Using this bear costume is super easy. Just put on the jumpsuit and pull up the hood with the bear ears. It's great for wearing to fancy dress parties, Halloween, or just having fun at home. When it comes to maintenance, you can machine - wash it in cold water on a gentle cycle. Make sure to air - dry it to keep the fabric soft. As for safety, always check the costume for any loose parts before your child wears it, especially the bear ears on the hood. Keep small children supervised while they're wearing the costume to avoid any choking hazards. Have a roaring good time!
