Comfort
No matter how much your child likes the idea of a certain costume, if it’s not comfortable, it’ll be hard to wear. For school-aged kids, not only should the costume be comfy, but something that they can put on themselves or with minimal help. Some schools don’t allow masks, weapons, or other extra accessories, so check the rules prior to in-school events.
Sizing
Use the size chart on a costume site prior to buying. Weight and height measurements are much more accurate than age-based measurements. If you live in a cold climate, sizing up is always a good idea so if Halloween night is freezing, a few layers can fit under a costume.
Why Trust Verywell Family
Maya Polton is a former marketing manager and current freelance writer who covers food, home, and parenting. She’s also the mom of an 11-year-old son, 8-year-old son, and 4-year old daughter. Halloween is a big deal in Maya’s household. She enjoys dressing up just as much as her kids. When her kids were younger, full family costumes were easy. Now her opinionated kids are on their own so she’s back to couple costumes with her husband. Anyone have any new ideas? Follow pedestrian safety rules, crossings streets in groups and always at the corner or crosswalk. Use reflective gear or bright costumes so that drivers can clearly see your group.
