I love skip hop and own lots of items by them. This is one item that I am completely dissatisfied with. The bib is cute ( bought the ladybug version) but that's about it. Not only does it allow foods to leak through, the design is coming off as well. And that's only after about three uses or so. Don't waste your money!This bib is great! We had the monkey version, and liked it so much that we recently bought the owl. It has all of the things I normally look for in a bib--it's big enough to cover a meaningful amount of her chest, it washes easily, and has a big pocket to trap dropped food. The velcro is the soft, non-grabby variety. (Why don't all baby items feature this velcro? It's awesome!) I wouldn't exactly call it waterproof, but we've also never had anything soak through--she's eaten extremely soggy frozen/thawed strawberries in it, and none of the sticky red mess ended up on her shirt.
But the thing we love most about this bib is it's portability. The whole bib can be tucked into a pocket on the back. The resulting package is really small and light. And because you turn the pocket inside out to tuck the bib in, any mess on the bib gets completely contained. So it's perfect for throwing into a bag. I have one in my (very small) purse at all times, and because it's turned inside out after use, I don't worry about what is on it when I throw it in the bag. I have no idea why other companies haven't copied this design--it's so brilliant!
The only downside of the Skip Hop bib is the price--it's considerably more expensive than some cheap-o bibs you might buy. But we've never regretted buying them. We use them 10 times more than any other bib we own, because they're so much better!1) not very absorbent baby drool leaked through within the first 5 minutes. The bib is very lightweight almost feels like nylon but for that reason, it seems like it's not very absorbent.
2) doesn't fold into the pocket like it's supposed to no matter what we did, we could not get it to fold neatly into the pocket like the picture on the package. It rolls up, but it doesn't stay tucked in.
3) pretty expensive, for what ends up being kind of a decorative bib
Maybe this bib would be better only for feeding? Not sure, but it isn't a very good drool bib. But did I mention that it's absolutely adorable?It is very useful and easy to clean. And the design is so so so cute. Baby loves it very much.I love this bib! I get lots of compliments about it. I like how it folds up in itself into a small ball and doesn't take up space in the diaper bag.
