ABSTRACT:
A tray and bib food catching apparatus for use in child feeding or the feeding of individuals where spilled food may be likely. The tray and bib food catching device allows food, including liquids, to be captured and retained in a pocket formed by the bib when used in conjunction with a tray. In one embodiment, the tray and the bib are integrally formed. The bib has an opening for the neck of the child or other user and has two arm openings. The arm openings are located closer to the tray than the neck opening such that when the bib is placed over the head and arms of a user, the upper arms and shoulder tend to support the fabric of the bib in an elevated position at the sides and allow the bib to sag into a pocket-like formation at the center immediately below the neck opening. The tray may also be made of a rigid material and be generally U-shaped at the edge facing the user.
