Are you looking for some great wagon Halloween costume ideas?
Does the thought of combining your adorable child with an equally adorable wagon costume make your heart just want to explode?
Well, the feeling is mutual!
Whether you’ve somehow convinced the entire family to get on board, or your little one’s costume is begging for some decked out transportation, we’ve compiled our favorite Halloween costume ideas for the stroller wagon that will have you turning heads this holiday.
Explorer Wagons
Blast off to the moon. Set sail on the seven seas—convert your wagon into a vessel of exploration.
1. Blast Off!
@ji1ee
“We landed on the moon!”
The difficulty level on creating a rocketship wagon is probably somewhere in the medium zone. This costume incorporates flexible white forming boards along with PVC tubing for rocket boosters.
Add some space sticker decals and black tape trim, and you’re ready to take your wagon to the stars.
2. Pirate Ship
@therealsaraheddy
“Yarrr, matey!”
Get some pirate outfits, and build yourself a boat! This buccaneer ship was constructed with corrugated cardboard, tape and brown paint.
Use a broomstick to hoist a flag and save some old toilet rolls to mount as cannons. Don’t forget the cutout cup holders—thirsty pirates need refreshments!
3. Yacht Cruiser
@eastsleepwear
A toast to a different spin on the boat here, this wagon costume is not incredibly difficult to put together.
Some white cardboard, colored tape to simulate the waterline on the hull and, of course, a captain hat for your favorite little skipper (and perhaps a few for the first mates as well).
Wagons from Around the Neighborhood
From the construction zone to the rails of locomotion, turn your Halloween wagon into your child’s favorite neighborhood ride!
4. John Deere Cotton Picker
@bethanyashlock
Put in an honest day’s work on the ranch, and convert your wagon into a farm vehicle.
The difficulty level on this John Deere 7450 Cotton Picker is quite high. Material was expertly fashioned and painted to match the actual machine.
The anchor points behind the rear seat of the Veer All-Terrain Cruiser have been modified to connect and hold the header upright. Complete with green fencing in the back to house his cotton, this little farmer is not messing around.
5. Garbage Truck
@katemcmillinsmith
Take out the trash like a pro with a garbage truck inspired Cruiser.
This Waste Management Halloween-themed truck is a bit of an easier build. Cardboard can be cut to match the curve of the garbage receptacle on the back. Aluminum foil and clear tape add a clever touch to the windows, complemented by printed logos and headlights.
6. Caterpillar Construction Wagon
@ames0513
“Move it, I’m working hea’!”
This Caterpillar 450 Backhoe Loader is on the medium to hard level of difficulty to recreate. Cardboard is reinforced with black and yellow tape to connect and firm up this construction machine.
Some folded traction grooves on the back tire and a hardhat for your little rider makes this Halloween wagon costume complete.
7. Choo Choo Train
@natscollis
The All-Terrain Cruiser is built for life off the beaten track—but train tracks might be a first. Here, our Foldable Storage Basket was used to provide a bit more length on the frontend of this spooky locomotive.
A push light helps the conductor navigate, and we honestly don’t know how this incredible smokestack effect was created!
Foodie Wagons
Incorporate your family's love of food into your Halloween wagon costume.
8. In-N-Out Drive Through
@mollyandbruce
“I got one double-double animal style, please pull up to the window, sir.”
This In-N-Out fast food drive thru is on the easier side when it comes to construction. One jumbo box is spray painted white and plopped right on top of the wagon.
Cut out the service window, print a few menus and you’re ready to take orders.
9. Ice Cream Truck
@sem_greenwood
“One scoop or two?”
A lot of love went into the design on this colorful ice cream truck themed stroller wagon. The white paint and tape used here makes the hand-drawn artistry really pop. Halloween is all about the sweets, right?
10. Food Truck
@stay.on.target
“Who ordered the mac-n’-cheese bowl?”
An expert-level technician took their time to create this miniature replica of Cookie Monster’s Foodie Truck, and me loooove!
Movie and Television Inspired Wagons
Perhaps some of the funniest on the list, bring your child’s (or their parent’s) favorite movie characters to life with these brilliant movie and TV-inspired Halloween wagon costumes.
11. Home Alone
@leahhouck
“We know you’re in there, and that you're all alone.”
Recreating The Wet Bandits signature van from Home Alone, along with Harry and Marv no less, is no easy task. The high level of difficulty to pull this off comes along with a high level of cuteness. If you're a fan of the movie, you’ve got to love this one!
12. Scooby Doo
@kayrutz
“And I would have gotten away with it too, if it weren’t for you meddling kids!”
Scooby Doo’s Mystery Machine helps Scoobs get around in style. Stenciling out the words and flowers on this groovy van definitely took the creator some time, but well worth the effort.
13. Jurassic Park
@lovebrandes
“Welcome…to Jurassic Park.”
A little black string and PVC tubing is used to create the electric fencing, keeping these vicious dinos from escaping.
The red cardboard exterior of the wagon may be easy to replicate, but keeping the string taut and attaching the high voltage signs might be the trickiest part of engineering your own Jurassic Park-themed Halloween wagon.
14. Power Ranger Dino Charge T-Rex
@samantha._.burke
Power Ranger Dino Charge T-Rex!
In lieu of covering the stroller wagon in material, this family created artwork that pops out of the Cruiser itself—turning the wagon into a Power Ranger Dinosaur.
15. Bat Jett
@mj_wanderlove
“To the Batmobile!”
The creator of this sleek wagon costume uses our Foldable Storage Basket to give a bit more length to the front end of Batman’s cruiser. The black color, along with the hint of yellow make the Batmobile blend seamlessly with the wheels and handle of the Veer All-Terrain Cruiser.
16. Ghostbusters
@ames0513
“Who ya gonna call?”
No ghosts or goblins are getting by this Ghostbuster! Lots of white tape, and some interesting props help complete this fairly complex Ectomobile. The push light on top provides extra flair that will stand out once the sun sets.
17. Dumb and Dumber
@alicia.rood
“I bet ya 20 bucks I can get you gambling before the end of the day!”
Harry and Lloyd in the Dumb and Dumber Mutt Cutts Van took a high level of skill and creativity! The exterior of the wagon is draped with carpet, expertly cut and sewn together.
Cardboard legs and ears covered in the same fabric, along with a pair of flashy tuxedos complete this hysterical Halloween wagon costume.
18. Back to the Future
@nachopup
“Roads? Where we’re going, we don’t need roads.”
A final idea for the designer looking for a real challenge this Halloween. The DeLorean time machine from Back to the Future is tricky to pull off, but iconic if done right. Recreating the grill of the car as well as the back boosters are key, along with a lot of gray duct tape.
A red vest for Marty, and a white wig with goggles for Doc and you’ve got yourself one incredible wagon costume.
Reflections
The perfect Halloween wagon costume awaits! We hope you got some great ideas from this collection and we can’t wait to see what you come up with this year.
Bringing your stroller wagon out while you trick-or-treat makes so much sense. A place to rest those tired legs and, perhaps as the spooky fun mellows down, a place to nod off to sleep. (Consider our Nap System to turn your wagon into an oversized bassinet.)
The wagon also affords additional space and storage for extra layers of clothes and all those essentials that make trekking around the neighborhood an enjoyable experience for the whole family.
Whether you're spending hours creating the perfect costume, or just have an old box that fits perfectly on top of your ride, there are endless Halloween wagon costumes you can come up with. Recreate one from this selection, or come up with something fresh and new and be sure to tag us @veergear.
Safe strolling this Halloween and keep on Cruising in style!
