I think it's pretty obvious that this duck costume is cuter.
It fits better, as in Corbin's head is in the right place. It is fuzzier, and his legs really look like duck legs. Rachel has also made a magnet and thought of a theme for the costume, "chick magnet". She also bought the costume before Corbin was even born, showing foresight previously unheard of.
Charles' outfit is more like a "duck-blanket". Is he really a duck? I don't know, it just isn't very convincing.
Now, I personally think this raised the larger issue of whether Alice is a good parent. Yes, Alice, you are a better mother than Rachel. She might buy better duck outfits, sew personalized outfits for her children, use earth-friendly diapers, and teach her kids sign language, but that does not mean that she is a better mother.
You are much better.
Charles is cuter, smarter, and better at the piano. And most importantly, he has a much cooler Aunt. There is no comparison in that department.
Hilary versus Eden, Laura, and Emma? Please, make it a competition!

I vote for Charles's costume for these reasons:
it is a brighter yellow - more vibrant - and has a variety of texture (different materials)
it only has one face - Corbin's outfit has two heads (two sets of eyes etc) - here Charles's head is the duck head
It is a "blanket sack" costume design - many baby outfits have no legs - they are like a big sack for the baby. This keeps them warm - that was the design of this costume.
Its hard to see but the feet on Charles's costume are extremely cute - big duck feet. Its cute because obviously his own feet aren't that big.
He has a matching duck sidekick (the stuffed animal)
To call anyone a chick magnet who is under one is weird. And how is Corbin meant to carry that magnet around? He obviously couldn't so its only a joke by having the parents constantly tell everyone what he is. And then everybody would feel obliged to laugh and say what a great idea it was - even if they didn't feel that way. With Charles they didn't have to say anything unless they wanted to - it was obvious what he was.
I'm clearly biased, but thats my vote.
As a side issue I'm not worried about being a better mother than Rachel. Clearly we are going to be different parents. So please don't worry about me comparing myself to her (for good or bad) - I honestly haven't given it any thought. Really. I promise.
OK, you do have a good point about the joke being extremely dumb and invented by Juan obviously.
