Parker Baby Co. Soft Bandana Drool Bibs for Baby Boys & Girls, 4pk & 8pk

I bought these Parker Baby Co. bandana bibs for my grandbaby and they have been such a cute and useful addition to his outfits! The designs are adorable and match just about anything he wears. I especially love the bandana style because they look like part of his outfit instead of a traditional bib. He’s in the drooling and teething stage, so keeping his chest and clothes dry is a must. These are soft against his skin and do a good job absorbing everyday drool without feeling bulky. The adjustable fit is also nice because he can continue wearing them as he grows. Pros: * Super cute designs that match almost any outfit * Soft and comfortable * Absorbent for everyday drooling * Helps keep his chest and clothes dry * Adjustable fit * Great to have several on hand for changes throughout the day Cons: * They can get wet pretty quickly when he’s having a heavy-drooling day * Frequent washing is definitely needed during the teething stage * Heavy drooling may still require a clothing change Overall, these are cute, practical, and perfect for my little guy’s current teething stage. I’m always happy to have a clean one ready to go!

Of all the various brands and styles of bibs I’ve used in the past six months since my baby was born, these are by far my favorite. I have bought all kinds of bibs, trying to find a balance of absorbency, easy fastening, stain resistance, neck size, and just plain looking cute. I’ll be up front, the snaps on these made them one of my least favorites to use during a bedtime/night feeding when my baby was a newborn. (I wanted a bib I could quietly and easily remove after he ate and fell asleep, but before I put him down.) Sometimes the effort required to un-snap them woke him back up. For me, the solution was simple: just use a different kind of bib at night/bedtime. My baby easily rotates through 3-4 bibs a day just based on drool alone, so it’s not an issue to keep a velcro-fasten bib handy to the feeding chair in the nursery. And now that he’s six months old, I am grateful for the strong snaps that keep the bib on his neck, as he grabs and pulls at everything now. (Being whacked in the face with a drool-soaked bib is not my favorite thing, and it has happened far too often with velcro bibs. Which brings me to my second point - I know some people don’t like that these bibs don’t have that plastic waterproof layer or backing. And it’s true, they don’t. But they are super thick and absorbent, and I’ve never had any problems with them being “too warm” due to the thickness. I’ve bought the bibs with the waterproof lining, and while it does it’s job of making sure drool doesn’t soak through, here are my problems with those: A) they’re always crunchy, and while maybe that’s fun for baby to play with, it doesn’t always seem comfortable for him, especially when I’m constantly using them to wipe off his face. B) they change shape/size in the wash so the fabric is no longer the exact same size as the lining and they don’t sit flat, and C) for some reason, almost all of these bibs use the tiniest pieces of the weakest-hold velcro produced. This does make them super easy to remove quietly after night feedings, because they’re almost always already detached and hanging off the baby’s neck. Personally, I feel like the Parker Baby bibs dry out faster than the ones with the plastic lining anyway. I have never had any issue with laundering these, they haven’t held stains, they don’t fall apart, and you don’t have to make sure velcro tabs are fastened to each other so other clothes don’t get destroyed. They were quality made, and don’t have strings and loose edges to start pulling apart. Full transparency, I do not follow the instructions and lay them flat to dry, they get thrown in the dryer on low temp with all the other baby stuff…and I have no complaints about the texture of the back side. I guess I have zero expectation that the fuzzy lining material would stay pristine forever, it’s literally getting used to wipe spit, snot, and food off his face on a constant basis. As long as it comes out clean and soft, I’m good, and they haven’t failed to disappoint yet. The bandana style is definitely my favorite based off esthetic alone. Along with the Parker Baby Bibs, I’ve received a few more as random gifts that are similar in design, but they are of visibly and tangibly different (lower) quality. I also registered for and received a few pricier organic muslin bandana bibs, based off a friend’s recommendation. And don’t get me wrong, they’re really cute and the material is super soft and looks nice…but the design sits high up on my baby’s face, no matter how I try to fold and adjust them, and they are HIGHLY ineffective in absorbing the amount of drool he produces. All of my velcro bibs either have very tight neck holes or the tightest they fasten leaves inches away from his chin uncovered, which equals his clothes getting soaked. The Parker Baby bibs sit at the right place on his neck: they come up to his chin to catch everything without riding up over his mouth. At six months, he still fits great in the tighter setting, and with two snaps, they’ll be adjustable as he grows. Oh, and I almost forgot to mention the cute colors and designs! That was literally why I picked out the set in the first place. They did not disappoint, they’re adorable in person, and the materials aren’t scratchy or flimsy or cheap feeling. I’ve just ordered a second set in different colors, and realized that I’d never reviewed these, and feel pretty strongly that if something is worth buying twice, then it probably warrants letting people know how much I like them! The bottom line is: chances are you will probably need to use, try, or end up being gifted, several different kinds of bibs, and I absolutely think these should be at the top of that list.

They are very soft, cute, and look like they will be absorbent as well since they are made of a little thicker material. Will look great on my son. I also love that it's a small family-owned business that I'm supporting by purchasing these bibs.

When my sons were little I ordered tons of bandana bibs, but this was one of my favorite sets. These bibs are really soft and made from thick, nice-quality fabric. They absorb well and are soft against my baby's delicate skin. The colors are practical and fade-resistant, and the bibs are fashion forward. I got so many compliments on how cute my kiddos looked in these hipster baby bibs. I had no issues when it came to washing and drying these bibs. There was no shrinkage and they don't wrinkle easily. There are two sets of snaps to adjust for your baby as he/she grows. When my first child was born, most of his bibs had velcro on them and I hated it because it tended to fold after the bib went through the dryer. This isn't the case with these bibs, as the snaps eliminate this problem completely. Of all of the baby items I purchased, I found bandana bibs to be among the most important items to have on hand. I was so grateful to have this big pack. I would definitely buy these again.

These bibs are soft, absorbent, and super cute! They catch spills perfectly and are easy to wash. Great quality for the price — a must-have for any parent. Would definitely buy again!

My grandson is drooling a lot as his new teeth come in.This bandana keeps him dry and is so soft, even on the edges. A different brand was so rough on the edge it scratched his neck and created a welt. We are very happy with the Parker bandana. I also live the variety of designs.

These are well-made and beautifully colored. They're soft, absorb quickly, and the fleece backing is nice and thick to keep baby's shirt dry underneath. They're so thick though that they bunch up into my 4 month old baby's face, stimulating his mouth and causing him to drool more. For this reason I've put them away until he's a bit bigger and I believe the fit will be better. The material and solid color doesn't hide drool well, so if you're getting these for astethic more than function know that the huge wet spot is obvious and you'll end up needing to change them out more often. Overall pleased and hope we get much use out of these once they fit better.

These bibs are AMAZINGLY ABSORBENT!!! And very cute and stylish, too! Got them for all my grandbabies after searching for the perfect bib- THIS IS IT!

The hundreds other bibs we had went straight to the garbage as they seem SO USELESS in comparison. At last, a bib that truly does what it’s supposed to: catch LITRES of drool/milk (whatever comes back) and keep it to itself. Great quality, awesome designs (one to go with 100% of our outfits!), very soft, easy maintenance... and customer service is out of this world. As was said in other comments: just buy them! THANK YOU PARKER BABY

We love the bibs. Baby chest stays dry. 👍
