Practical Pre-School, the magazine and web site for childcare professionals in the Early Years Foundation Stage, awarded Skibz a Gold Award in the Childcare category of their 2009 awards.

Their tester said of Skibz:

" This product was delightful! Skibz is like a bib but much thicker. Great for teething babies as very absorbent when they are dribbling and soft so that they don’t cause any chaffing around chins and necks. The press studs mean that it’s very easy to put on and fits all sizes of baby and toddler necks.

The lovely quality means that they’re an ideal present for a new baby. I have already recommended it to friends! "
