When buying a bib, the most important consideration is safety. Bibs with tie closures are an old standby, but after hearing
all the dangers associated with hoods that tie, many parents avoid ties on any article of clothing. Some bibs also come
with plastic backing, which can smother babies or small children if they are left unattended. This style provides good
protection for clothing because food and liquid is absorbed into the fabric on the front, but kept away from clothing by
the plastic backing. However, it is somewhat more difficult to clean.
