It wasn't a big arena style concert and would have been lawn seats. I think it depends on the venue, and what I anticipated the audience would be like, but I think I would take S this year for sure if the opportunity arose. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-is-the-earliest-age-you-would-take-lo-to-an-outdoor-concert#post-1529996 Fri, 28 Mar 2014 14:09:06 +0000 rachiecakes 1529996@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@meganmp: coolest mom ever! walling you :) </p> <p>J has gone to a million shows, DH works in the industry, so he's met a lot of our musical friends.

He danced the whole time. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-is-the-earliest-age-you-would-take-lo-to-an-outdoor-concert#post-1528883 Fri, 28 Mar 2014 09:24:33 +0000 dagret 1528883@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@rahlyrah: We took L to the Firefly Festival (one day only though) when he was 5 months old. He loved it. Ear protection is key!<br /> I thought it was so easy. He'll be 17 m this year and I think it will be a lot more difficult. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-is-the-earliest-age-you-would-take-lo-to-an-outdoor-concert#post-1528845 Fri, 28 Mar 2014 09:16:34 +0000 Greentea 1528845@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@meganmp: :grin: omg!

It is not a kid band but part of a kid series of concerts free at our art center downtown so I am excited! I am a musician and both of my parents are as well so we love music! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-is-the-earliest-age-you-would-take-lo-to-an-outdoor-concert#post-1528731 Fri, 28 Mar 2014 08:50:07 +0000 Greentea 1528731@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I would at any age as long as the weather was nice! We have free outdoor concerts here every week and it is ALL filled with babies and kids! We actually left because kids were throwing sand on us and we felt super awkward without kids... this was years ago. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-is-the-earliest-age-you-would-take-lo-to-an-outdoor-concert#post-1528673 Fri, 28 Mar 2014 08:30:36 +0000 Ra 1528673@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I watched a documentary this week about a boy with progeria and his dad took him to DMB concerts (among others) every year as their "thing." I thought it was such a cool tradition. B and I listen to a lot of Jack Johnson and I think he would have a fairly kid-friendly concert. I'd like to start a similar tradition with B :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-is-the-earliest-age-you-would-take-lo-to-an-outdoor-concert#post-1528659 Fri, 28 Mar 2014 08:27:34 +0000 Smurfette 1528659@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@rahlyrah: Yes but we would be chasing after her the whole time. Lawn seats are always so crowded. I just wouldn't feel comfortable with it.<br /> Plus it sounds more fun as a date night so I can drink instead of chasing after R! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-is-the-earliest-age-you-would-take-lo-to-an-outdoor-concert#post-1528647 Fri, 28 Mar 2014 08:25:44 +0000 Ra 1528647@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Smurfette: Lawn "seats" is just a blanket on the grass so she wouldn't have to sit still :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-is-the-earliest-age-you-would-take-lo-to-an-outdoor-concert#post-1528632 Fri, 28 Mar 2014 08:22:17 +0000 LuLu Mom 1528632@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I think it would depend, a day concert we would probably take her now at 18 months old, but an evening concert not until she's older. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-is-the-earliest-age-you-would-take-lo-to-an-outdoor-concert#post-1528624 Fri, 28 Mar 2014 08:20:37 +0000 winniebee 1528624@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We went to Austin city limits when T was 17 months!
