What's so good about a Messy Mealtime Smock?

At Little Chomps, we’ve created a coverall bib that doesn’t just save parents mountains of washing – it supports little ones’ comfort and development as well!

The extra-long, all-round cover keeps little laps, sides and backs free from mess and stains while keeping the highchair tray clear for babies to play, explore and develop their fine motor skills.

Parents and babies love the fast clean-up and easy transition from happy-mealtimes to happy-playtimes!

What's it made of and is it safe?

The Messy Mealtime Smock is made of Polyester with a thin Polyurethane coating on the outside.

The fabric is buttery-soft and comfortable for your baby. The thin laminate on the outside provides a wipeable, waterproof barrier while the fabric inner is soft against your baby's skin.

We are proud of our safety testing. The Messy Mealtime Smock is independently certified to be free of BPA, PVC, Azo Dyes, Lead and Phthalates. 

How many smocks do I need?

Our Messy Mealtime Smocks are wipeable for an instant clean-up and machine-washable.

Some people like to machine-wash their smocks a couple of times a week while others like to machine wash more frequently. Drying time will depend on the climate and conditions but 2+ smocks will likely help with a wash/dry rotation; using one smock for a day or two wiping between meals and then using another while you wash/dry the first. 

During a machine wash, the fabric side of your smock will get wet and therefore need time to dry. We recommend using a fast spin cycle and hanging to dry inside-out.

How do I keep my Messy Mealtime Smock fresh?

We recommend:
  • A wipe with a damp cloth.
  • A machine wash when needed (max 40 degrees C) with a fast spin cycle and hanging to dry inside-out in a warm position. 
  • We advise against rinsing under a tap/hand washing because once the fabric side is wet - much like regular clothing - it might not dry completely without the help of a machine spin and some drying time.
Note: waterproof fabrics can take longer to dry than regular fabrics.
    Turmeric/curry powder can cause light staining, it usually shifts with a few soapy washes. 

      Where can I purchase a Messy Mealtime Smock?

      Note; due to increasing and unsustainable freight costs we no longer dispatch to North America.
