What Are Some Easy DIY Costume Ideas for Families?

DIY costumes don’t have to be complicated. Start by rummaging through your closet—odds are, you’ve already got the pieces for something creative. Go for classics like a family of ghosts—grab some sheets, cut a few eye holes, and boom, you're done. A family of tourists is another easy option: think Hawaiian shirts, socks and sandals, and even a sunhat and sunglasses.

These DIY costumes are also perfect for families on a budget, using what you already have at home without spending a fortune. The key is to keep it low-stress and high on fun, all while using things you’ve got on hand. Bonus: no last-minute store runs or glue gun burns required!

You can also use a baby carrier like Tushbaby as a makeshift part of your Halloween outfit—elevating your costume and comfort levels while trick-or-treating. Use it as the pouch for a kangaroo and joey duo, or a place for Winnie the Pooh (you) to carry their little pot of honey?

The Tushbaby Carrier is a game-changer for a night of spooky fun, with built-in lumbar support to relieve back strain and convenient storage pockets for essentials like snacks, wipes, and candy. Plus, with its buckle-free design, you can effortlessly lift your baby on and off the seat, keeping them close and comfortable while you enjoy a stress-free Halloween night.

How Do I Make Sure Halloween Costumes Are Safe for Babies?

When it comes to baby Halloween costumes, safety is everything. Let’s explore a few tips to ensure your baby’s costume is as safe as it is cute.

Skip anything with loose strings, small buttons, or accents that could be a choking hazard.
Stick to soft, breathable fabrics that won’t irritate your baby’s skin, and make sure the costume isn’t too tight or restrictive—comfort is key.
Avoid styles of masks or hats that block their vision or breathing.
Pack an extra layer in your Tushbaby Carrier in case the night gets cold.

Bottom line: keep it cozy, simple, and safe so you and baby can enjoy the night stress-free.

The Tushbaby Hip Carrier is your trick-or-treating sidekick, keeping your little one close while saving your back during all those "up-down" moments. With built-in storage for essentials like candy, diapers, and wipes for sticky fingers, it’s the perfect solution for navigating Halloween chaos with ease.
