Toddler Bibs are a necessary part of your toddler’s wardrobe! Just like babies, toddlers can be messy eaters. There’s a huge variety of bibs available today, but the problem I found with many of them is that they have a Velcro closure.
The problem with Velcro closures is that the bib can easily be pulled off by the wearer. The other problem with Velcro is that it easily wears out and lint and what not gets stuck in the Velcro, making it difficult to close.
I was desperate for a solution that wouldn’t involve a complete outfit change after every bite. That’s when I discovered the magic of zip bibs, and honestly, they’ve been a game-changer.
What I love most about these bibs is their thoughtful design. Crafted with a woven cotton barrier, they feature an 80% cotton, 20% polyester front that feels soft against my daughter’s skin. The 100% cotton backing provides an extra layer of protection. But the real genius lies in the closure system.
Forget flimsy Velcro or easily un-snapped buttons. These bibs have a snap-over closure for quick on and off. But the real secret weapon is the zipper in the back. That little zipper has been a lifesaver! My daughter is a master escape artist, but she simply can’t wriggle out of these bibs. The zipper makes it virtually impossible for her to remove it herself, which means less food ending up where it shouldn’t.
What surprised me the most is how readily my daughter accepted them. Initially, I was worried about her resisting a bib that felt more like a garment. But because the design requires her to put her arms through two openings, almost like a little vest, she actually seems to enjoy wearing them. It’s strange, I know, but this unintended consequence has made mealtime so much smoother.
Beyond the practical benefits, these zip bibs are also durable and easy to clean. I toss them in the washing machine after each meal, and they come out looking as good as new.
If you’re tired of battling food-flinging toddlers and endless laundry loads, I highly recommend giving zip bibs a try. They’re a small investment that can make a huge difference in the sanity of your mealtimes. Trust me, your clothes (and your walls) will thank you!
What kind of baby or toddler bibs do you prefer?
These are cute. I loved the bandana bibs for my daughter.
These are rather cool and would be handy for when he comes to that stage. I use the plastic ones with a pocket in the front for my boy….although I wish I had a couple with the arms so he wasn’t sticking his shirt in his food so much. Haha
These are just what I need for our grandson !
