“The stylish good looks of the lunchbug got top marks from our testers, as did its stain-resistant fabric.” – Family Fun magazine, September 2008

"It's the perfect size for my 7 year old son's lunch. The bag is big enough for a small thermos, water bottle and one or two other small containers or ice pack. The big plus is it is easily washable and I don't have to deal with lingering, smelly, sour odors!" – Edie K, customer

"After two years of daily use, regular laundering (in the washer and even the dryer!), we are finally picking new patterns for this school year." - WhatsCookingBlog.com

"The bag is a breeze to clean: just wipe and air dry, or toss in the laundry for a more thorough cleaning. I love how compact and light-weight it is - once done with lunch, you can just fold it flat and it takes very little space in a purse or backpack." - Just Another New Blog

Spillmats
“One of the first things I bought when our pediatrician said it was time for solids was a splash mat. And I’ve never taken it out of the bag because it’s so hideous I’d rather clean up sweet potatoes from the floor. Obviously, I hadn't heard of Mimi the Sardine. The patterns are bright, fun, and definitely worth taking out of the bag.” - Droolicious

“This product is completely ingenious!” – naturalmommie.com

"I have a hard time describing the fabric, but, it is soft and also has a sturdiness and strength. The acrylic coating isn't shiny but gives the fabric a nice sheen. I washed the Splashmat thinking it might possibly fray and would not maintain its form. However, I was completely wrong. It came out perfectly and since it came folded, the washing relaxed the fabric so now it lays perfectly flat!" - A Giveaway Addicted Mommy

Bibs

"I first tried Mimi the Sardine's bibs based on my cousin's recommendation and found them to be some of the best out there!    I was so impressed with their beautiful prints, durability and wonderful design!" - Avery and Augustine blog

“I won't ever buy another bib!! It's super easy to just wipe off anything and always catches the drops. I keep an extra in my car for dinner out and other parents stop and even ask where to get one too” – Anonymous customer

"“We started using Mimi the Sardine bibs when our daughter was about seven months old. Well, two years later, the exact same Mimi the Sardine bibs are still in service at our home, after countless cycles in our washer and dryer. We've been amazed at how well the bibs have grown with our daughter and how well they've held up. And they are adorable! " - Urthbaby.com

“A totally cute (and eco-friendly!) way to catch your baby’s every mess.” Parent & Child magazine, November 2009

Messy Baby Bib

“They are the only bibs my messy 12 month old daughter will keep on and her clothing is no longer stained! This is miraculous to say the least! My husband is even a big fan (he is one tough critic)! I really love this product!” – Melissa G, customer

"Imagine, a bib that actually does its job!" - Droolicious

“We just love this backpack. Its just right for the small child to wear on their back as even if loaded up would not be to heavy.” – Cheryl D., customer email
