Babies are adorable when they’re dressed up like themselves let alone when they put on a costume. Baby Halloween costumes fill the spectrum from penguins and unicorns to tootsie rolls and superheroes. If Halloween is a snow-filled event in your area, many baby costumes are thick, warm, and cover baby from head to toe. For the child that doesn’t like hats or hoods, there are options that leave the head completely free. Models with open feet make it easier for neighborhood trick or treating but if you’ll be carrying your baby, a close-footed costume will be warmer. Have a wiggly little one? Look for costumes with Velcro closures. No matter what you choose, your little one will be photo (and candy) worthy.
