What Are Baby Wearing Costumes?

Baby-wearing costumes go over the carrier (that you already own) and your little one just wears the decorative hat. They're designed for families who want to keep their little ones close, while dressing up. Other costume alternatives for babies under one are solo costumes and car-seat costumes. Below we highlight use cases for each.

It's best to order costumes towards the end of the September or at the start of October. That way you'll have time to make any exchanges if the costume doesn't fit or isn't what you were looking for.
