I certainly didn't, and I have to admit - when we've visited fireworks displays and fairs in the past, I haven't always used ear protection for the children. Reading the above statistic makes me realise that I could have done damage to their hearing without even realising, which I'm sure you'll agree is a scary thought.
Last Bonfire night, my eldest told me himself that he didn't like the loud noises at firework displays and asked if he could have some ear defenders - I purchased some for him and Noah, but I couldn't find them to fit our youngest baby and none of the ones I tried were easy to keep on him.
Since then, I've discovered the Alpine Muffy Baby ear muffs - they are designed with young children in mind and use a headband that is both comfortable and easy to adjust, but also secure enough to stay on your baby too. Each pack also comes with a Protect & Go storage bag to keep them clean and hygienic too.
Muffy Baby ear muffs are suitable for children aged 3 months - 36 months, and are easily adjustable to enable them to grow with your child giving you maximum value for money. They're comfortable and don't put pressure onto the head, contain no metal parts and are the only safe CE-certified baby ear muff in Europe.
With festival season approaching, Muffy Baby earmuffs could be an invaluable purchase to protect your little ones hearing leaving you to enjoy the show without having to worry.
