Introducing your toddler to new tastes and textures is so much fun at mealtime, but cleaning up their drips, drools, spits and flings is decidedly not. Oh, the wiping off of tiny faces and bodies and laundering of clothes is enough to drive a mama mad — not to mention the scrubbing of high chair trays, dining tables and the surrounding floors!
To the rescue: plastic bibs. Made of food-safe and chemical-free silicone, as well as easy-to-clean fabrics, plastic bibs for toddlers help protect their clothes and your sanity. With a comfortable and adjustable neck strap to grow as your kiddo does, the upper portion of the bib protects their clothes while a wide and deep pocket at the bottom of the bib catches all the food crumbs and liquid-y spills.
When shopping for plastic bibs for toddlers, look for material that is easy to clean; some are dishwasher or washing machine safe, while others are simple to wipe off with soap and water. Also, check to make sure the material is stain-resistant so the cute color or pattern you choose will stay looking fresh and you can save money by not having to replace bibs.
We’ve rounded up the best plastic bibs for toddlers, from modern and pretty options to adorable patterns with punny sayings to roll-up-and-go options for portable mealtimes. Find the one that’s right for your kiddo and spend more time focusing on his reaction to his first bite of cranberry sauce — and less time worrying about the mess.
