Kids Piggyback Costumes

How a kids piggyback costume works

The mock legs are self-stuff: you fill them yourself to complete the piggyback illusion.

Every design is 100% polyester. Every costume goes through over 30 measurement checks, and we run over 500,000 quality checks annually.

Choosing between toddler and kids sizes

Each design is one size fits most, and the product pages say what that covers. The Former President and T-Rex pages state a height of 3'11" to 5'3", the Alien states ages 6 to 12, and the two toddler designs are sized for toddlers. The Wrestler, Zombie, and Kids Skeleton pages state one size fits most children and point to the size guide, so check it first.
