This SUPER MARIO Nintendo baby costume bodysuit and hat set is adorable and comfortable for babies of any age.

What could be cuter than dressing your baby as everyone’s favorite neon green, perfectly circular one-eyed cretin? The Baby Mike Wazowski Costume pays homage one of Disney and Pixar’s most recognizable characters with his giant eye, wide smile, and two little horns. And you and your partner can easily find Sully costumes in adult sizes (both true Halloween costumes and giant onesie pajamas if you’d prefer), or you can pay homage to Mike’s love interest from Monsters, Inc., Celia, by dressing as her instead. Don’t forget to help your baby apply their odorant. Mike’s signature scents include smelly garbage, low tide, and wet dog.

This baby Happy Harvest scarecrow costume is the perfect option for a little one you want to be festive yet comfortable.

Sorry not sorry, this costume is just too funny. Dad can wear his best suit and sunglasses and give the Secret Service and POTUS parent and baby costume to the real brawn in the family: Mama. This one doesn’t come with clothes for whichever parent is wearing the POTUS baby, but just do your best with whatever black clothing items you have on hand. Plus, if you want to keep people socially distanced from your baby this year, you can do it in a comical way, telling people to please step back with one hand on your ear and your most official sounding voice.

This chef and spaghetti baby and me costume comes with a silver pot cover to slip over a baby carrier, a spaghetti and meatballs headpiece for your baby, and a chef’s hat and smock for Mom or Dad to wear. Since the costume only covers two out of three family members, you’ll have to decide if the other parent will be a chef as well, or perhaps they could dress as a jar of tomato sauce? Some moms have done this dressed as Prego-brand sauce to announce they’re expecting baby number two, but you could choose a generic version if you’re happy with your one little meatball for now.

Just like the chef and spaghetti baby costume, this bank robber and money bag getup is intended for two, but it’s easy to add in a costume for Mom or Dad. This set includes a money bag baby carrier cover and faux cash headpiece for baby, as well as a black beanie and eye mask for either Mom or Dad to wear (you’ll have to supply the shirt, pants, and shoes). You could either have your partner dress as another burglar, or they could be a bank teller, police officer, or anything else you can think of.
