Rubies Giddy-Up Pony Costume for Babies (Unisex) 6-12 Months
Product description
What it is and why parents pick it
Rubies’ Giddy-Up Pony Costume for Babies is a baby costume built around an all-in-one character look. Over the top? Not really—on most little ones it reads playful and “ready to go” right away, which is exactly what you want for Halloween, theme parties, or a quick festival moment.
The outfit is designed to be worn as a set: a jumpsuit plus the matching character headpiece and booties. Depending on how you style it, it can feel like a full costume from head to toe without needing extra layers of accessories you might otherwise have to hunt for.
The essentials: what’s included
You don’t just get the main piece. This costume set includes the jumpsuit, a character headpiece, and booties. There’s also an attached decorative bandana and hand covers included as part of the overall look.
One detail worth calling out is the inclusion of non-slip booties. That’s the kind of feature that can help if your baby is moving around more than they’re posing—still, keep expectations realistic for the youngest age range, where traction depends on the surface and how your baby is walking.
The fabric is listed as 100% polyester, which is a common choice for costumes because it’s light, durable for events, and generally easy to handle for short-term wear.
Key takeaways for buying decisions
This is a character costume for babies in size 6-12 months, and the fit note is important: costumes run smaller than apparel. So even if your baby falls in the middle of a typical age/size range, you’ll want to double-check sizing carefully using the drop-down size chart.
The good news: the full set approach reduces guesswork. You’re not assembling mismatched pieces. The downside: because it’s a complete costume package, it may feel like “more outfit than necessary” if you’re only looking for a simple photo prop or a quick Halloween bowtie-style look.
It also helps to accept that costumes like this are more about the moment than everyday comfort. If your baby is sensitive to headpieces or layered sleeves/hand covers, this may not be the easiest choice for long wear.
Best use cases (and a quick real-life scenario)
Where this costume tends to make sense is when you need a complete themed outfit for an event. Think: Halloween, a pony-themed birthday, a festival day with pictures planned, or cosplay-style gatherings where families dress up together.
Example micro-scenario: imagine a fall party. You put on the jumpsuit, add the headpiece, then pull the booties on. For a quick photo, the full “pony” silhouette shows up instantly, which helps when you’re trying to catch a smile before the attention span moves on.
Limitations to keep in mind before you buy
Two things to keep expectations grounded. First, the brand notes that costumes run smaller than regular apparel—so sizing can be the difference between “perfect” and “a bit snug.” Second, costumes for babies include more pieces than a simple onesie, so if your priority is maximum comfort and minimal fuss, you may find this style is better for short windows of wear.

Is it worth it?
It’s a smart buy if you want a ready-to-wear pony character look for a baby-sized event and you prefer costumes that include the main outfit plus coordinating headpiece and booties. Worth considering if your plan includes photos and themed fun—Halloween, parties, festivals, or cosplay moments—where a complete look matters.
However, it may not be the best match if you’re trying to keep things ultra-simple for everyday comfort or if your baby typically dislikes headpieces and additional covered accessories. Also, don’t assume sizing will match standard clothing, costumes run smaller, so it’s worth taking the time to check the drop-down size chart first.
