This bib is designed to protect your carrier and keep the top edge free from drool. This is perfect when forward-facing your child in the carrier, or if your child is part owl (turning their head very far around). Pair with a set of straight or corner suck/drool pads to protect your straps as well. The straight suck pad pattern is available for free.
Fits Carriers Made before Gen 2, Spring 2022.
To use the bib, snap it right onto the carrier’s hood snaps then wrap it over the top edge. Elastic loops on the bottom are used to keep the bib is place, but the weight of your baby will also hold it. Use the side elastics when in wide seat position, and the center elastic when in narrow seat position used for forward facing.
This pattern is reversible! So even though I call the two layers “Outside” and “Lining”, they are more like “Side 1” and “Side 2”. Pick two outside fabrics and one layer of absorbent material like flannel or Zorb to keep your carrier dry. Got a super drooler? You can also choose to use PUL or other waterproof fabric inside or as the backing, for ultimate carrier protection.
Be as creative with this pattern as you desire: add trim or embroidery, go off pattern and add pockets. The possibilities are endless!

Hi! Just wondering if you have the updated revolution bib pattern for the newer design after 2022?
Thanks so much!
I do have a new patten, but I haven’t finished the instructions for it. You can get it here. https://fabricninja.com/buy/1059-happy-baby-revolution-wrap-around-bib/
