Comment: 6 yo Matthew Lawrence in dark blue bibs and shortalls (season 6) and Lara Jill Miller in rare hickory striped bibs with dark blue legs (but front half only) in 1983 s3e2 (also sitting), probably more scenes of her in earlier seasons. Pics 1 on the left showing Joey Lawrence. Publicity pics with him around 7 yo in dark blue (maybe raw demim) bibs.

I have searched all episodes with him (that are available, s3-s6) at high speed, but haven't found him in bibs.

Thanks once more db1 for listing all Lawrence brothers bibs movies! "Drexell's Class" coming soon (also with a black boy in bibs and a teen girl in rare shortalls), "Diff'rent Strokes" I have a post (pic of  Joey coming soon), "Umbrella Jack" I have a post but still no pic, Tom (1994) I could only found a tiny pic. The rest I already have.

Pic 1 is from 1986 s6e13, pic 3 from s6e6. Joey's tight jeans are also very good here. In s6e12 Matt also wearing dark blue bibs, also sitting. At the intro of s6 Matt seems like wearing red suspenders but might be parts of the guitar or else.

Very few bibs scenes. And Matt is very young, so rating 4 for that only. Joey is more of interest here.

Update: In Nov 2022, I found Sam in season 1 also sitting, previously rating 4 now 5
