Carseat Angel Costume
My toddler got invited to a few tot-size Halloween parties, and I couldn't leave the baby (2 months old) at home. Halloween creeped up on me quickly, though, with a newborn at home and I just couldn't get out to get him a costume - and there was no real time to sew him a bunting. I wasn't sure my collicky baby was going to be happy in an itchy costume anyhow. At the last minute I dug through the dressup trunk and pulled this carseat angel costume together.
The idea is to dress up the carseat rather than the baby - then there'd be no complaints. I dressed him in a white onesie and white socks. Before strapping him in, I spread out a cheap nylon pair of wings across the carseat, making sure the straps still functioned.
After he was seated a took the halo, bent the headpiece a bit and stuffed it in behind his headrest. I thought he looked adorable, he wasn't uncomfortable at all, and everyone loved him. (I maybe should have added a sign saying "I'm a boy" though.)
