I bought a couple of these for my just-turned-one-year-old, as she was getting into the habit of pulling off her bib at the least convenient time possible. Yes, she has gotten this one off, too, but I think as there's no scratchy attacher thingy on the back of her neck, it bothers her far less, and she is less inclined to struggle with it.

I bought two of them, and unfortunately, after one washing, there was a stitching mishap on one of them, and the terry liner is coming apart at the top. I hope to find the time to fix it before it REALLY starts to dissolve.

The double wrap-around feature is great. If she gets banana funk on one side, I can just flip it over while she eats whatever comes next. It means with spot cleaning, I'm able to use it a few times before having to wash it.

Ah, washing. Yes, there's the reason this isn't a five star review. They wash out great, BUT...having magnets in them means that they stick to the inner shell of the dryer, and are thus very difficult to dry. When the rest of the laundry is ready to come out, I either have to run it longer for them, or leave them to hang dry somewhere. Not always a bad thing, but not always convenient either. Like, say, you're packing for a trip the next morning, and you decide to wash the bib for the first time, and don't know about the little magnet issue, and you're up an extra hour the night before an early (EARLY) flight trying to make sure you're not putting wet cloth bibs into your suitcase.

I'm just sayin'

:)

I am only giving the product two stars because of its appearance. I thought the bib was a little dingy looking and there were stitching errors. I feel like I received a seconds bib. I would have returned it, but I didn't feel it was worth the hassle.

Looks pretty cute, but after a couple of washes the fabric colors are faded. Not good for bigger babies that can take off their own bibs. I recommend the Kiddopotamus Bibity as the most all around functional bib.

The best product in the market. It's very easy to put in your baby and very usuful. For me was a best purchase I 've made.

The pattern is beautiful. The concept makes sense, except most of the time, I don't really think anyone can use it 4 times without putting it in the wash in between feedings. The concept is that it has some magnets so that you can fold it over three times so that you can use the patterned side two times and the terry cloth side 2 times. Now for the washing...since it has magnets, it sticks to the inside wall of my washing machine and dryer. So, it is clogging up an area where other clothes can't get clean, and then it is stuck to the inside of the dryer on one side and then it won't dry completely even though all of my other clothes will be dry. For such an expensive bib, I think it needs some re-designing. I prefer the Baby Bjorn plastic bibs that catch all the food that toddlers drop.
