Long Sleeve Bib Silly Billyz Retail $10.60

What does Silly Billyz say:
Silly Billyz long sleeve bibs are perfect for toddlers eating solids and beginning to feed themselves.  The polar fleece front is soft and stain resistant and is backed with waterproof nylon.  The nylon sleeves protect those expensive clothes.  An open back keeps your toddler cool.  Available in two sizes.

All Silly Billyz bibs are PVC and Lead free. They feature a two position snap closure for adjustable comfort. Snap closures are more secure and last longer than Velcro closures. Silly Billyz bibs are preferred by daycare centers for their durability, wash-ability and their ability to repel stains.

What does Crap4MyKid.com think:
Pros: Full coverage - great for a messy baby.  The wipeable sleeves are great for messes.

Cons: You have to wash it every single time you use it because it's not completely wipeable.  No pocket to catch the scraps.  Exceptionally warm in summer.

Overall Impressions: Great idea, but could use some upgrades.  We love the 2 snaps on the back that allow us to change the size of the bib.  The Silly Billyz bib, reminds us of a retro baseball jersey.  The Long Sleeve Bib definitely keeps Ellie clean while eating (See Pictures).  There are however, a few issues that we came across.  Because the Long Sleeve bib by Silly Billyz is made of fleece on the front, you have to wash the bib every single time you use it.  At least you do with my kid because she is the queen of messy eaters.  Also, the fact it doesn't have a pocket is disappointing.  Not only am I trying to save the mess on her, I'm trying to save the mess on my floor and a pocketed bib goes a LONG way towards that goal. Instead, much of the food ends up either on the high chair all around her or on the floor for the dog.  Trust me.  The dog gets really bad gas from the scraps he eats off the floor and greyhound gas is nothing to mess with!  Fortunately, Silly Billyz also makes a version of the Long Sleeve Bib that allows you to change the front of the bib to form a pocket.  We would have liked to have reviewed that bib, also.  We also found that because of the fleece, even with the open back, the Long Sleeve Bib is very warm.  Granted, we were reviewing this bib in the summer, but the baby eats year round.   On a whole, the Long Sleeve bib by Silly Billyz is very well made, did not shrink in the wash and keeps Ellie clean while eating.
