What's in the Box

• All In One
• Eyemask

This Kids Bad Dad Book Character Costume brings the getaway-driving bank robber from David Walliams' hilarious book right to your Book Week parade. Sky blue racing suit with black-and-white checkered flag stripes across the chest, sleeves, and down the legs — plus the gold 'BAD DAD 1' emblem and that brilliant 'World's Worst Driver' badge front and centre.

Made from lightweight polyester with quilted padding detail on the arms and lower legs for that authentic racing suit look. The all-in-one jumpsuit zips up the back for easy on-off, and the simple black eyemask completes the getaway driver disguise. Comfortable enough for a full day at school without overheating.

Perfect For

Book Week & David Walliams Day: A spot-on choice for Bad Dad fans, World Book Day character parades, or any David Walliams author study dress-up event at school.

Literary Costume Days: Works beautifully for storybook character dress-up, library week celebrations, or themed kindy and primary school book character days.

Birthday Parties & Dress-Up Play: Great for Walliams-themed birthday parties, racing car play at home, or just everyday dress-up fun in the costume box.

How to Wear It

Pair with comfortable sneakers (white or black work best) and you're set. The eyemask sits comfortably over glasses if your child wears them. No extra props needed — the badge and text say it all.

Parent FAQs

What size should I order?

Check the size chart image for chest and height measurements. The jumpsuit runs true to size with a bit of room for layering a t-shirt underneath if it's a cooler morning.

Can they wear this over regular clothes?

The jumpsuit is designed to be worn over underwear or a thin t-shirt and leggings. It's not bulky, so it works well for indoor classroom wear without overheating.

How do I wash this?

Hand wash in cold water or gentle machine cycle, then line dry. The embroidered details and badge hold up well — just avoid high heat to keep the colours bright.

Will other kids recognise the character?

Absolutely — Bad Dad is hugely popular in Australian primary schools, and the 'World's Worst Driver' badge is an instant giveaway for any Walliams fan. Teachers love seeing book characters they know.

Care: Hand wash cold, line dry. No tumble drying.
