I have found the bib I absolutely LOVE. When babies are babies and just starting on baby foods I still stick with soft cloth bibs that can be easily tossed in the wash. I just get a couple dozen and don't worry about them staining. But when they get older and onto finger foods and truly messy stuff, those little cloth bibs don't stand a chance.
Hence the need for the "pelican" style bib (goes around neck, has a pouch to catch food). I had used some of the little plasticy/vinyl ones and not only did they not work, they were ALL made in china and recalled with the whole lead in everything baby scare about a year ago. Hence my search for a better bib.... and I found the Baby Bjorn Bib.
I LOVE these things. They're kind of pricy (I want to say like $18 each?) and only come in three colors (I own two -- one yellow, one green), but they are AWESOME. we bought two for my son when he was 1 1/2 and he's now almost three and they are still in PRISTINE condition despite all the food messes a toddler boy makes. They're sturdy and extra wide for good coverage. Plus, my favorite part, they go in the dishwasher :).
