With September in full swing, it’s only a matter of weeks before we get to October – one of the best times of the year. Given the current global climate, we’re not quite sure where we stand with Halloween. But even if we can’t go out and celebrate this year, we can still dress up and observe Halloween within the safety of our homes. And that will most likely be the safest option for those families who have small kids or infants.
Dressing up little kids is always a Halloween highlight for parents, especially if you want to do family-oriented costumes. While dressing up in matching or complementary outfits with your kids is fun and adorable, it’s a little harder to do with infants since you have to factor in a baby carrier. For most parents, the easiest and hands-free way of toting around their baby is using a baby carrier. But how do you dress that up exactly?
Well, below are 15 super cute ideas for parents with babies on how to incorporate baby carriers into the mix.
