Implementations of a teething device are provided. In some implementations, the teething device comprises a teething head and a telescoping arm.

In some implementations, a method of using the teething device comprises connecting or attaching the teething device to a bib or other suitable garment, putting the teething device in an expanded configuration for usage, and inserting the teething head of the teething device into the mouth of a teething baby wearing the bib or other garment.

An illustrated view of an exemplary bib for preventing spillage and vomit from coming into contact with an infant and/or a toddler's clothing is presented. The bib is useful for catching vomit and spillage when an infant or toddler spills liquid, spill solids or vomits for providing transfer of a user from one location to another location. The bib has a pocket in the front that is expandable by a expanding portion that is preferably of an accordion style. The pocket has a closure that is preferably a zip-lock closure and has a tab to allow for the easy opening and closing of the closure. The pocket has one or more handles to allow for easy control of the pocket. The pocket being expandable can expand to accept various amount of vomit, spillage, accessories, etc.

A high chair bib apparatus for keeping a baby and high chair clean while eating includes a bib body having a left edge, a right edge, and a bottom edge defining a lower portion. The top edge has a right arm cutout, a left arm cutout, and a neck portion extending therebetween. The neck portion has a head aperture extending therethrough. The inner side is a soft material and the outer side is a waterproof material. A plurality of first chair mating members is coupled to the inner side of the bib body adjacent the bottom edge, the left edge, and the right edge. A plurality of second chair mating members is configured to be coupled to a pair of arms and a table of a high chair. The plurality of second chair mating members is selectively engageable with the plurality of first chair mating members.

Methods and apparatus relate to a debris catcher extending substantially in a plane from an integrated skirt toward a front lip that extends upward out of the plane less than a lateral lip extends upwards out of the plane. In an exemplary embodiment, a collar may be attachable to a debris catcher to provide a soft contact. In various embodiments, at least one perimeter rib may be embedded in the debris catcher to provide a rigid and stable flat portion. In some implementations, at least one partition rib may be arranged on the debris catcher to provide separated areas. In various embodiments, the debris catcher may not only keep debris retained on the debris catcher but also may enable the debris catcher to be pulled under a table.

Protective outer garments as well as improvements in the use and manufacture thereof. Protective outer garments disclosed herein can include an integrated, or connected, substantially resilient front protective portion and a moisture impervious barrier. The moisture impervious barrier can have sleeves and extend past the waistline of the child and at least over the wearer's shoulders to keep the front of the wearer's clothes clean and dry. The substantially resilient front protective portion can include a holder, like a traditional bib, for catching and holding food and liquids dropped or spilled by the wearer while eating, painting, making crafts, or other activity. The wearer can be a child, baby, elderly person, disabled or special needs person, for example.

A bib comprising a locking compartment specifically to engage and secure a protruding connector located on the pocket of the bib, with means to secure the bib in a folded position for storage ability, as well as preventing spillage of contaminants.

Disclosed herein is a debris-catching bib apparatus and method of using the same. The bib can include a body, which is a rectangularly shaped panel of water resistant material. The water resistance allows the bib to be a protectant shield, for example shielding a baby's clothes from being soiled during feeding. The bib can include a collar, a base, and a fastener. The collar can be an extended flap of material that is tucked underneath the body and underneath clothes around the neck of the baby, providing additional soil protection. The base can be a flexible and large flap of material that expands into a receptacle. The fastener securely attaches the expanded base to an object, such as a high chair. Fastening the bib forms a sealed barrier between the baby's chin and the object, allowing any debris to be caught in the receptacle at the bib's base.

In some implementations, a kit includes a bib having a protective surface and a bib-coupling point; at least one eating utensil having a working end and a retention end, where the retention end includes a utensil-coupling point; and a tether having a first anchor end having a first coupling point that is configured to releasably couple to the bib-coupling point and a second anchor end having a second coupling point that is configured to releasably couple to the utensil-coupling point.

A bag convertible to a bib. The bag is comprised of a primary flexible material (such as paper) and may also incorporate an attachment mechanism and a scored or perforated portion. Score lines enable a user to transform a portion of the bag walls from the open end of the bag into the straps of a bib. With the straps of the bag unfurled, the user can connect the strap ends to each other behind the neck of the user (or, if there is one long strap, around the neck of the user and then re-connected to the bag), such that the remainder of the bag hangs from the user's neck presenting a portion of the bag to collect falling debris, and a bib surface which rests on the chest (or clothing, etc.) of the user to intercept spillage.

The present invention provides a waterproof bib for an infant dining table, which is made of a waterproof cloth and is used by being placed under an infant's chin to prevent saliva or food, dribbled by an infant, from spilling down and staining the infant, the waterproof bib comprising: a chin rest part which is placed under a chin to cover the front side of an infant and has a fastening string connected thereto; and a table cover part which is connected to a lower portion of the chin rest part and covers an upper surface of an infant dining table when worn by an infant seated at the infant dining table.
