Introduction
Most of the parents in the recent world have to carry their babies when they are
catching a flight or are in an office meeting. The major challenge for them is that they have to
look after their children in a proper manner so that they can look clean. It is therefore
important for the parents to use baby bibs so that it can keep the baby healthy and clean. The
baby bib that will be designed recently will serve the purpose of keeping their children clean
as well as the parents do not have to carry many clothes for changing their baby (Zhao,
2013). The main aim of this report will be to provide an idea in business and the benefits that
the product will have along with the business canvas model and the success factors. The
report will also provide the idea feasibility as well as the recommendations for the product.
Overview of the business idea
The use of baby bibs is increasing within the industry and the major challenge that is
being faced is that it has to be cleaned on a constant manner. This has resulted in carrying
more number of clothes by the parents and also ensure that they are being cleaned every time
on a periodic manner. The idea of making these baby bibs will therefore help the parents in
not carrying too many clothes, which is an effective solution for them as well as ensure that
the children are clean (Schnitzlein & Haralambopoulos, 2014). The bibs will come in small
sizes so that it can decrease the weight of the luggage when the parents are travelling with
their children. Most of the materials that will be required for the baby bibs can be sourced
directly from the stores that are available locally so that it can be modified and used in the
new baby bibs. This will result in decreasing the level of cost of the business, as the funds can
be sourced directly from the fundraisers and the product can be supported through the various
financial institutions that are present in the area (vorn Hofe et al., 2017).

Benefits of the idea
The use of baby bib also help in providing many benefits, as it can be disposed of
after being used. It also helps in keeping the children clean, as it is very difficult for the child
to understand what they are doing. This is due to the fact that their habits of feeding is
different from that of the adults and they tend to spill their food on the clothing materials as
well. The baby bibs that are disposable in nature will help in maintaining the level of
cleanliness of the children, as it can be disposed at an easier rate without cleaning it
(Zuccarello, 2014).
Another major benefit that the use of disposable baby bibs provide is that the parents
do not need to carry the extra clothes for their children. It has been seen that the parents carry
almost 4 to 5 clothes on a daily manner so that it can help in cleaning the child as well as
disposing the materials. This is due to the fact that the child needs to be provided with
frequent meals, which will damage the clothes and needs to be changed on a frequent manner
(Monoson & Monoson, 2017). The new baby bibs are light and can be disposed, which will
help the parents in reducing the chances of carrying bulk materials. The other benefits of
using this baby bibs are as follows:
 It will help in protecting the baby from skin rashes as well, as the food will not come
in contact with the skin of the child
 It is cost-effective as well due to its cheap price
 It will also protect the babies from getting their clothes stained due to the overspill of
food (Morgan et al., 2015)
