DaBib Review and Giveaway *CLOSED*

Before I had kids, I never realized just what a necessity a good bib is. I also didn't realize that all bibs are not created equal.

If a bib is too thin and made of only cloth, big droolers/spillers/messy eaters will leak through making the bib useless. If the bib is only waterproof with no way to catch spills/drool/mess then all of that stuff will slide right off onto clothing. This again, makes the bib useless. So, when I find a bib that is perfect, I feel it's my duty as a mom to share with my readers.

In comes DaBib! I recently tried out the DaHugs bib from DaBib. What makes it unique?

From their website:

Adjustable Scrunch collar stops leaks. Super absorbent, shrink-resistant, micro-fiber terry face soaks up spills. Waterproof backing protects baby’s clothing. Easy fastening front attach velcro collar. Extra large hour glass shape protects babies of all sizes. Hide-away food pouch catches crumbs and drips. Made of environmentally friendly materials, non-toxic, and lead-free, DaBib is the perfect gift for the new parent!

I will attest that all of these claims are true. The collar is a really unique and nice feature. My oldest has a lean neck and my youngest still has his baby pudge so it's a relief to have a bib that will fit them both perfectly. The neck is very soft so it doesn't rub them like some bibs do. I use the bib during the day for my youngest who is a HUGE drooler right now. He is teething, so small, cloth bibs just don't do the trick. Also, slick bibs aren't absorbent and therefore don't work either. DaBib is PERFECT. The micro-fiber terry on the front of this bib absorbs drool and none of it goes through to his clothes because of the waterproof backing.

I love that the food pouch catches stray Cheerios and even drool and spit up (gross I know, BUT it's much better than on the clothes!). When I take this bib off, my kids' clothes are still clean. Love it! I highly recommend these and am sad I am just now finding DaBib.

A plus? My two LOVE to use the crumb catcher as a bowl. My dogs don't like this because they are canine vacuum cleaners (just like the doggie in this adorable video that demonstrates the awesomeness that is DaBib perfectly).



More about how DaBib came to be from their website:

Chez Shea Baby, Inc. is a California-based company founded in 2006 by a mom to develop innovative baby products that provide solutions for parents in the care of their children.

DaBib is the newest and best innovation in baby bibs. With its patented Scrunch Neck and flexible, functional design, this "baby" is a must-have for your baby. Let's face it, feeding your little Prince or Princess can be a royal mess. But when it comes to catching every drip, drop and dribble, regular bibs fall short - literally! DaBib's scrunch neck minimizes leakage of liquids and solid foods onto the baby's clothing, reducing stains and the hassle of frequent changing. With both the super absorbent micro fiber terry face and the waterproof backing, DaBib's innovative design doesn't just raise the neckline, it raises the bar, providing the ultimate in coverage, comfort, durability and versatility, for infants through toddlers.
