The Car Seat Bib
The Car Seat Bib was created by a real mom with a really car sick kid.
Ultra absorbent, waterproof, and oversized. Made in USA.
Project Description
Hi! I'm Sarah.
My kid used to get car sick every time we drove somewhere. It created a huge mess in the car, car seat, and her clothing. We avoided driving and tried to find a solution, but nothing helped. So, I created the product that I (and other parents) needed!
Meet the first-ever Car Seat Bib.
It’s oversized, absorbent, waterproof, lightweight, safe, washable, eco-friendly, toxin-free, and made in the USA. This is the first bib designed specifically for kids to wear while in a car seat -- and works better than other big bibs because of an innovative combo of ultra-absorbent and waterproof layers. It goes on over the car seat buckles to ensure safety. It also works wonderfully during messy meals and arts & crafts.
The Answer to Messes on the Road
Spills and spit up in the car get everywhere… inside buckles and seatbelts, soaking into car seat fabric, and all over the back seat. Small children are particularly susceptible to car sickness, especially before they’re old enough to turn the car seat front-facing or take motion sickness medicine.
The Key to Keeping Car Seats Clean
Car Seats are incredibly complex to take apart for cleaning and aren’t always washable. And stopping on the highway to clean and change a child is stressful and unsafe.
We spent years and hundreds of dollars testing other oversized bibs and never found one that worked. Waterproof bibs send messes flying like a slip-and-slide. Standard fabric bibs let messes soak through to clothing and buckles.
The Lightbulb Moment
That’s why we created our own: Our original Car Seat Bib combines ultra absorbent and waterproof materials into a lightweight, oversized bib to keep kids and cars clean. It’s the first-ever bib designed specifically for kids to wear while in a car seat – and works wonderfully during mealtime at home and messy art projects too.
When a mess happens, you can quickly remove the Car Seat Bib and toss it in the wash at home.
The Car Seat Bib is woman-owned and based in Philadelphia. We proudly work with ethical, local vendors – from fabric to web design.
I've financed this entirely on my own - from prototypes to launch, supporting small and ethical local vendors - using personal savings and debt. I'd greatly appreciate your support to help make this launch a success.

How is the Car Seat Bib better than a regular bib?
Unlike other bibs on the market, the Car Seat Bib combines an ultra absorbent layer with a waterproof layer. It quickly catches and soaks up messes while keeping children and their car seats clean. The oversized design covers the child from neck to legs and the carseat from edge-to-edge.
Will the Car Seat Bib catch spit up when my child gets car sick?
The Car Seat Bib was specifically designed with car sick kids in mind. It rests comfortably over the child’s body and most of their car seat. It’s crafted to quickly catch and absorb spit up or spills without letting them soak through. The result: Children stay clean and dry, and so do their car seats.
How do I clean the Car Seat Bib?
After a messy incident, simply remove the Car Seat Bib, wipe off any solids, and toss it in the wash at home.
Is it safe?
The Car Seat Bib goes on like a traditional bib. It’s worn over car seat buckles, so that it won’t interfere with car seat functionality or safety.
Only use the Car Seat Bib when an adult is able to monitor the child to make sure that the fabric doesn’t interfere with breathing if the child falls asleep or shifts the bib’s position. This can be done through existing mirrors in the car, by looking back to check, or sitting in the back with the child.
The Car Seat Bib is made in the USA with organic, hypo-allergenic, BPA-free, PFAS-free, PFOA-free, eco-friendly fabric from American textile mills that meets all safety standards for children’s products.
Will it stay on?
Kids can’t pull their Car Seat Bib off easily, thanks to the thick Velcro® strips that fasten it. Caregivers can easily remove it.
Can we use it outside the car?
Yes, please do! The Car Seat Bib works wonderfully as a feeding bib and as a smock during messy art projects.
My Car Seat Bib just arrived and doesn’t seem absorbent when I tested it.
Please wash the Car Seat Bib by itself using hot water in your washing machine, with or without detergent, and dry it on medium temperature. This activates the absorbent layer.
