Guide to Buying a Toddlers Halloween Costumes (A Lion, Especially)

What is the key to a lion costume? Well, most would agree that the dealbreakers are:

• A convincing headpiece, with an impressive mane framing the face

• A well-looking tan body

• A long lion tail

But for anyHalloween costumes, there are other factors to be considered as well.  Before you buy, you’ll want to find out if the costume you are considering is:

• Comfortable to wear

• Easy to put on

• Easy to wash

• Durable enough for play

Most of these are obvious enough. If the most adorable costume in the world is not comfortable to wear your toddler is likely to refuse to wear it. Even if it is comfortable when on, dressing will be a struggle unless it is easy  to put on. And since everyone knows how good little people are at making messes, toddlers Halloween costumes should always be easy to wash. Who wants to make constant trips to the drycleaners?

If you mean the costume you buy to be worn only on Halloween, you may not care much about the washing instructions, and the only durability you’ll be looking for will be that it is durable enough to last the night. But if your toddler is super-cute on Halloween, wouldn’t you like to let him reuse the costume for his dress-up playtimes? And then the quality of the costume matters again.

It is lined with a soft, comfortable lining, and will keep your toddler toasty on those chilly autumn nights,  There is an impressive full mane, and the tail, attached with Velcro,  is nice and long.  The Lil’ Lion version, at least, seems to run small, so you may want to consider ordering a size up.
