This works out great at feeding times in the high chair, especially for cooler climates. It does not have a cold plastic backing/liner. It's terry cloth all the way through with a stretchable opening to easily pull on. My granddaughter (20 months) usually has no shirt on for mealtimes due to extreme messiness and the catch-all silicone bibs are too cold. These terry cloth bibs keep her warm during meals, are easy to wash, and easy to roll up to carry extras in diaper bag. The only suggestion I would have is that it could be longer in the back. Then again , two could be used : one frontward and one backward to cover up ! Absorbs a lot too.
