Bebe Belay

The Bebe Belay is my new favorite piece of baby gear. We are often out-and-about in the summer during lunchtime, and in the past I found myself toting along a full-sized bib for pizza/ketchup -protection. Recently, my "diaper-bag bib" was relegated back to the bib drawer, and has been replaced in my diaper bag by this cute little clip. Each side of the Bebe Belay attaches to the side of a napkin, instantly transforming it into a bib.

I have used this with fast-food napkins, cloth napkins, and even a baby wipe (in a pinch) and it has worked like a charm. The little clasps take a little getting used to- you have to lift a piece up before they can be pinched to open, and then fold the piece down to lock the belay in place. Once you have got the hang of it, you have an instant bib on your hands.



My kids have never taken a pacifier, but I imagine that this other Bebe Belay feature would come in very handy if they did. The Belay can also be used as a pacifier clip. You string the Bebe Belay through the handle of the pacifier, and then clip it back onto a piece of ribbon that is attached to the Belay. Hurray for multi-functional baby gear!

You can find the Bebe Belay at Innovative Baby, Paisley Monkey, bestdressedkids, and a several other retail shops throughout the US. The Bebe Belay retails for around $9-12.50.
