As a parent, dressing your baby up for Halloween is so much fun because no matter the costume, they always look downright adorable. Still, even though your baby would look cute in just about anything, there is something to be said for putting a lot of thought into their costume. When shopping for baby Halloween costumes, caregivers should consider things like sizing, comfort, and trendiness before making their final decision. There are a lot of options out there though, so we've rounded up some of the best ones to help you find the right look for your little one.

The shirt and socks are lightweight and breathable while the onesie is thick, and made from fleece to keep your little one warm on Halloween night. This costume is available for babies between 3 and 24 months old and is washing machine safe.

There are lots of fun twin costumes out there, but Dr. Seuss' Thing 1 and Thing 2 will forever be among the best. These costumes come with mittens, a onesie with side snaps for easy diaper changes, and a hat for blue hair.

Costume size ranges from 0-6M to 12-24M, with the smaller sizes having a footie design and the larger size having a pants design for safe running while trick or treating.

You can't go wrong with a skeleton costume, whether you're a baby or a festive adult. Sizes for this costume range from 0-3 months to 18-24 months and there are four similar styles available, either as a onesie with a hood or a onesie with a hat.

These costumes are made from breathable cotton but are still pretty thin, so if temps drop in your area around Halloween, you'll want to layer up your little one to help them stay warm.

What's more stunning than a peacock's feathers? A baby dressed up like a peacock. This costume is over the top in all of the best ways. It comes with four pieces, a jumpsuit, tail, booties, and a hood with a beak.

The only thing that's tricky about it is the sizing, so you'll want to have your measuring tape handy to make sure you order the correct size for your baby bird.

This Woody costume is absolutely adorable, but the best part about it is that it has a simple comfortable design that won't irritate your baby. It comes with a long sleeve onesie designed to look like Sherif Woody's outfit and a little cowboy hat to complete the look.

You can either let your baby rock the costume as is or add a pair of jeans and boots to complete the look. It's available in a variety of sizes for babies as young as newborns and up to 24 months old.

There really isn't a more classic, timeless Halloween costume than a Jack-O-Lantern. You can find Jack-O-Lantern costumes pretty much anywhere, but we especially love this one because it isn't bulky. It's made from super soft fleece material, making it very comfortable for babies.

It's available in sizes ranging from 0-6M to 12-24M, and it comes with the little pumpkin-top hat and the jumper, which can be worn over a shirt and pants of your choosing.

Parents looking for a costume that is sure to be cozy will love this little panda jumper that zips up the front and features an adorable hood. It has soft elastic cuffs along the wrists and ankles, a safety tab over the zipper, and is made from soft, warm flannel.

While the costume itself is easy to put on and take off, it's not meant to be worn by babies under 2 months old, and parents should pay attention to the sizing chart before ordering to ensure they get the correct size.

Bats don't have to be scary, and this costume is proof of that. It's available in a range of sizes for babies from newborn to 12 months old, and there are three color options. The two-piece costume includes a long sleeve jumper with little bat wings stitched in under the arms and a hat that features bat ears and ties on under the chin.

Let the wild rumpus start! IfWhere The Wild Things Are is a family favorite bedtime story, then this adorable Max costume for Halloween will be an instant hit. It's available in three sizes for babies, from newborn to 24M, and includes a jumpsuit and hood to match Max's wild thing pajamas.

All the details are included, too, from the furry tail to the crown, down to the little whiskers. It's perfect for making Halloween mischief of one kind or another.

It's a one-piece jumper featuring a NASA patch, a little utility belt, and a collar just like a real spacesuit. It has snaps for easy changes and is made from soft, machine-washable fabric.

Final Verdict

You could dress your baby up in a potato sack and they'd be as cute as ever, so any one of these costumes is a great pick. That being said, you can't go wrong with a Jack-O-Lantern costume (view at retailer) because it's a classic that will never go out of style.

What to Look for When Buying Halloween Costumes for Babies

Trendiness

Parents tend to fall on a spectrum when it comes to trendy things for their kids. Some parents have a "the trendier the better" mentality, some want their kids to stand out from the trends, and others fall somewhere in between. If you're looking for something really trendy, consider a character from a recent well-loved movie or a popular object in costume form (like an avocado).

For the caregivers who fall in the middle, go with something timeless like a Jack-O-Lantern or a character like Mickey Mouse. As for the parents who like something totally different, go with an animal or character that wouldn't normally be so cute if it weren't for your baby, like a skunk or a spooky character from a movie.

Comfort

Unless you want to spend Halloween soothing a fussy baby, you'll want to make sure the costume you buy is comfortable. Make sure all of the fabric touching your baby's skin is soft, not scratchy or rough, won't make them too warm or cold, and doesn't limit movement at all.

If it is typically chilly in your part of the world on Halloween, consider sizing up, so your little one has plenty of room for you to comfortably add layers underneath their costume. This way they'll but warm and toasty without imposing on their spooky look.

Sizing

Baby clothing sizing is rarely consistent across brands, and the same is true across costume brands. Costumes are typically sized in either two, three, or six-month increments, and it's especially important to get sizing right for the littlest babies who aren't able to control their heads or rollover as well as for older babies who are cruising or walking.

For the youngest babies, you'll want to avoid costumes designed to fit babies 0-6 months, as they will likely be much too large. While a slightly loose costume on an older baby might be okay, it's important to pay attention to the length so that they don't trip and fall while walking.
