The inner side is a soft material and the outer side is a waterproof material. A plurality of first chair mating members is coupled to the inner side of the bib body adjacent the bottom edge, the left edge, and the right edge. A plurality of second chair mating members is configured to be coupled to a pair of arms and a table of a high chair. The plurality of second chair mating members is selectively engageable with the plurality of first chair mating members.
