Baby-Wearing Costume Ideas

Depending on the age of your little one when Halloween rolls around, trick-or-treating might be made a lot easier with the use of a baby carrier. To make sure that your baby's adorable costume doesn't get hidden by the entire Ergo or Baby Bjorn, you could incorporate the carrier into the costume completely.

Scroll through for 15 baby-wearing costumes that are sure to inspire you and your baby's getups this Halloween.

1. Frosted Flakes

Do you have a little "tiger" at home that would be perfect for this? This is so original — I love it! You could easily make this costume with a bit of felt and a large cardboard box. Grab a tiger costume for your little one, strap him in your baby carrier and you're good to go!

2. Spider Web And Spider

Capture your little one in your web with this adorable mom and baby costume. Your baby is the spider and you're the web. Don't know where to start with this one? Don't worry, Martha Stewart has you covered.

3. Horse And Cowboy

This horse costume looks really complex, but it's really just a hoodie with fabric scraps attached to the top and a horse mask made from felt. Deck your little one out as a cowboy or cowgirl, strap 'em on your back, and get collecting that candy!

4. Bank Robber Family

Mom and dad are the robbers and they have stolen wads of cash — you can't see the cash, but I bet it's super adorable! If you have an older child, let them in on your fun and dress them up as a police officer.

5. Sushi And Chef

Do you know a sushi lover? Then you just have to share this idea with them! I prefer a California roll, but this is pretty darn cute, too!

6. Shark Attack

Cutest shark I have ever seen! Hard to be scared of this little one. A blue tulle tutu makes a great ocean, too! How creative. This one is super easy to make.

7. Rocket Ship

Dress yourself up as the night sky. All you need is a black shirt, attach a couple of stars to it and you're good! Now, your baby, on the other hand? They'll be stealing the show as the rocket.

8. Flower And Bee

If you love your little honey bee, then it only makes sense to dress them up as one. You be the flower and dress up the front of your baby carrier in black and yellow strips. The antennas on the hat are really simple to make, too.

9. King Kong

This is "momming" at it's finest. I love the craftsmanship here — check out that flying airplane! Save your cardboard boxes so come this October you can recreate this hilarious costume.

10. ET

They say that family that dresses up together stays together. This family has Halloween down pat! Don't worry that baby isn't floating — he's in a carrier. That's what makes these costumes so amazing!

11. Chef And Lobster

Lobster, anyone? This is one Lobster best served cute! Another super simple costume to recreate. If you can't find a lobster costume to purchase you could easily make one from scratch.

12. Mario Brothers

Now this one takes me back to playing Nintendo with my siblings. Bring Nintendo back this Halloween but in costume form. Hit up your local thrift store to find some red and green shirts!

13. Momma Kangaroo And Joey

I don't know if there is any other costume that is more fitted for a baby carrier. I mean, after all, mama kangaroos do carry their young around in a pouch, too!

14. Baby Carlos And Alan

Go really simple this year and channel The Hangover. Alan and Carlos are beyond easy to recreate, and at this time of year, finding a wig and beard should be no problem!

15. Movie Time

The best thing about going to the movies is the popcorn, right? If you agree, then consider this costume this Halloween. Get Dad in on the fun, too!
