The head piece was far too large but it worked because you can attach the strap wherever you need to with the scratchy side of the velcro, then tuck the soft end under and out of the way. It looked great, just like the toddler picture (the kid who is standing up)and it didn't come undone all night.
The robe, however, was HUGE! He was absolutely swimming in it but it was okay because he isn't walking yet. I cut 3-4 inches off the sleeves and his arms still didn't stick out. It did not fray where I cut it because it's made of a cheap synthetic fabric. There is a brown vest type thing which is attached to the robe that you pull over the baby's head.
Overall, if you have a baby with a big head, go with this larger size and make some adjustments rather than risk getting a head piece that's too small.
Everyone thought he was adorable and it'll work next year if we want to dress him up as Yoda again. : ) We purchased this costume for our 14 month old son and it was a big hit. The costume was comfortable for him to wear and it was easy to bundle him up underneath the robe and keep him warm while trick-or-treating. The one potential down side to this costume is the size of the head piece. Our son had an average sized head for a 14 month old yet the snap at the chin that was a bit snug. When we tried to use the costume again with our next child, who was just 8 months old (and about 18 lbs.), I couldn't get the head piece to snap without pinching his chin. This costume is supposed to fit children up to 18 months old but the head piece may be too small for some children in this age group. I suggest buying the costume well in advance in case you need to return it for the next size up. The costume is adorable and is worth the extra effort. *Note: The robe was cream colorednot brown like it appears in some photos.Love the costume, but the head piece was a little tight. It was like I got the toddler size costume, but an infant sized headpiece.
