Liewood, Merle Cape Bib, Sandy/Imagine

What it is: The Merle Cape Bib from Liewood is a weaning essential for babies and toddlers and makes a brilliant first birthday gift. This practical long-sleeved cape bib is designed to keep children's clothes protected from food spills and messy play. 

Made from lightweight, soft recycled polyester with a water-repellent coating, it has elasticated cuffs and a handy catch-all front pocket to catch those inevitable drips and crumbs. And when the mess is over, simply wipe it down with a damp cloth and allow to dry. It's also machine washable for regular cleaning and refreshing. 

Why we love it: Whether you're baby-led-weaning your child or going for purees, we love a good mess-saving essential, especially one that little ones actually enjoy wearing!

The fun character print makes mealtimes and messy activities a little more cheerful, while the long sleeves and catch-all pocket do the hard work. Softer and more flexible than any other apron bibs we've come across, and closing with a gentle popper rather than velcro for cleanliness and no scratching on the neck.

Perfect for weaning, baking, painting, crafting and all those lovely messy moments -with much less cleaning up afterwards. It's one of the hardest working weaning essentials, and investing in quality materials pays off.

Recommended age: 6 Months - 3 Years (approx)
