A garment designed to protect the clothing of a child from food and drink spills while a child is eating is constructed generally by two pieces, a back flap and a lower piece. The back flap covers the upper back and shoulders of the child wearing the garment and provides a counterbalance to the lower piece, which covers the arms, body, and most of the legs of the child. The back flap and lower piece, when joined together, form an opening for a child's head and a side closure for securing the garment to the child. The arm, body, and leg portions of the lower piece are specifically shaped to provide optimal protection to the child's clothing, while also allowing relatively free movement of the child's arms. The garment is also designed so that it may be worn by a child sitting in a conventional high chair.
