Fall is here, and though this year is certainly different, that doesn’t mean your kids can’t get all dressed up in their Halloween costumes, carve pumpkins, eat some (too much?) candy, and have a blast. There’s always one question that haunts parents everywhere this time of year: what should my kid be for Halloween? No matter who or what your kid wants to be this Halloween (be it a princess, a robot, a dinosaur, or a dino-robot-princess) we’ve got great ideas about how to turn your kids favorite ride-on toy into the perfect D.I.Y. Halloween costume!

The iconic Cozy Coupe has been around for more than 40 years, bringing joy to generations of families.
