Hi there, I would like to sew and sell baby bibs and other baby items. It’s important for me to really make products that moms are looking for and I’d like your opinions.
Would you prefer snaps or velcro on your baby bibs? (I have a 12 month old, and I vote for snaps but my husband votes velcro so I need more opinions!) Also… What other baby/mommy items would you like to see on the market that aren’t out yet (that could be sewn)? Thank you very much for your answers!
oops! I meant to say "velcro"
My MIL sends us bibs from new zealand and they ROCK! I have never seen bibs like them here ( in Canada) They have neither velcro or snaps, but are rectangular shaped (with rounded edges) and have a hole that you put the baby’s head through. Kind of like a t-shirt opening. Does that even make sense?! LOL So they are covered in the front , and even a bit on the sides/shoulders. And because the opening is stretchy like a t-shirt it is super comfy ( no itchy velcro) AND it gets right in close under their chins ( the elastic-ey part is actually wider than the t-shirt kind of neck elastic, so it covers really well- more like a crew neck or semi-turtleneck??
Good grief I’m not explaining this right! haha. It’s just a pull-over-their-head kind of bib.
ok -found a picture osomethingng similar…

now- all the bibs I have are cotton. if they get the least bit wet they soak right through. I would love a bib that was a bit plastic-ey on the underside but soft and cotton-ey on the top side… AND went over the head
Not sure if that’s possible since they have to be pretty stretchy to fit over al sorts of head sizes!
my biggest irk are bibs that don’t come up far enough under the chin - too loose. Then the top of baby’s shirt gets all gross.
oh- and snaps are better than velcro
good luck!
