When attached to the highchair properly, the Highchair Lap Bib will prevent foods, liquids and crumbs from dropping onto the lap of the child, getting into the creases and under the highchair padding and on the lap straps of the highchair.

- The Highchair Lap Bib pertains to the baby and toddler industry, it is an accessory for the highchair. When used correctly, the Highchair Lap Bib will prevent food, liquid and crumbs from dropping into the lap of the child, while keeping the highchair clean.
- Other accessories, such as “Bib with Crumb Catcher” and “Baby Bib with Pocket” help to keep food and crumbs from falling into the lap of the child. However, in many occurrences food misses the catcher/pocket and still ends up in the child's lap. As a result, the clothes are ruined and the child needs to be changed. Furthermore, when food, liquid and crumbs drop, they most times get on the lap straps of the highchair, in the creases of the highchair padding and even under the pad of the highchair. It is very difficult and time consuming to clean most highchairs. The straps have to be taken off to be washed and the padding needs to come off as well to be scrubbed after food and liquids dry on.
- The Highchair Lap Bib attaches to the tray of the highchair using Velcro. When attached properly, the Highchair Lap Bib covers the entire area that is exposed to foods and liquid dropping onto the lap of the child. It also prevents foods, liquids and crumbs from getting into the creases and under the padding of the highchair and on the lap straps of the highchair.

FIG. 2A : Illustration of Velcro hook adhesive pieces needed to attach the Highchair Lap Bib to the highchair tray and/or arms, labeled “A”, “B”, “C” and “D”. -
FIG. 2B : Illustrates the placement of the Velcro hook pieces onto the highchair tray. -
FIG. 2C : Illustrated the placement of the Velcro hook pieces onto the highchair tray and the highchair arms. -
FIG. 3 : Diagram of the Highchair Lap Bib attached to a highchair. - The Highchair Lap Bib is an accessory to the highchair. It attaches to the tray of the highchair (14, 15) and/or arms of the highchair (16), depending on the type of the highchair. When the Highchair Lap Bib is properly attached, it will cover the entire area that is exposed to foods and liquids dropping onto the lap of the child. It also prevents crumbs from getting in to the creases of the highchair and liquids from soiling highchair straps and seeping underneath the highchair pad.
- The top layer of the Highchair Lap Bib is marine vinyl. The bottom layer is felt. The pattern is cut out as one panel of vinyl and one panel of felt. The front side (1) measures 20″ L. The sides (2) measure 6″ L. The side straps (4) measure 6″ L×4′ W. There is a 3″ between the side straps and the front sides (3). The back straps (6), (7) measure 8″ L×2½″ W. A Velcro hook (8) 1″ L×¾″ W is sewn onto the top layer of the left back strap (6), ¼″ from the opening (9). The two panels are then stitched together around the entire edge using a serger.
- Each Highchair Lap Bib has four pieces of Velcro hook adhesive strips (
FIG. 2A ) that stick onto the highchair. Pieces “A” and “B”measure 3″ L×¾″ W; Pieces “C” and “D”measure 2″ L×¾″ W. Pieces “A” and “B” are to be peeled and stuck to the inner, front rim of the highchair tray (14), spaced about 2″ apart (FIG. 2B , 2C). Pieces “C” and “D” are to be peeled and stuck to the outer rim of the highchair tray (15), (FIG. 2B ). If the highchair tray does not cover the highchair arms (16) when in place, pieces “C” and “D” are to be stuck onto the highchair arms (16), (FIG. 2C ). The felt on the bottom layer of the Highchair Lap Bib sticks to the Velcro hooks “A”, “B”, “C” and “D”, eliminating the need for the Velcro loops to be sewn onto the article. - After the child is properly strapped into the highchair, the Highchair Lap Bib is to be attached to the highchair (
FIG. 3 ). The felt on the bottom, front (1) of the Highchair Lap Bib attaches to the Velcro hooks (“A” and “B”) on the inner, front rim of the highchair tray (14). The felt on the bottom sides (2) of the Highchair Lap Bib attaches to the Velcro hooks (“C” and “D”) on the outer rim of the highchair tray (15) OR to the arms of the highchair (16), depending on the highchair model. The side straps (4) of the Highchair Lap Bib wrap around the child's waist, vinyl side up. The back straps (6, 7) wrap behind the child's lower back and attaches together with the Velcro hook closure (8). - To remove the Highchair Lap Bib, open the back straps (6, 7) first. Then remove the sides (2) from Velcro pieces (“C” and “D”) and then remove the front (1) from Velcro pieces (“A” and “B”), folding the sides (2) upward, closing all the food, crumbs and liquid into the center (17) of the Highchair Lap Bib. The waste can be emptied onto the highchair tray or into a sink or garbage pail. The Highchair Lap Bib can be wiped clean and used over and over.
