my little one could not stand other bib ! we try the one that tie , the one that close with velcro , and the towel bib with t-shirt neck , all of which be rip off and throw on the ground during mealtime . I see this waterproof sleeved smock style bib and decide to go with it because I figure that since my kid do wear shirt , a bib that be more like a shirt would work better . this hunch pay off : my little one want to keep wear she bib after meal be do and she apparently think this be a fashion accessory because she love to look at herself in the mirror while she have it on ! outside of the cuteness and the fact that my kid actually keep it on , this great waterproof bib be velvety smooth on the inside to prevent chafing -lrb- unlike many other waterproof bib we have try . the tie in the back be well place , so that curious hand can not easily reach and undo it . it be also longer than other bib that just stop midway down the body , and the long sleeve be another great feature for keep kid from get messy at mealtime or even when play with messy thing like paint , marker , etc. . in short , I will be recommend this item to anyone who ask and the next time I go to a shower , this will be one of my first gift choice !
