I start a new DCB today that puts me with 2 18 month olds. They have out-grown the typical bibs and I need suggestions for bibs that will last. Any suggestions?

I've been looking also. I like waterproof bibs, preferably with a "pocket" to catch food. I have 2 one-year olds ,and the bibs I have are a little too small for them.

I wish they would make large bibs for 2 and 3 yr olds. They make them for adults but why not toddlers.

I use old adult t-shirts that I get at thrift stores. They completely cover the child. We use them for painting too to protect their clothes.

In a pinch, I would just use a large kitchen towel & a clothespin in the back. *or* I have a snapper tool (to put plastic snaps on things), and that was rather handy for making bibs out of towels, too. I hated velcro, so would switch out the velcro for snaps on clothing & bibs, too.
I never liked the bibs (or shirts) that pull over the head.

I had knit & crocheted a TON of drool bibs when I first started the younger of the two a year ago but they no longer fit...lol. I wish I had the time to just make larger one because they work so well but the new DCB starts today...interview was Sunday....not much notice. It was all I could do to find another crib in time. My Hubby is going to look for some today. I just don't see spending $75 on 10 bibs !

Oh I love the bibs from IKEA. But...no local store and the bibs aren't available on-line

Yep, the Ikea bibs.

I love these bibs so much I have one per child in a different and then I bought them matching cups, bowls and plates in the colour to match. It works beautifully.

$16 per bib? Holy ChaChing Batman. Worth a drive to Ikea. I think theirs are $3-$4 for a two pack. I will go to there this weekend and ship some to you OP,
how many do you want. Just PM me.

I thought the same thing.
This is what I use for very messy meals and art - love them!

I have never seen the Ikea bibs before, those are awesome! Ok, so now I need to plan a trip to Ikea

Many thanks to everyone who mentioned the Ikea bibs!
They are perfect! And they're really inexpensive for what you get.

Bumkins bibs are the best. They have a variety of sizes & sleeve lengths. They are available on Amazon. Not cheap, but they last forever.

I have been using the same bibs for over 2 years now and they still look brand new. So yes they are expensive at once but I claim them on my taxes and there is no hassle for me. In the washer after lunch with the face cloths and ready for the next day.
