In wal mart they have plastic molded bibs and they turn up at the bottom forming a little "catch all".... They come in a two pack and are relatively inexpensive. I use this for my 12 month old dcb and all the food he drops goes into the little scoop and when he is screaming for more I dump it all back into his bowl for his second helping. He does not use utensils yet he just jams everything in.
