Kids inflatable costumes are blow-up outfits with a small battery-powered fan built in. Switch the fan on and most of ours hold their shape for over 4 hours on a set of 4 x AA batteries. We build most of them head-free, so your child's face stays out in the open and they can see and talk normally instead of peering through a sealed window.
Which kids inflatable costume should you pick?
Four formats sit in this range and they wear completely differently. An illusion costume, like our alien, prancing horse, or pirate mermaid, makes it look like your child is being carried, ridden, or swept along by a much bigger character, with their own face left open the whole time. A full-body creature suit, like our T-Rex, turns your child into the animal itself: pull-on, hook-and-loop fastened at the front. A solid-color blow-up suit, like our black Megamorph, skips the character illusion for a plain rounded shape. An inflatable accessory, like our jet pack, straps over whatever your child is already wearing rather than replacing it. Pick the format first, since it changes how the costume looks and feels to wear, then check the size chart on the specific product page: sizing isn't consistent across the range.

The Alien PMU Inflatable Kids costume makes it look like a green alien is carrying your child off, and it's head-free, so their face stays clear the whole time. Sized for ages 5 to 11, it runs for over 4 hours on 4 x AA batteries, which aren't included. |
If your child would rather be the dinosaur than be carried off by one, the Kids Inflatable T-Rex Dinosaur Costume is the one full-body creature suit on this page. It pulls on over their own clothes, fastens with hook-and-loop at the front, and the built-in fan inflates it once switched on. One size fits most kids. |

The Prancing Horse Inflatable Kids costume lets your child ride the horse rather than wear it, head-free so their face stays clear the whole time. It goes on over normal clothes and runs for over 4 hours. |
Want the illusion with a bit of plot? The Kids Pirate Mermaid Pick Me Up Inflatable Costume makes it look like a pirate has your child by the tail, so it reads as a pirate with a mermaid rather than a plain mermaid costume. Head-free, with hook-and-loop fastening for a quick change, it fits most kids, with small, medium, and large options available too. |

For something that goes over a costume they already own, the Kids Jet Pack Inflatable Costume straps on over your child's own outfit rather than replacing it, working more like an accessory than a full costume. Sized for children from 3'11" to 5'3". |
The Kids Black Inflatable Megamorph skips the character and the illusion for a plain black blow-up shape that inflates in seconds. One size fits most children, and there's a hidden pocket for a phone or small valuables. |

The same formats come in adult sizes too. Our adult inflatable costumes cover similar styles in bigger sizes.
What to check before you buy
Every costume on this page runs on a built-in battery-powered fan. Most take 4 x AA batteries, not included in the box; check the product page for the exact battery type before you buy. Pack a spare set for a party or trick-or-treating, so the costume doesn't deflate halfway through the night.
Sizing varies by product, not by format. Most of our kids inflatable costumes are one size covering a wide age or height range: the alien is sized for ages 5 to 11, the jet pack for children from 3'11" to 5'3". The pirate mermaid also lists small, medium, and large options. Check the size chart on the product page before you buy. Every costume goes through over 30 measurement checks. Care is a sponge wipe with the fan pack removed, never a machine wash.
Frequently asked questions
Are kids inflatable costumes safe?
All of our kids' products are safety tested by accredited labs. We run over 500,000 quality checks a year. Most of the designs on this page are head-free, so nothing seals over your child's face while they are wearing it, and the fan pack is the only powered part. As with any costume with small parts, ours aren't suitable for children under 3.
Do kids inflatable costumes need batteries?
Yes. Every costume on this page has a built-in fan, and most take 4 x AA batteries, not included in the box. Check the product page for the exact battery type before you buy, and pack a spare set for a long night.
What size inflatable costume does my child need?
It depends on the product, not the format. Most are one size covering a wide age or height range, and a few also list small, medium, and large options. The alien is sized for ages 5 to 11; the jet pack is a height fit, listed for children from 3'11" to 5'3". Check the size chart on the product page for the one you want.
How do kids inflatable costumes stay inflated?
A built-in fan runs off the battery pack and keeps air moving through the costume, and elastic seals hold the air in once it's inflated. Your child puts it on, you flip the switch, and the shape fills out in seconds. Turn the fan off and it deflates the same way it inflated.
How long does the battery last on an inflatable costume?
Most of the kids inflatable costumes on this page run for over 4 hours of continuous wear on a set of 4 x AA batteries. That covers a party or an evening of trick-or-treating with room to spare. Older batteries shorten it, which is the argument for carrying the spare set.
