Really?

Maybe I'm a naive FTM, I know kids are messy but really? I just can't stop thinking of bubble boy...

Ummm, those are the best bibs ever! They mean I don't need to strip my kid down before they eat to avoid stains, or put her in a tub because we had spaghetti. We also use them for sensory play and painting. So go ahead and judge, but my kid is NOT in a bubble and I don't spend my free time trying to get stains out of her clothing.

We used those at the daycare when the kids painted or did the water table. I wouldn't use them at home because i can just strip DS down.

Hehe those look pretty awesome for a daycare where parents bring their kids in fancy clothes

Naive first timer it is. I heard really good things about the bibs might have to throw on of these on the registry!

I don't have those but they look like a great idea. Some moms are ok with their kid being messier than others. I don't want my kid messy and I don't want her clothes stained. We use this for most messy meals... https://www.drugstore.com/products/prod.asp?pid=506759&catid=182581&aid=338666&aparam=506759

To answer your question, they're so messy sometimes that crap will end up in places that bib doesn't cover for sure. lol

Hehe, just wait til you let them feed themselves.

ETA: As in the pic, (google images, btw, not my kid) if your house is warm enough, just take their clothes off. They are getting a bath after no matter what. We always took shirts off if we were going to have messy foods. Even when you are feeding them baby food, they spit half of it out and a lot of baby foods are orange.

Those bibs are awesome. And you'll still find food all over them. If I don't have to go on stain removal patrol every time he eats, it's a win in my book.

I strip my guy down at home but that bib would be awesome at a restaurant.

Looks great for painting time. Not sure how necessary it'd be for meals. We just push DS's sleeves up and use a bib if it's going to be messier, or if we're home, he just gets stripped.

These look pretty good. I just roll DD's long sleeves way up and put a huge bib on her that covers her shoulders and upper front on up. There is even a little pocket at the bottom of the bib that catches some food pieces she drops.

If I know I'm making spaghetti for dinner or something with a dark sauce, I'll put her in a darker shirt and treat it right after she eats if there is a mess.

My mother in law has a bunch for when her grandkids come over to eat, ha!

AutumnBonfire · March 2014

I can't say I feel the need for that with DS. He wears a regular bib and I roll up his sleeves. He gets food all over his face, but not too much on his arms and shoulders. Now if only they'd come up with some kind of bib/hat he'd keep on so he can't run his food covered hands through his hair like he usually does.

I neeeed one of these for me. I can't seem to go a meal without wearing some of it and fishing it out of my bra!

Those bibs are awesome!! My DD has several.

BW1088 · March 2014

I just Pinned this because I love it that much.

I'm thinking more for finger painting or "helping" Mama make cookies, but even when we're out to eat it would be nice! Now that I think about it, I might need 2 or 3 of these..... 8->

I'm cool with messes but Ds wrecked some clothes and that is just annoying. Food and oil stains. IT's more fun to strip the mess off of something like that, then to put in the effort cleaning and not doing other fun things. Life's too short and cleaning up after children happens too often, any little bit helps.

kmawb · March 2014

I just wanted to add that if you're thinking of something like this for arts & crafts only the actual bibs can be a bit pricy but IKEA sells a 2-pack of art smocks that have full sleeves and are way more affordable.

Exactly! And I have been disappointed when a really cute outfit my DD was wearing became permanently stained because I thought (for unfounded reasons) she wouldn't be messy "THIS time." I finally accepted that I had to strip her down to a diaper when she was in her high chair. I'm prego with #2 and I'm assuming it will be the same way.
