Kids Dinosaur Costumes
We make kids dinosaur costumes in four builds: soft jumpsuits with a separate dinosaur headpiece, inflatable open-mouth suits, a light-up inflatable skeleton, and a ride-on design your child climbs inside. Every costume goes through over 30 measurement checks, and all of our kids' products are safety tested by accredited labs.

Kids Dinosaur Costumes in Four Builds
The inflatable and light-up styles use a small fan and battery pack to hold their shape, and on three of the four your child's face shows through an opening below the dinosaur's head rather than through the jaw itself, so it stays uncovered while they wear it. Batteries (4 AA) are not included, so buy a set alongside the costume.
How to Pick the Right Style and Size
Start with how much bulk your child will put up with: the inflatable and ride-on builds sit wide around the body and need a fan running the whole time, while the jumpsuits have no fan, no batteries and nothing to switch on. The jumpsuit styles cover the widest age range, from age 3 up through age 14 depending on which one you pick, and come with either a separate headpiece you can lift on and off between photos or a hood sewn into the suit. Always check the size chart on each product page rather than going by age alone, since our sizing groups by height as well.

The Kids Inflatable T-Rex Dinosaur Costume is a one-size pull-on design with a built-in fan, so your child steps in, switches the fan on and the suit holds its own shape. |
For a bonier look, the Kids Giant T-Rex Skeleton Inflatable Costume prints black-and-white bones over the same fan-held inflatable shape, with your child's face showing through an opening below the dinosaur's open jaw. |

After dark, the Kids Skeleton T-Rex Light Up Costume adds a pair of glowing red eyes to that same skeleton design, and stays fully inflated for over four hours on a set of batteries. |
Instead of wearing the dinosaur, your child rides it: the Kids Ride On T-Rex Skeleton Inflatable Costume is a one-size inflatable that stays fully puffed up for over four hours on a fan and battery pack running on 4 AA batteries. |

Frequently asked questions
What age is a kids dinosaur costume suitable for?
Every costume in this range, jumpsuit or inflatable, carries the same age floor: not suitable for children under 3 years of age due to small parts. Above that, sizes run up to age 14 depending on which style you pick. Check the size guide on each product page before ordering, since exact age and height bands vary by design.
Do the inflatable dinosaur costumes need batteries?
Yes. The inflatable and ride-on styles use a small fan and battery pack to hold their shape, and all of them take 4 AA batteries that are not included in the box. Keep a spare set to hand for a long day of wear.
Can my child see and breathe properly inside an inflatable dinosaur costume?
Yes. On the pull-on and skeleton inflatables, your child's face shows through an opening below the dinosaur's head rather than being covered by a mask, so their eyes, nose and mouth stay clear. The ride-on style is different again: your child's head and upper body sit outside the costume entirely, above the inflatable dinosaur. Any inflatable does add bulk around the body, so it is still worth keeping an eye on them on stairs or uneven ground.
What comes in the box with a kids dinosaur costume?
The jumpsuit styles include the costume and a separate headpiece, or a built-in hood on the one-piece design; the inflatable and ride-on styles include the inflatable suit plus a fan and battery pack, and some also come with a pair of matching gloves. Batteries themselves are sold separately; nothing else needs buying to wear it.
How do I clean a dinosaur costume after wear?
Cold hand wash and air dry rather than the washing machine or tumble dryer. On the inflatable styles, remove the fan and battery pack first and keep those electrical parts dry at all times.
Are dinosaur costumes only for Halloween?
No. Themed birthday parties, school dress-up days and playing dinosaurs around the house all get the same costume out of the closet, and the jumpsuit styles hand wash and air dry ready for the next one.
