Summer meals, sorted

A short sleeve baby smock does the same job as its long sleeve sibling with less fabric, which makes it the pick for Australian summers, warm kitchens and toddlers with strong views on sleeves. Every smock bib here is waterproof all the way through, so pasta sauce, mashed pumpkin and paint stay on the outside, and each one ties at the back where curious fingers cannot reach the knot.

The range covers our gingham smocks in light blue, navy, lemon, strawberry and flamingo, plus the Everyday print in Safari Parade. Gingham is machine washable and looks as at home at a picnic as it does in a highchair, while Safari Parade brings mustard, oat and sand to the table for families who like their mess with personality.

Need full arm coverage for the messiest meals? The long sleeve baby smocks go wrist to shoulder, and a silicone bib on top catches whatever falls. Our smock vs silicone bib guide explains the combo, and how many smocks you need sorts the maths. Australian owned and shipped from Melbourne.

Short or long sleeve? Short sleeves suit hot days, outdoor play and toddlers who push sleeves up anyway. Long sleeves win for baby-led weaning and painting, when arms are right in the action. Plenty of families keep one of each, and our short vs long sleeve smocks guide walks through when each one earns its place.

Are short sleeve smocks waterproof? Yes, all the way through, not just a coated front. Most meals end with a quick wipe-down, and the gingham smocks go in the machine when they need a proper clean. Hang them up and they dry fast, so one smock can usually cover breakfast and lunch before it needs a wash.

What size are they? One size for babies and toddlers, with a tie at the back you can loosen as they grow. Pop one over clothes for meals, craft, sandpits and the water table. Building a gift? Pair a smock with a silicone feeding set for a present that actually gets used. Keep a spare in the nappy bag too, because cafe lunches are where good outfits go to die.
