depends on the child – my son was five and it was a disaster

My girls are 8 & 7 and I have to consider what we see carefully as they often get scared. Louder sounds and bigger picture.

I guess it all depends on how well behaved a child is and what there attention span is.

My girls are 2 – I dont think they would make it past the intro. They are too busy to sit and watch an episode of Dora, let alone a full movie. But all kids are different. I agree witht he other mums though, put on a DVD at home, if they can sit through that, the movies should be fine!

Hi, I think it depends on your child. I took my 3 year old for the 1st time this year, she sat on my lap the whole time but was really good and watched the whole movie.

The other moms have given great advice as usual. Also if it is a movie that is not quite age appropriate for her eg you are talking an older sibling to a movie and taking her along as well, please think of other patrons if she becomes bored or play up.

  oopps so sorry: should read taking.

My friend has taken her 3 year old to the cinema and she said she was really good till about 20 minutes before the movie finished.
I havent taken my son as he hate loud nosies so no chance of the movies for me.

If she is good watching tv, dvd’s etc I think she will be fine to watch a lovely animated movie at this age

Take notice if she can sit through a movie or DVD and if she can that she should be right to take to the movies. My Grandson has been going since he was 2 and there was not dramas at all

If she can sit through a DVD then I think she’ll be fine
