Best Baby Halloween Costumes for 2024

This adorable bee costume will have everyone buzzing about how adorable your little cutie looks. The costume comes with a black and yellow striped hooded tunic with wings on the back and antennae up top. You can add tights and a long-sleeve onesie if it's cold where you live.
"Very cute! My baby is 6 months and it fits her well. The hat/headpiece is a little large, but I think it’s better that way so that it isn’t restricting or uncomfortable for the baby. The body piece has stuffing in it which makes the costume more cute and chunky!" said one proud parent.
Age group: 2 months-5T | Material: Flannel | Theme: Animal
What kid doesn't love dinosaurs, especially when they're friendly and in a fun color? This bright red dino is warm, cozy and cuddly — making it ideal for colder climates or if your Halloween parties are pushing up against bedtime. It's made from fluffy fleece that will offer warmth when you're out and about with your little one on Halloween night.
This pick also happens to be a No. 1 best seller on Amazon with more than 3,400 five-star reviews. "This costume is adorable!" one shopper raved. "It is super soft. I got 18-24 mo for my 15 month old and it fits great. We live in Pennsylvania so I wanted it to be a little bigger so we could layer if needed. It was easy to put on and wrapped up really well. The quality of the costume is really good as well!"
Age group: 6 months to 7 years | Material: 100% Polyester | Theme: Animal
Whether they are fans of the zoo, or they're off to see the wonderful Wizard of Oz, this furry, fuzzy lion costume will inspire roars of glee. This plush get-up comes with a face-framing mane, a lion suit onesie complete with a tail, a pair of grippy, toddler-friendly lion paw booties and a plush toy zebra for good measure.
Over 2,000 five-star reviewers praise this costume for being cute and comfy for all ages. "Great for our toddler! It was easy to put on which sometimes can be a struggle with toddlers. He loved the costume and actually kept the head part on so it must have been comfortable enough. It was also great for a chilly night. We were able to add some layers underneath," said one shopper.
Age group: 6 to 24 months | Material: 100% Polyester | Theme: Career
Your little one is sure to set hearts afire in this absolutely adorable little firefighter costume. People who've purchased it appreciate that it's easy to slip on and that it's lightweight enough for milder climates.
"Super comfortable and not a heavy costume which is great for the warm weather," one shopper wrote in their review. "Also love how the hat is a soft fabric and not a hard plastic."
Another commenter added, "My son was too young for trick or treating, but this was great for photos. It was true to size, cute, and was worth the money. ... It came as described. It also made changing diapers easy with the buttons underneath."
Age group: 0 to 24 months | Material: Cotton Blend | Theme: Animal
Who says your cutie can't also be spooky? Your little pumpkin is sure to cast a spell in this cozy bat ensemble — it’s frightfully adorable and spook-tacularly soft! The plain, soft front and ornate back make this batty onesie especially adorable for little boos who still partake in tummy time.
"Perfect costume for my little girl!" one fan wrote in their review. "Her sister was a bat for her first Halloween, and we wanted to keep the tradition. This was perfect. It's made like regular onesies/rompers, so it's not fuzzy and won't make your baby super hot."
Age group: 7 to 24 months | Material: 100% Polyester | Theme: Animal
They may be too tiny to truly strut their stuff, but if they've mastered the art of sitting, this precious peacock costume is a must. The vibrant wings will fan out behind them, perfectly framing that sweet face and turning every moment into an Instagram-worthy picture.
Many shoppers have commented on how cute this costume is, but some note that the plume is a bit thin. "The whole costume is super cute," one person wrote. "The only downside is the blue fuzzy on the feather park is not as full as it is in the picture."
