DaBib Review and Giveaway
By TheAngelForever | March 25, 2009
I will admit it, my boys lived in bibs for much of their first year. Whether we were combating spit up, drool from teething, or eating their first solid food a bib was a must. JSL is almost two now and bibs are still much needed accessories for meal and snack time. I do not know about you, but most toddlers are very messy eater. As they learn to self feed, clean up often becomes a hassle.
We have many plastic/vinyl bibs that we use when feeding JSL. Recently we had the opportunity to try out DaBib thanks to Family Review Network.
My Review:
The first thing I noticed about DaBib is the collar. The collar is made of a soft material that scrunches up at the neck. A big problem we have with JSL is food going down the neck of his bib. This patented feature stopped that from happening as he ate. Then I realized that the crumb catcher was not permanently on the front of the bib. For kids that do not need it, the catcher is located on the back of the bib when not being used. If you need it, you simply unfold it forward and the wide mouth of the crumb-catcher is ready to go. As I was putting the bib onto JSL for the first time I was impressed with the large adjustable velcro strip. This bib would definitely fit not only my almost two year old, but a teeny tiny infant and also a child older than JSL.
JSL liked the bib. He did not complain about putting it on and the real test was that he did not try to yank it right off. The nice feel of the soft material kept him happy (me too). JSL was not a fan of the crumb catcher while sitting in his high chair. As you can see in the photo below, he asked us to tuck it in. Clearly if we were dining out and he was in a restaurant chair without a sliding tray, the crumb-catcher would be a wonderful asset.
When JSL was a baby, I would hate bibs that were not thick and absorbant. I so wish I had DaBibs when he was smaller. We used to go through so many bibs and outfits a day thanks to the thin nature of most baby bibs. I would definitely recommend DaBibs to people with or expecting little ones and will purchase them as part of future baby gifts.
Important Facts about DaBib:
- All of DaBib are shrink-resistant and machine washable
- Have the patented "Scrunch Collar" that helps to minimize leakage of food and drinks onto the children and their clothing
- Crumb-Catcher found on the back of the bib and automatically pouches when folded forward to catch food and liquids
- Front closure on DaBib has an adjustable strip that allows it to fit infants to toddlers
- Waterproof bib backing and micro-fiber terrycloth front make it highly absorbant and easy to clean
- DaBib is extra-long and wide to cover children from shoulder-to shoulder
- Non-toxic, lead-free – meets and exceeds the new US requirements
DaBib is available in two styles. DaHugs (which we received) is made with a super-absorbant micro-fiber Terry front and waterproof back. It is great for the first year when absorbancy is the key.
DaGiggles is a wipe-off, waterproof style. This bib is comfortable and a great option to replace plastic and rubber bibs when your child is eating solid food.
DaBibs are currently available to purchase for $12.99 on their website. If you buy three or more shipping is free. Soon DaBibs will also be available at Babies R Us.

Hmmm, W.W. wasn’t fond of bibs. As soon as he realized he could pull them of they became wonderful floor decorations. However, maybe I’ll get luckier with the second one and the bibs will hang around a little longer.
Although considering nursing before solid food I’d have to go for the DaBurp cloth. I like the idea of contouring the neck.

I would choose the DaGiggles striped bib. These bibs feature my fav . . . crumb catchers and seem that they would be better at catching cereal milk (with the adjustable neck), which is the plague of my mornings. I would use this bib for my daughter.
