Both cried hysterically until we went in the lodge. Will be skipping fireworks for awhile! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/at-what-age-did-you-start-taking-your-lo-to-see-fireworks#post-1734241 Tue, 01 Jul 2014 12:41:13 +0000 pui 1734241@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I don't know. I know I didn't like fireworks until I was around 5. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/at-what-age-did-you-start-taking-your-lo-to-see-fireworks#post-1734219 Tue, 01 Jul 2014 12:34:11 +0000 sarac 1734219@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We've gone each year of her life. Some things are worth staying up late for. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/at-what-age-did-you-start-taking-your-lo-to-see-fireworks#post-1734190 Tue, 01 Jul 2014 12:24:13 +0000 Bookish 1734190@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Haven't decided if we will take her yet. Her bday *is* July 4th (and she'll be 1 this year), so I figure in the future it will be a very big part of her bday, but since we are doing a big party at lunch, I'm not sure she will be up for it. We might just load her in the car and watch from a parking lot somewhere. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/at-what-age-did-you-start-taking-your-lo-to-see-fireworks#post-1734173 Tue, 01 Jul 2014 12:18:51 +0000 Weagle 1734173@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>This year will be her first year, and she's two. It's not that we've particularly tried to keep her from it, we just haven't made it a part of our plans since she's been around. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/at-what-age-did-you-start-taking-your-lo-to-see-fireworks#post-1734170 Tue, 01 Jul 2014 12:18:02 +0000 GrapeCrush 1734170@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@MUI831: he just sat on my husbands lap, amazed by them. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/at-what-age-did-you-start-taking-your-lo-to-see-fireworks#post-1734128 Tue, 01 Jul 2014 12:05:42 +0000 MrsMccarthy 1734128@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We did some little street fireworks last year when he was 10 months. This year at 22 months we will probably see some big guys! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/at-what-age-did-you-start-taking-your-lo-to-see-fireworks#post-1734083 Tue, 01 Jul 2014 11:49:18 +0000 yellowbird 1734083@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>This year at 22 months! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/at-what-age-did-you-start-taking-your-lo-to-see-fireworks#post-1734079 Tue, 01 Jul 2014 11:48:09 +0000 jetsa 1734079@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@grizz: we're trying this year too. Headphones might be a very good idea though, I didn't even think about it! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/at-what-age-did-you-start-taking-your-lo-to-see-fireworks#post-1734075 Tue, 01 Jul 2014 11:45:59 +0000 Mommy Finger 1734075@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@GrapeCrush: How did he do at 14 months?</p> <p>DS is 19 months so I wouldn't normally take him as it's super past his bedtime. But, the 4th is one of my favorite holidays and this is going to be the last one we spend at my grandparent's house as my grandma will probably sell and move to a home soon. I would love for him to have one 4th there. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/at-what-age-did-you-start-taking-your-lo-to-see-fireworks#post-1733973 Tue, 01 Jul 2014 11:01:59 +0000 ShootingStar 1733973@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>DS will be 8 months this year and I don't think it would be a good idea. When he was littler he would've just slept through it. But now I think it'll scare him and mess with his bed time. Plus we'll be at my parents' this year, and the fireworks in my hometown are just way more effort than I feel like making - have to get there super early and it takes forever to get out because traffic is a nightmare. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/at-what-age-did-you-start-taking-your-lo-to-see-fireworks#post-1733957 Tue, 01 Jul 2014 10:57:28 +0000 GrapeCrush 1733957@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We took DS last year and he was 14 months old. We aren't sure if we are going to this year, but if we do they will be 2 and 11 months. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/at-what-age-did-you-start-taking-your-lo-to-see-fireworks#post-1733931 Tue, 01 Jul 2014 10:43:39 +0000 Mrs. Yoyo 1733931@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I will take DS this year. He just turned 3. We can see some from our neighborhood park so it will be low-key. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/at-what-age-did-you-start-taking-your-lo-to-see-fireworks#post-1733917 Tue, 01 Jul 2014 10:36:17 +0000 Smurfette 1733917@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Probably won't till she is 4 or 5. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/at-what-age-did-you-start-taking-your-lo-to-see-fireworks#post-1733916 Tue, 01 Jul 2014 10:35:49 +0000 LovelyPlum 1733916@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>She will be 12 weeks old :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/at-what-age-did-you-start-taking-your-lo-to-see-fireworks#post-1733913 Tue, 01 Jul 2014 10:35:16 +0000 Mamaof2 1733913@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Ok well I am the oddball - its way past my kids bedtime so they have never been but I am keeping up DS this year - he is 5.5 -it will be his 1st time and he is so excited! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/at-what-age-did-you-start-taking-your-lo-to-see-fireworks#post-1733910 Tue, 01 Jul 2014 10:32:53 +0000 Mrs. Cheesecake 1733910@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>LO was 3 months old when we brought him last year. We just stayed really far from the fireworks so the noise wouldn't bother him, but he ended up just falling asleep during the show! We plan on bringing him again this year. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/at-what-age-did-you-start-taking-your-lo-to-see-fireworks#post-1733872 Tue, 01 Jul 2014 10:18:40 +0000 yoursilverlining 1733872@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>LO was born June 8th and we took her to a (relaxed, not crazy) 4th of July party that year (so, almost 1 month old). </p> <p>We also went to a 4th of July party last year where the fireworks were a lot closer and bigger...both times I wore her and she just fell asleep and slept right through the fireworks! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/at-what-age-did-you-start-taking-your-lo-to-see-fireworks#post-1733864 Tue, 01 Jul 2014 10:16:32 +0000 Boheme 1733864@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We have some noise canceling headphones for him, so we might try this year?

DH and I are not planning on seeing fireworks this year and he says we are just enjoying our time without kids and not having to deal with July 4th traffic. But I'm wondering what age do people start taking their LO to see fireworks? </p>
