DALLAS – A baby bib that is a top 3 finalist in The Next Big Thing national product search contest put on by the Dallas Market Center needs your vote.
Montgomery, Ala.-based BibBaby, is a baby bib that extends to and across the lap of babies and toddlers. The extra coverage helps with easy meal cleanup. Typical bibs only cover the child’s chest area but BibBaby protects the child’s clothes from the shoulders to the lap. It has three adjustable sturdy snaps and is available in a variety of stylish patterns and designs.
Sabrina Russell, founder of BibBaby, noticed the need for a larger bib when she was teaching her son to feed himself. There wasn’t a bib on the market that truly kept children clean while they were being fed or feeding themselves. BibBaby bibs are sold individually and manufactured in the United States.
BibBaby now competes against Freedom Gates and EZ Off BBQ Tools for the grand prize.
Freedom Gates, based in Edwardsville, Ill., are the first high-style pet gates that set dependable boundaries for your pet while enhancing your home’s interior. The frameless gates are made with durable, clear, acrylic panels that feature a selection of unique art screens that add a little something to a room.
EZ Off BBQ Tools, based in Denver, Colo., allow grillers to remove food with ease from the barbeque tools. The barbeque tool set includes: a spring action “pusher” fork and tongs with rounded grips, four skewers with “sliders,” and a “Mighty Spatula” with a serrated knife-edge to cut through meat and poultry. The innovative designs push food off the tools without having to dirty another utensil or get your hand near the heat and flame of your grill. All items are made from top quality chromed steel and solid wood.
The Next Big Thing contest received applications from various artists, product designers and entrepreneurs. The contest allows up-and-comers, whether companies or individuals, to show their product(s) in front of domestic and international retail buyers at Dallas Market Center.
