The Get Messy Bib

How often have you put a bib on your child, only to have the sleeves of their outfit get dirty? Or food on the collar? I think all of us would probably raise our hands in response to that question. Isn’t it infuriating? Especially when it’s a really nice outfit you are trying to protect in the first place! Well, in an email that I got awhile ago there was a feature done on what they called the “Get Messy Bib”. I have to say that I am impressed by what I see, but I cannot tell you much more about it other than what Modern Kid Stuff lists on their website since I haven’t got around to ordering one to try…might be a good idea for my daughter’s birthday next month and I may just order one for my son too, if they have blue in stock. Then I’ll have both colors for this new little one gestating. (We never find out the sex of our babies. Amazing, I know, but we like to be surprised.)
Ok, so here’s what Modern Kids Stuff says,
This modern-design bib will meet your child’s needs from baby learning to self-feed, to toddler mealtimes, to toddler art projects. Made of 100% nylon that is covered in groovy blue dots, this bib features a smart-design pocket that catches spills. Machine washable. Imported.
The blue polka dot bib is out of stock. 
However, the pink polka dot one appears to be in stock at the time of the writing of this post. The “Get Messy Bib” retails for $13.50.
Modern Kid Stuff also have other cute bibs as well. Plus, FREE SHIPPING! On Orders Over $50.
Happy Saturday, everyone!

From someone with 5 kids, the smocks you are showing are completely impractical. The pocket on this bib won’t hold a drop of liquid, and doubtful whether it would catch any solids as it is sewn flat.
If you want a great pocket bib or smock, (so good it has a U.S. Patent) check out goo-goo baby’s perfect pocket bib at http://www.goo-goobaby.com.
My 5 kids have all used them, and they are the best bib makers around by far!
Hope this helps you mom’s looking for the best. Jenn.
Sorry you don’t like them, Jen. But have you used the bibs and how can you tell that? I haven’t used them, but they look nice. I have seven children and have yet to find a bib that covers whole outfits. My goal is to find something that prevents staining the arms, as well as the body of an outfit. Spills and catching food is not as much of a priority in a bib. Most bib pockets don’t do a very good job of holding liquids anyways.
I’ll try to make it to the website you suggested. Thanks for sharing it.
Ok, I will admit the goo-goobaby bibs look great, especially since they don’t contain all the chemicals. However, they are based in Canada – I am a Canadian, but live in the USA so I have nothing against Canada – but to get something shipped from Canada to the USA and visa versa is usually expensive, plus there could be extra fees to get it across the border. That’s all on top of the bib price $29.99 CDN. I don’t think US residents would get charged GST though, but it’s been so long that everyone will have to do their own research on that. It just seems to be too much money. There has to be something comparable on this side of the border.
Really like this website, this really helps and very useful.
