I'm from Leonardtown with a business/invention.

I’m going on CNBC’s “The Big Idea with Donny Deutsch” to pitch my invention against 2 other competitors in front of 3 judges. And it seems as though the voting has already begun even though my TV shoot isn’t until Monday (Sept 8) and it’s airing that night.

I invented a safer bib and onesie set for babies and it’s called Bibs and Match. Please help make my invention real and forward this to your friends and family as well. I really appreciate your support!

So please vote for me (Bibs and Match) here You Vote: Tonight's Million Dollar Ideas - The Big Idea Blog - CNBC.com

The website for your product says repeatedly that it prevents strangulation and suffocation. :confused: Does that happen a lot? I have 4 kids and have provided care for dozens of others and have never once heard of a child being strangled or suffocated by a bib.

OTOH, I have heard of some inadequately attached snaps coming off of children's clothing and posing a choking hazard. :shrug: Not to say that your snaps would have that problem.

I've never heard of a baby strangling to death because of their bib, but I guess it could happen.

Matching onesies and bibs ARE very cute baby fashion though. :lol:

That is something I can understand as a marketing tool. I can even appreciate that the snaps keep the bibs under control and lined up with the matching design underneath, but that's not what stood out in the advertising. What stood out was the suffocation/strangulation thing. It said it 3 times on the page, and it was a very small page.

It just irks me to have someone make up the idea of an unsafe situation just so they can solve it. There's enough things out there that have proven to be a risk to kids, without making them up for us to worry about.

:yeahthat:

I have a couple of down sides to this "product"....

1. After a couple of washes the snaps(unless they are plastic) will rust and it will be close to an act of God to get the bib on....if they are plastic, they usually break after about 10 uses

2. If the child isn't asleep and/or not moving, there is a possibility of the child getting pinched where it snaps together

3. After a couple of months, the snaps usually pull away from the fabric because of use and/or washing

May want to try velcro instead of the snaps

Ouch.. anyone see how much they cost? $28 for a 3 piece set which includes 1 onesie and 2 bibs... You can buy the onesie by itself for $21. How many people are going to pay that much for a onesie?

I know nothing
I think it sounds like a pain in the ass to me.

Everytime you go to feed the kid, you have to make sure its in one of these onzies....

In 3 months when the child has out grown the onzie, you have to purchase more...

Id rather had the oversized plastic bibs, that washes off in a snap and seems to last forever.


But good luck with your invention

Onesies are so easy to get a baby in and out of to begin with, why bother with a bib, ESPECIALLY if a bib is a choking suffocation hazard??

Washing a bib instead of a onesie, where's the benefit?

>$30 for outfit the baby is going to wear for MAYBE a month.

Like the DaiperGenie, a waste of good money.. for $30 you can buy a pack of ten onesies.. Dress him in three layers and as he gets dirty use them like tear offs...

I have medical privacy issues with the WELLalert (hackers).
Mykini Blingz is for girls who don't have enough clevage to grab a guy's eyes.
Bibs and Match is for people too lazy to watch their kids while they are eating. I mean really, who lets their kid run around all day with a bib on? If they are secured properly in their highchair, how are they going to suffocate? how is the bib getting turned around backward on the kid?

I say don't vote for any of them, but if I had to, I'd vote for the WELLalert.

Gosh - I have to say I was just thinking of sets like this recently. My daugther (now 3) was not a spitter as a baby, rarely unless it was part of an outfit or was REALLY cute we never used a bib with her. My nephew is a terrible spitter, turns out he has acid reflux - something that grossed me out to no end. Well here I am now with a beautiful 3 week old son that spits up something awful! I joke with my sister that I deserve this as I was so grossed out by my nephew spitting up :) So my son pretty much weres a bib all the time, which doesn't mean I don't have to change clothes an awful lot, but I at least this helps to keep his back and neck from getting really soaked. With that said I'm always afraid to lay him down with a bib on - but without one his neck and back will be wet when he wakes up. Right now I swaddle him tucking the bib under the blanket - but I did think the other day how just a single snap on the onies and bib would make me feel better. Also I know someone mentioned the snaps rusting but I have to say I've never had that problem with any snaps on my baby clothes (thank heavens :) I think this is a neat idea, although I do agree the price is pretty steep - I know I couldn't afford these sets myself, but I do like the idea :) I would imagine it's not cheap for the inventer/owner to make these yet and that's why they are so high, at least that's my guess.
I'm voting for them :)

Your sister :rolleyes:

Seriously, she did. She was afraid of them drooling all over their pretty outfits and messing them up. Nevermind the obvious being that the nice pretty outfits were covered up by the bib.
