The Costume For Halloween Toddlers
By Patricia Gorginas
As a new parent, you’re likely full of anxiety and apprehension
about your little bundle of joy. A costume seems like the least
of your worries when you think of all the other dangers surrounding
Halloween, such as cars being unable to see you and your baby
in the dark or what to do with your baby at a Halloween party.
By taking a few proper safety precautions, you can review your
options and ensure a happy Halloween regardless. Your best bet,
if you decide to trick or treat, is to take the baby out before
dark, just after dinner, with your other children. Choose colorful
costumes and add reflective tape to the stroller and part of the
costume. Halloween is a fun holiday and your baby will love the
novelty of his or her costume design.
Ideally, a costume will be comfortable, not too hot, not too
cold and easy to undo for changing time. There shouldn’t be any
appendages that will irritate the baby or trip the toddler. Remember
that material-wise cotton is durable and comfortable, when compared
to polyester, and plush fabrics are snuggly for the baby, but
not necessarily so if you live in muggy Florida.
Do Not Place Masks Or Face Paint On Your Baby
Be sure to look over the costume design for anything that might
be pulled off or choked on. Avoid buying masks or using face paints
on your baby and if you plan on participating in a trick or treat
romp around the neighborhood to show off your newborn, then be
sure you and your stroller are highly visible with reflective
tape and light colors.
Most importantly, check the label to be sure the outfit is flame
retardant and machine washable! Now that you know the safety tips,
it’s time to think more creatively about finding the best infant
and toddler costumes.
Ideal Costume For Your Baby
At www.onestepahead.com
you will find some of the cutest toddler costumes online and the
ideal costume for your baby. For the active, climbing baby, the
costume you’re sure to love is "baby gorilla"
for 12/18 month old babies. The furry jumpsuit has a gorilla head
attached but keeps the face open so your baby can see and the
non-slip tread on the slipper feet prevents falls.
Equally adorable is the "baby lobster," which is a
unique bunting for newborns and babies who aren’t walking yet,
and it slips off easily for changing time too! If you’re looking
for a costume that exudes irony, then go for the "Lil’ Stinker
Skunk" for baby. With its soft plush material, cushiony tail,
matching Romper and pants, newborns to 25 pounders will be more
than comfortable.
Baby Pea In A Pod
Another good costume for babies who aren’t walking yet is the
"baby pea in a pod," which fits babies from birth to
9 months and is adorable for twins! Lastly, there’s a sale on
the adorable "Hershey Kiss" child costume design this
year, marked from $16.95 down to $6.95, and is ideal for infants
who are 15-26 lbs. or toddlers who are 25-36 lbs.
This outfit comes with a padded lamé tunic and cap, as well as
the option of buying a stretchy cotton/spandex crisp white mock
turtleneck t-shirt and fitted waistband pants for layering.
3-In-1 Kids Costumes
There are also some new costume design concepts over at Annies
Costumes. For instance, the 3-in-1 kids costumes give you a better
bang for your buck, allowing kids to transform their costume into
three different looks for one price! For $49.95, your son can
dress as a cowboy with vest, star and scarf, an Indian with a
feathered headband, collar with bib and belt with loin cloth,
or Peter Pan with cape, hat, belt and boot tops.
In addition to the costume, the set also comes with a light brown
shirt and dark brown pants and comes in Toddler (Size 2-3), Small
(Size 4-6), Medium (Size 8-10), Large (Size 12-14), and XLarge
(Size 14-16). Girls may love the devil/Spanish dancer/Minnie Mouse
combo. Another new concept is the functional costume that holds
candy too!
So far the only option is the T-Rex "candy catcher"
toddler costumes or the kangaroo with a pouch, but there are bound
to be more in the coming years.
