anyone have any sources in or near Cleveland where I could buy a kid's firefighter hat, preferably with an adjustable strap? I haven't seen anything in dept stores or drug stores and we are making the rest of his outfit. I don't want to buy online unless I have to, the shipping is too expensive.

Have you tried any thrift/2nd hand stores?  Call your local fire department they maybe able to advise.

Because fire departments get their helmets at thrift/2nd hand stores?

No they get lots of requests from people asking about uniforms.  They could/should be able to give RnR guidance as to where she may be able to find a hat for the baby.

I was kidding......

 

Hey RNR make sure you try Party City and the other party stores.  I beleive there is still one at Southland. 

 

On the website they show this.... 

I have to think that one or more of the pop up Halloween stores that are starting to show up will have something that fits.

RnR the Party City may have it, but also consider Value World across the street from southland.  The wife said they had halloween stuff last year.

Thanks all. I ended up ordering one online because I had to order yellow duct tape (nobody seems to sell it and it's part of us making his outfit) so I just threw in a hat to get up to free shipping.

 

Now, if only he had a place to ToT besides at my work. I'm considering taking him to my Mom's neighborhood in lakewood but feel like everyone would be like WTF, whose kid is that, we've never seen him before and think we were halloween moochers or something.

I lived in an area that wasn't condusive to trick-or-treating until I was 9 and went to other neighborhoods instead a few times...never had any problems or knew of anyone who cared one way or the other.

^^ You've obviously never trick or treated in Lakewood..Nobody will notice. Especially if you say that your mom lives on the street. Also he's little, the houses are close together so you won't have to walk that far before he grows tired  of doing it and wants to go back. Added bonus, Lakewood actually still ToT on Halloween night.

Trust me, no one will notice, or care. We have folks come into my development from all over because our neighborhood is more trick or treat friendly. We actually enjoy having everyone there. Makes the night more fun.

was gonna say, try the Fire Museum on Carnegie---they may have a gift shop or something.
