Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)These are the BEST BABY FEEDING bibs on the market. Nothing else comes close. We have 3 children and over the years we've used maybe 30-40 different bibs (6 or so different styles from maybe a dozen or so different manufactures) and the Baby Bjorn bibs are far and away the best bibs for feeding babies.
Positives:
1) Easy to wash.Food just rinses right off with soap and warm water in seconds without ANY lasting residue
2) Dishwasher safe.This is a huge plus when most other bibs need to go through the laundry for a thorough cleaning.
3) The bottom pocket works exceptionally well. Many bibs have a pocket for catching food that drops, but the problem is that the design prevents the pockets from staying open, so food often just rolls on by. Try it with most plastic bibs on the market. You can pull the pocket open, but as soon as you let go, that pocket flips back up closed. Not so with these bibs. The pocket is molded plastic which is always open and designed to always catch virtually everything that drops.The pocket also can literally hold a cup of water (or formula or spit-up) without leaking (trust me, it will happen eventually).
4) Indestructible. These bibs are made from a soft, smooth, flexible plastic which no amount of chewing or banging or anything will damage. We've had some of ours for 3 years (used by multiple children) and they still look like new. No cracks, chips, scratches or food stains. (One's got some dog teeth marks but even our lab had a hard time making a dent.)
5) Difficult for the child to remove. I won't say it can't be done. My one year old little boy has done it a couple times, but only after pulling with all his might for a prolonged period of time.Usually he tries, gives up and goes back to eating.
6) Coverage - This bib is large and will virtually prevent all baby food and drink from getting on any clothes. The only exceptions being if the child dribbles down their chin and neck and it goes under the top of the bib or if the child grabs the food and places it under the bib on their clothes directly (happens occasionally).
7) No smell - never ever. Virtually every other single type of plastic bib that we've purchased has started to smell sooner or later. The plastic coating cracks a little and water gets in underneath and soon after they start smelling. The smell indicates that mold is growing whether you can see it or not. Washing does little to help since the underlying cloth behind the plastic doesn't dry out. These Baby Bjorn bibs are one piece of molded plastic, not some plastic coating over a cloth, so there's no fabric to smell. The plastic washes/wipes clean.
8) Nothing to swallow - Some of our other plastic bibs - those with plastic coatings over a cloth - start to crack and eventually the plastic coating can chip and peel. Obviously you'd throw those away as soon as you noticed, before any plastic could be ingested, but that's not NEVER a problem with these Baby Bjorn bibs. Being flexible, soft molded plastic they never seem to crack, chip or peel so there's nothing that potentially could be ingested.
9) Long Lasting - As I mentioned earlier, we've had some of these bibs for over 3 years. That's 3 years of constant, daily use by multiple kids, and they still look like new. My eldest used them up until she turned 3. Not necessarily because she needed a bib that last year, but more as a precaution to prevent food/drink spillage on a nice outfit before school or when we were out in restaurants.
10) These bibs are on Parents.com Best Baby Products 2008 list as well as a number of other "best baby products" lists.
Negatives:
1) These are not for infants and only seem to come in one size. Babies under maybe 5 or 6 months will likely be too small for these bibs. My sons started to use them at 6 months, but my petite daughter didn't use them until 8 or 9 months.
2) They are not for teething, catching drool or use during playtime. No way, no how. These bibs are NOT absorbent. Not in any way. These are feeding bibs. They are made out of a soft, smooth, flexible plastic so drool will just roll down and pool in the pocket. If a drooling baby is playing with this bib on and bends over, the drool will just roll right out. Also, the bib is made of a more firm sort of soft plastic, which is great when using it for feeding, but definitely not something you want for playtime as it will get in the baby's way.
3) These bibs take a little getting used to. All of my children resisted these bibs at first because they are a more firm plastic, whereas other bibs are either soft cloth or cheap plastic that acts/feels like cloth. I had to set the tray on our highchair out one extra half inch (one click) to allow room for the bibs pocket between the tray and the baby. Two of my three children cried the first and second days we used these bibs. Since the children were not used to them, they complained. But after a day or so they were OK, and from then on my wife and I were thankful on a daily basis that we had them.
Why such a long review? These are maybe one of the 5 or so baby products that I absolutely love. They've made our lives easier, we give them as gifts, and I think more parents could benefit from knowing how great they are.
