apartment therapy changing the world, one room at a time

I bought one of these when my son was around 6 months. He quickly showed me how easy it is to pull out the napkin from the klips. He has hated bibs and won't wear one at all now that he's 2. My first child was different and this might have worked for her. Great idea, but not for all babies.

Pelicolina-

Our son did the same thing. My wife reviewed these and while we liked them and thought they would work for older children, our's was too interested in ripping the bib off.

However, in the process of reviewing these (http://babytoolkit.blogspot.com/2007/03/hang-on-soupy-kipiis-bib-clips-portable.html) , we found that a tea towel on one of those elastic clips used to attach mittens to jackets help on a lot tighter.

Don't get me wrong, the Kipiis have a wonderful appearance and definitely have a fun factor that I think older kids would enjoy. Our son, like yours, just loved to thwart our efforts to successfully use them. Maybe when we'll try again when he get's older.

I had a similar idea for this when my first daughter was born. At the time there was nothing on the market, so I used some 1/4" grosgrain ribbon and attached those tiny alligator clips to the end of it. They are extremely cheap and hard for the kids to open. Think of those clips the dentist puts on you.

I found that the clips on these were too shallow, and it was difficult to clip washcloths into place. I think I tried about three times before giving up.
