Bumkins Bibs, Baby and Toddler Bibs, Bibs for Girls and Boys 6-24 Months, Long Sleeve Bib, Baby Bibs for Eating, Lightweight Waterproof Fabric Sleeved Smock

First off, yes I have my hands full.TLDR: Buy Bumkins. Twinkle stretches out.I bought 2 Bumkins and 2 Twinkle smocks and thought I would compare them for others on the fence.Bumkins Pros:- Great elastic at wrist! Still stretchy after heavy, regular use for both my petite twin and chunkier twin. No food goes up their wrist/arm.- Easy to clean fabric, I rinse both smocks in hot water after every meal and machine wash every 2 days/4 uses. Yes, mine stained. I stain treated the first time and it helped but ain’t nobody got time for that. Hang dry, but have been in a pinch and used the dryer. They feel very clean and have not broken down.- “Extra material” is a BLESSING! Snip out the seam making 2 pockets like others said, to make one big one. It will catch food at restaurants better. But if you have the Antilop IKEA chair, before snapping the trails down, hook the pocket on under the tray hooks then push down. Food stay off their laps AND out of their seats! Plus they can easily pick up food from their pocket. So less waste! When removing the tray pop it up like normal, then bring forward and the bib will unhook, and remaining food fall back into the top of the bib keeping the seat cushion clean.- Water resistant! Both twins drink from an open cup and their clothes stay dry.Bumkins Cons:- You have to rip a seam out to create 1 big pocket, else the 2 are completely useless.- The tie close is a pro and con. It slips if not double knotted, making it also annoying to take off once done.- Stains, just like the rest of the other smocks.Twinkle Pros:- Nice packaging!- Very thick fabric, that cleans well.- Hardly stains at all! Ours is only darker in some places. Even post pasta sauce!- Velcro neck for easy on and off.- Prettier fabric designs.- Water resistant, both twins drink from an open cup and both clothes stay dry.Twinkle Cons:- It’s tapered compared to Bumkins and the material is too thick, meaning it’s difficult to snap my high chair tray on top of it just right to keep food out. This is a huge draw back for me!- The elastic wrist gave it up in 3-4 months of use. So we have to roll these up a specific way to keep food out and to not fall down covering babies hands. This is THE draw back for me and why I won’t buy more. It got used and washed less, yet the wrist are like double the size of our Bumkins.- The velcro neck won’t go any tighter and I have stained necks on the clothes of my petite twin.- Pretty, but less functional.

This is advertised as being for small babies as well as toddlers but my 6mo is swimming in it and it makes it fairly difficult to use.

Ive washed this so many times and whats ever on it washes right out and its not worn on yet from all the use definitely worth buying a few of these

I wish they made these when my kids were babies. I am stocking up for the grand babies!

This bib is amazing for little ones starting to be introduced to solid food! Our daycare uses this brand and suggested it for home use. The sleeves keep our little’s arms clean and this wipes clean extremely easily. Highly recommend this bib compared to other ones with the food catcher, etc.
