My LO is almost 5 and she hasn't been yet. Maybe if there was something she really wanted to see but so far there hasn't been anything!

I was thinking we would go when she is 5? I don't think she knows what a movie is yet! She is 3 now.

I've been throwing around the idea to take her soon, she is almost three and a half. I think she would behave well, but I feel like she would lose interest and not be able to sit through the whole thing.

While I was on maternity leave I took LO to two movies! They had a Bring Your Baby Matinee and the local movie theater. It was great.

I go to the movies with two other bees and their babies fairly regularly. We go to the mommy showings. Love it!

We just took my 2.5 year old to see Despicable Me 2 and it went great! He loved it and he was very good.

I took my daughter to a movie as a tiny baby, and she was great. Just nursed, napped, and looked around. But no way in hell would I take her now at 22 months. Maybe in another year or two - or maybe to a mommy and me matinee, now that I think about it.

Ellie went to see Pooh when she was four as a special treat when we were camping and there was a very rainy (and hail-stormy) day. She has not been since then. She had a good time and was on her best behavior, there just aren't very many movies that seem worth taking her to.

I wish DS was old enough to go to the movies! I want to see Despicable Me 2 so bad! We'll probably wait until he's 4 or 5.

DD is 3 right now, and we're thinking we'll wait at least another year. I just don't think she's ready quite yet.

DS1 was 3. His grandpa took him and he did great. Just needed to pee a lot lol. We took both our boys to the drive in last month, DS1 was almost 4 and DS2 was 17 months. They both did so good. I was surprised but DS2 actually sat on my lap for the whole movie!

We took my 2 year old to Monsters University and Despicable Me 2 this summer. He loved it! And was so good. He sat in his seat and ate his popcorn through most of both movies. Only got scared once.

I am dying to bring my son to see Planes when it comes out, but I don't know how he'd handle the noise.

I took him when he was 4 months so mommy could watch les mis. He nursed & slept pretty much all of it!!

We went this week. She's 22 months. We went to see Despicable Me 2. We only went because some parents gave me gift cards at the end of the year, so if she didn't watch it, I didn't waste MY money.LOL
She watched it though. We went at 10am on a Tuesday, so we had it practically to ourselves.
