Cleans and dries very quickly, the colors do not are fading despite frequent washing (use for over a year, every day). Protects the thighs also when the child is sitting (the bib reaches to the knees) and that's really nice. Contrary to what I've read elsewhere, I did not notice that my child was sweating in the plastic sleeves. The deck is made of fabric, so at the end of meals, there are stains and must pass the machine, The deck did not clean with a sponge. The attachment at the neck is done by snaps. There are 2 possible positions depending on the child's neck. A great product.
