Description

TECHNICAL FIELD[0001]The present disclosure relates to a high chair bib. More specifically, the invention relates to a bib and high chair system for protecting a child's skin, clothes and area surrounding the child from food, liquid, waste, and other debris produced during feeding.BACKGROUND[0002]Protective bibs have long been used to protect a child's clothing from food and liquid spills, which typically occur during feeding. The basic construction of a traditional bib generally comprises a piece of material for covering the child's chest and a mechanism for attaching or securing the bib to the child—typically around the child's neck.[0003]Over the years, various mechanisms for attaching bibs to children have been used. An exemplary bib configuration generally comprises a body section having a body protection panel and two strings or extending flaps. The strings or flaps may extend up to the child's shoulders and around the child's neck. The two extending flaps may then be secured ...

Benefits of technology

[0016]In certain aspects, the one or more fastening mechanisms may be attached to both the upper-side and under-side of the body protection panel and/or may be attached to the under-side of the high chair's tray table.

[0017]According to a third aspect of the present invention, a system for protecting the clothes and skin of a child, comprises: a body protection panel, wherein the body protection panel has an upper-side, an under-side, a top portion and a bottom portion and is configured to cover a child's torso and legs; one or more extending flaps configured to extend from the body protection panel over a child's shoulders and substantially around the child's neck; and one or more fastening mechanisms positioned at the bottom portion of the body protection panel and configured to attach the bottom portion of the body protection panel to a high chair's arms or tray table, wherein the upper-side of the body protection panel is attached to the underside of the tray table.

Problems solved by technology

Unfortunately, problems may still arise when using such conventional configurations.

As noted by the '089 patent, parents and caregivers spend considerable money on a child's clothing, and considerable time changing and laundering it.

Similarly, a significant amount of time is also spent by parents and caregivers to clean the seat of the high chair as well as the floor and area surrounding the high chair.

Given the inefficiency of the bibs described in protecting the clothing during feeding, the child's clothing not only becomes wet but often becomes stained, thus defe...
