The statues are of Jizo, the most beloved Buddhist deity in Japan (And with many American Buddhist, too) He is the Bodhisattva (patron saint, in American lingo)and protector of women, babies, children and travelers in the earthly and spiritual realms.
In Japan, it is not unusual to see these little memorial statues dressed with baby hats and bibs.
