Skip Hop Forma Diaper Bag Backpack Review (2027)

Organized parents who like packing in cubes, and who hang the bag on a stroller every day.

The Forma ships with two packing cubes plus a changing pad: one mesh cube and one insulated cube. Used as intended, the cubes split the bag into zones before anything is packed, so baby gear and parent gear stop mixing in the main compartment. That separation survives the day better than pocket dividers, because a cube can be pulled out, used and put back as a unit. Water repellent, easy-clean fabric means the shell itself wipes down fast after bottle leaks, which matters when the cubes are doing the organizing and the shell is doing the protecting.

Cubes take space. When both are packed, the main compartment looks smaller than expected, and parents who expected a roomy 8 x 14 x 16 inch bag plus two cubes of free storage will be disappointed. The honest way to use the Forma is to treat the cubes as the storage, not as an addition to it, and to leave one cube behind on light days. The 1792 cubic inch storage volume and the padded sleeve to 15 inches still make it a capable day bag once that mental shift is made.

Built-in stroller straps are a small feature with daily value: no clips to buy, lose or forget, and the bag hangs ready every time. The insulated cube suits standard bottles better, and wide bottles fit less easily, which is the same standard-bottle pattern as most of this guide. Parents using wide bottles should plan for main-compartment bottle storage and use the insulated cube for the rest of the kit.
