Our Review
The Kikou is very well made and washes up nicely. It definitely is a one size fits all. My 10-year-old daughter can wear it, as well as I can. It does its job of covering clothing from getting stained from spit up. It doesn’t fall off your shoulder like a burp cloth does, nor does spit up still get on your clothing because it provides better coverage than a burp cloth does.
This is a very versatile product as I can see how it could be used as a nursing cover, although I have not tried it yet since I just read that suggestion today! Ok, I just tried it and it works for nursing too. The Kikou is made of fabric heavy enough that it won’t slip off while breastfeeding, but light enough that it will still work as a summer nursing cover and not be too warm. Although, I can see how the lining may cause a nursing mother to perspire more in the summer heat.
Other suggestions of use are:
* During messy arts & craft time with the kids…no more being scared of paints and glue!
* At bath time…go ahead and splash!
* Making dinner…extra sauce!
* Breakfast in the car…keep that coffee off your Kors!
I wish the Kikou had been around when I had my first child who spit up the worst of all our children.

Oh my…I soooo needed this when we were dealing with REFLUX. Great idea
We wear smocks in our church nursery – that are really just hospital scrub jackets. This would be a cuter and probably more effective option though!
