How to Choose Inflatable Costumes for Adults and Kids

Inflatable costumes can make Halloween, parties and celebrations more memorable. Choosing a design is fun, but fit, visibility, power and movement matter too. Use this quick buying guide before choosing an inflatable costume from Party Time Solution.

Start with the right age group

We organize our costumes into two easy-to-shop categories: adult inflatable costumes and kids' inflatable costumes. Some adult designs are intended as a one-size style, while kids' models may have different fit requirements. Always check the selected product's listed sizing information instead of assuming two costumes fit the same way.

Choose a character that fits your event

Animal characters, dinosaurs and playful costumes work well for many themed celebrations. For Halloween, you may prefer a spooky or funny design. For a school or community event, consider a character that suits the environment and allows the wearer to move comfortably.

Check visibility and room to move

An inflatable costume should allow the wearer to see clearly, move carefully and avoid trip hazards. Practice walking in a clear indoor area before wearing it at a busy event. Children should have appropriate adult supervision, and costumes should never be used in situations where visibility or movement is unsafe.

Understand inflation and battery setup

Many PTS inflatable costumes use a battery-powered blower. For models that specify four AA batteries, use the batteries indicated in the included instructions and ensure that the fan and cable are positioned correctly. Close the zipper fully, check the openings and allow the costume to inflate before moving around. Exact instructions may vary by model.

Keep your costume in good condition

Before and after use, check the fabric and fasteners, keep the blower intake clear, and store the costume clean and dry. Follow the care instructions included with your product. If any electrical component or seam is damaged, discontinue use and contact support.
