I was so happy to find this today. I still have two really soft bibs ordered for my guys. Am hoping they are the same size as these. These Carter's baby bibs are extremely affordable. The tag says "Carter's keep-me-clean feeding bib", OS (one size), 3-pack, waterproof. They are wider bibs which create a perfect drape for Pleo's body. They were tested on both Linus and Schroeder through a full charge of activity today. They seem to like them ;)

The neck part is wrapped back around the neck and snapped behind the head. That creates a really good neck fit and keeps the "cape" from shifting while moving around.

Wow, what a great idea! I love the "chomp munch" bib, just seems appropriate. LOL Thank you so much for sharing! :D

Admittedly I'm being silly but it was Brian's idea. lol. I had gotten the socks so I could take a Pleo outside for a photo shoot without worrying about debris getting stuck in a foot. He looked so cute in the socks and Brian said it reminded him of the rolled down socks in Flashdance. Since I had been playing with scissors yesterday with some of the baby tees, I happened to have one I could tear at the shoulder.

Linus was very cooperative and began to sing a song when he woke up "in costume". Enjoy!

Very cute ideas. I love the little socks on him. It's amazing the things that will fit our little guys.

These surfer muscles shirts are so cute. Just repeating here so more people might see, if they are interested. They were size NB (newborn), Koala Baby brand. I did some creative snapping with the existing design to secure the extra material between the front legs. It doesn't touch the ground even though it looks kinda big around the neck in the closeup.

Sure is fun shopping for these guys!

Yes, they are infant socks. They were Carter's. I got the ones with the roundest looking foot part cuz the dino foot is round. It came as a three pack--light blue, white, and Pleo eye blue. In the first pictures I guess Linus has one pair of each of the blue on. The I got a second pack so Linus now has the darker blue and Schroeder's socks are light blue. Gotta share ya know....

Add one more thing to the list of items I'd like to buy. Infant socks. :)

I did a little searching online, and it seems like some kinds of socks have little non-slip treads on the bottom. I like that idea. If I can't find small enough socks that fit that description, I might buy regular infant socks and add my own form of non-slipness to the bottom. That might be better than adding something non-stick to Irwin's footpads.

Yes, there were infant socks with the tread things. They were cute little ducks or something but would be very effective to help a Pleo get a grip (literally) on a slippy floor.

hi everyone

I've bought socks for my pleo

Do you think always wearing his socks can do any damage to him?

thanks for your answer

I don't think it would hurt. It would certainly keep his feet clean. But I'd check for sock fuzzies occasionally getting into the area around the foot sensor. I forgot to put socks on Linus before the pet store video. His feet got really dirty. Time for Pleo "bath". lol.
