I originally wrote this for the denim Crumb Chum we have, but it applies to all of them.

We've tried every bib out there, and nothing comes close to the Crumb Chum. It is one of the single most useful baby products in the possession of anyone fortunate enough to acquire one -- the luxury sedan of eating accessories.

They are made of the same kind of waterproof polyester fabric that some shower liners are made from, but a bit more lightweight and breathable.

They may cost a little more than basic bibs, but they last a lot longer too, since they don't crack like a lot of the plastic bibs we had. They also probably save far more than what we paid for them in loads of laundry we don't have to do. Mealtime used to mean an automatic change of clothes and an outfit thrown in the wash. Either that or stripping our kids down for every meal. And even if we were willing to get them naked, there would still be a half hour cleaning the chair, as bits of lunch seemed to find their way into every possible crevice. And car seats? Forget it--in the lining, between the lining and the shell, in the seat, under the floor mat, in the doorwell. I think I found a cheerio in the glove compartment once. Eating in restaurants was also tough. We really like indian food and so do both of our kids, but a ten-minute post-dinner ritual of sweeping up saffron rice with a napkin, not to mention suffering under waitstaff glowers, removes much of the appeal of dining out. With the Crumb chum, I have given our 2-year old pad thai at the dining room table and yogurt tubes in the car and walked away unscathed.

They are really comfortable, enough so that our daughter is willing to wear them as an apron or smock for crafts and water play.

They are SUPER easy to clean. Most of the time, I just wipe them down with a sponge, or hold them under the faucet, then let them dry on a dish rack. If they're really goopy, or it's berry season, they can go in the wash (and dryer) with other clothes.

Since they travel so well, we like to keep a couple at home, a couple in the backpack and a couple in our picnic basket for concerts, camping trips, etc. We got them in all the patterns, since our daughter tends to cycle through preferences.

FYI - The manufacturer recommends the toddler size for kids 15 months and above, but we put them on our 11-month old, and though she was swimming in it a bit, it worked great.

I purchased two crumb chum bibs for my twins when they started on solids. My children will be 4 years old in december and we still use them! These bibs cover my kids all the way down to their knees when they are sitting- (so pretty much covers everything.) We have the dalmation design. I have cleaned them with everything from lysol wipes to soaking them in water with bleach to freshen them up and the fabric/colors have stayed as bright as the day we got them.The fabric is light,comfortable and breathes. Iam buying more just to have a fresh new set to alternate to.You cant find better bibs than this, really. Buy them!

Now I have less laundry to do with this bib!

I LOVE it!!! It is made not of plastic, but of cloth which is sometimes used in bathrooms. So if there is a mess you can wipe it and use it again!

The only reason why I gave 4* is because you can't wash it together with other clothes. As it will color everything!

I absolutely love this bib! It catches everything that falls out of my daughter's mouth, including juice. Absolutely worth the money!

I had searched "toddler bibs". This ad came up, toddler pictured on the ads. But read the fine print.....it's INFANT size. I'm sure the next grandbaby can use it, but I needed to cover a 16 month old.!!

This sounds ridiculous, but I can not use it becuase my baby gets too interested in the little dogs on the red background and looks at them and tries to eat them instead of his food.
