Choosing the right size
Each store names its sizes differently. Halloween Express lists baby sizes from 0 to 3 months up to 24 months, toddler 2T to 5T and youth 4 to 16. Party City covers 0 to 6 months up to large, for toddlers through age 12. HalloweenCostumes.com and FUN.com sort by baby, toddler, kids and teen. Spirit Halloween says most of its costumes run smaller than standard sizes and advises choosing the bigger size when a child is between two. If trick-or-treating will be cold, leave room for a sweater underneath, and keep the tags on until the costume has been tried.
Read the labels on accessories
Some accessories carry the maker's warnings. Party City, for example, marks some masks "Choking hazard: small parts. Not for children under 3 years." Check the age guidance on the product page before buying masks, props or small add-ons for a toddler.
