Halloween is coming to town: Adorable photos show disabled children using their chairs to bring a little bit of Hollywood to the scary season

Wheelchair-bound Carter might not be able to mount a broomstick, but he can certainly drive an ice-cream truck, as proven by his latest Halloween outfit.
His is among a series of inspiring photographs which capture parental love for a child in a way that will have you wishing it was your dad behind the camera.
As mothers and fathers neared fist-fights in department stores for this year's must-have seasonal costumes, the more creative of parents got to work, demonstrating that homegrown often really is best.
The original and the best: Complete with a multi-coloured awning, window display of cone options, and a board advertising the menu, Carter uses the wheels of his chair to propel himself along in this magnificently crafted costume

The mums and dads behind these photos have been embracing their children's disabilities to create the perfect outfit such as little Carter's ice cream truck.
Carter has spina bifida and is wheelchair-bound. But like any young American boy, Halloween features high on his social calendar.
 

His costume encompasses his chair, making him the driver of 'Buster's ice cream truck'.

And of course he himself is dressed the part, wearing a flat-cap chef's hat and crisp white uniform - he'll soon have the local kids running!
Carter's photo was the first to be published in what has become an internet sensation of accessible (and amazing) Halloween costumes.
'Best. Dad. Ever. I shed a tear for this one,' one Reddit user commented.
'Not only will he be going trick-or-treating, but his costume is way cooler than what the other kids will have. Win on the dad's part,' said another.
Since the photo of Carter went live last October, other parents have followed suit, decorating their children in an array of creative costumes.

From Fireman to Batman, to Super Mario, these kids have the wheels to pull off some pretty special designs.
One youngster, dressed as Darth Vader, used the sides of his chair to create Dark-Lord shields around himself as he wielded a red light-saver.
Another had his chair transformed into a DJ deck to fulfill his dream as a music maker.
Other highlights included a girl in a pirate ship, another driving a Flintstones-style chair, and one dress as Pee-wee Herman.

Then of course there is the child dressed as Snoopy, set up atop a dog kennel and another built into one of Disney's 'Cars' vehicles. 
And the spate of creativity shows no signs of drawing to a close, as proven by one child who rocked up in a 'manic Christmas pudding' outfit.
Perhaps the best is yet to come.
