It's vinyl of some sort, so it's always rinsed and ready for the next meal. It folds up inside itself, so if you don't feel like wiping it out away from home, you just fold it up and stick it in the diaper bag. And it creates an on-the-go food catcher tray, so my toddler can mingle at parties while still eating while still catching crumbs in her "trough." These bibs are totally the way to go!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1807022363279638349.post-49718688267740921662007-11-08T10:43:00.000-06:002007-11-08T10:43:00.000-06:00Hi!

She has a knack for getting food even under her bib and that's the only way to make sure her clothes stay clean.

Second thought is to bite the bullet and get some of the cloth bibs that pull over the head. That's what we've used, and I love them. My mom always got the kids a couple in their Christmas stocking and such, which means we have plenty. When one is dirty, I just toss it in the laundry and don't have to see it again until I get around to actually doing that laundry.jenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17276488490995122450noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1807022363279638349.post-20282746508760891642007-11-07T18:00:00.000-06:002007-11-07T18:00:00.000-06:00I am also a HUGE fan of the Baby Bjorn bib, althou...I am also a HUGE fan of the Baby Bjorn bib, although they're a wee bit pricey.Katehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05960950786462948625noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1807022363279638349.post-43700027828415592862007-11-07T16:46:00.000-06:002007-11-07T16:46:00.000-06:00I have no suggestions.

I found it at a craft store and it looks alot like a hand held hole puncher. But you can also buy the snaps and hand sew them on, too. I just put the snap over the velcro on our existing bibs!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1807022363279638349.post-20982893469925613982007-11-07T06:45:00.000-06:002007-11-07T06:45:00.000-06:00We use these...http://www.amazon.com/Baby-Bjorn-Bi...We use these...<BR/><BR/>http://www.amazon.com/Baby-Bjorn-Bib-Blue/dp/B00081Q6LI<BR/><BR/>We have one for each of our boys.
