo diaper bag and Pronto were chosen!

Thanks Ria!
