Long Sleeve Bibs for Babies & Toddlers

Mealtimes, weaning and messy play can get very messy, very quickly. Our long sleeve bibs give babies and toddlers extra coverage across their clothes, with waterproof, wipe-clean fabric and elasticated cuffs to help protect against food, paint and everyday spills.

Available in our colourful hand-illustrated prints, they're made for everyday family life, whether you're starting weaning, eating together at the table or getting stuck into messy play.

💦 Made for messy mealtimes

Our long sleeve bibs are designed to give little ones more coverage than a traditional bib, helping to protect sleeves and clothes during weaning, family mealtimes and messy play.

Long sleeves with elasticated cuffs help keep clothes covered around the arms and wrists, while the lightweight waterproof fabric is easy to wipe clean after smaller spills. When things get particularly messy, simply pop the bib in the washing machine at 30°C.

🥣 Long sleeve bibs for weaning

Starting solids means food can get absolutely everywhere. A long sleeve weaning bib covers much more of your baby's clothing than a traditional bib, including their arms and front.

That extra coverage makes them particularly handy for baby-led weaning and self-feeding, giving little ones the freedom to explore food while helping to keep the clothes underneath protected.

📏 Long sleeve bib sizes

Our long sleeve bibs come in three sizes, covering babies and toddlers from approximately 6 months to 4 years. As the age ranges overlap, use the measurements below to help choose the best fit for your little one.

Size Age Length Chest Sleeve
Small 6–24 months 42cm 32cm 38cm
Medium 12–36 months 44.5cm 35cm 41cm
Large 24–48 months 53cm 38cm 47cm

🫧 Waterproof, wipeable and machine washable

Everyday spills don't always need another load of washing. Our waterproof long sleeve bibs can be wiped clean after smaller messes and machine washed at 30°C when they need a proper clean.

🧼 Caring for your bib

To keep your bib looking its best:

  • Machine wash at 30°C.
  • Fasten poppers before washing where possible.
  • Do not use bleach or harsh cleaning products.
  • Avoid prolonged contact with strongly coloured foods and liquids, as these may cause staining.
  • Do not leave the bib soiled for extended periods. We recommend cleaning as soon as possible after use.
  • Allow to air dry naturally before storing.
  • Take care with very hot foods and liquids, as they may damage the waterproof coating.

Please note: Our bibs are designed to be practical and easy to clean, but they are not stain-proof. Prompt cleaning will help keep colours and prints looking their best.

🎨 Messy play? Bring it on

Long sleeves and fuller coverage make these bibs useful beyond the dinner table too. Use them for messy play, painting, crafts, baking and all the other activities where keeping clothes a little cleaner makes life easier.

👶 What age are Bobbin & Bumble long sleeve bibs suitable for?

Our three sizes are designed for babies and toddlers from approximately 6 months to 4 years. Every child grows differently, so use the age range as a guide and check the measurements when choosing your size.

🥣 Are long sleeve bibs good for weaning?

Yes. The extra coverage makes long-sleeve bibs particularly handy for weaning, baby-led weaning and self-feeding, when food has a habit of ending up everywhere. Long sleeves with elasticated cuffs help keep little arms and clothes covered while they explore their food.

💦 Are Bobbin & Bumble long sleeve bibs waterproof?

Yes. Our long sleeve bibs are made from lightweight waterproof fabric to help protect clothes from food, drinks and everyday spills. They give much more coverage than a traditional bib, including the arms and front.

🧼 Can I wash a long sleeve bib in the washing machine?

Yes. Our long sleeve bibs can be machine washed at 30°C or wiped clean after smaller spills. We recommend cleaning strongly coloured foods and liquids promptly and avoiding bleach or harsh cleaning products.
