Skip Hop Diaper Bag Backpack: Forma, Multi-Function Baby Travel Bag with Changing Pad & Stroller Attachment, N Review (2026)

Who this diaper bag backpack is for

Parents who use a stroller regularly and want a bag that stays off their shoulders during walks are the clearest fit for the Forma, since its padded straps and built-in stroller attachment are designed around that specific use case. It also suits organized packers who like dedicated pockets for specific items rather than one large compartment they have to dig through, since the bag ships with two removable packing cubes for sorting gear by category. Because the main opening is wide and the layout is structured, it works well for two-parent households where either adult needs to find a bottle or a diaper quickly without a rundown of where everything is kept in the bag.

What the compartments, cubes and stroller straps offer

According to the listing, the main compartment has an extra-wide opening with a two-way zip closure, and a front section, also two-way zip, gives access to the two included packing cubes for sorting smaller items. Two insulated side pockets hold bottles at temperature, while elasticized interior pockets and a dedicated cell phone pocket keep small items from sinking to the bottom. The changing pad pocket doubles as space for a tablet or laptop up to 15 inches, which is a useful crossover for a parent who also uses the bag as a day bag. Padded backpack straps adjust from about 13 to 28 inches, and built-in stroller straps let the bag hang from the handlebar instead of sitting on the stroller seat.

Living with it day to day

At roughly 16 by 8 by 14 inches, the Forma is a mid-size backpack that comfortably holds a day's worth of diapering supplies, a change of clothes and the two packing cubes without feeling overstuffed. The stroller straps are the standout daily-use feature, since clipping the bag to the handlebar frees both hands for pushing the stroller and lifting the baby, rather than juggling a bag on one shoulder. The wide top opening means you can see most of the main compartment at a glance rather than fishing around blindly, which speeds up changes when time is short. The insulated pockets are worth using for anything temperature-sensitive, since they hold cold or warm items noticeably longer than an uninsulated pocket would.

Trade-offs and how it compares with rivals

Against the RUVALINO diaper bag backpack, which scores slightly higher at 8.6 in this guide and also includes insulated bottle holders and a changing pad, the two bags compete closely on features, and the choice often comes down to style and exact pocket layout preference. Against the same Forma bag in the Jet Black colorway, which scores an identical 8.4, this is purely a matter of picking whichever color and print suits your style, since the construction and pocket layout are unchanged. The clearest limit of the Forma's structured design is that it holds its shape rather than collapsing flat, so it takes up more storage space when not in use than a soft, unstructured diaper bag would.

Verdict and who should pick something else

For stroller-heavy routines where hands-free carrying and organized packing cubes matter, the Forma earns its 8.4 out of 10 score in this guide with a well-thought-out set of compartments and insulated pockets that hold up over daily use. Choose the RUVALINO diaper bag backpack instead if a slightly higher overall score and built-in insulated bottle holders matter more than Skip Hop's specific brand and layout. Choose a soft, unstructured diaper bag instead if minimizing storage footprint when the bag is empty matters more than the Forma's structured organization and dedicated packing cubes.
