Product Information
Full details
The Liewood Merle Ruffle Cape Bib is designed for babies and toddlers who are developing independent eating skills and require full-body protection against mealtime messes. This lightweight, long-sleeved bib excels at keeping clothes clean thanks to its water-repellent coating and integrated catch-all pocket, though parents should note that while it is machine washable, the specialized PU coating requires adherence to specific temperature settings to maintain its integrity over time.

Troubleshooting

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Using the bib is straightforward: simply slide the child's arms through the sleeves and secure the back closure. To maintain the life of the PU coating, it is recommended to wipe the surface with a damp cloth immediately after use for minor spills. For deeper cleaning, the bib is machine washable at 30 degrees Celsius. Always avoid tumble drying or ironing, as high heat can damage the water-repellent PU layer. Hang the bib to air dry, ensuring it is fully opened to prevent moisture buildup in the seams or inside the catch-all pocket.
