we brought our 10 month old little guy with us, and we all had a great time. The main thing you have to do if you bring kids to an event like this is to keep them on their schedule. He ate at the same time, took his naps at his usual time, and went to bed on time. We kept him well hydrated, kept him in the shade, and of course ear protection. Obviously, we had to make some sacrifices and miss some bands in order to keep the baby happy, but thats the price you pay. It really made me mad seeing kids with no shoes on, baking in the hot sun. And everyone around us was very respectful...I would politely ask that they not smoke (cigarettes or other things) near the baby carriage, and everyone happily obliged. Overall, it was a great experience for the baby and for us.

Cute kid, looks like he's having a blast. Overall I think the vast majority of kids I saw at Roo were paired with some very responsible parents. Whenever I saw parents with kids nearby at shows I always said at the beginning that I am likely to smoke (didn't say what, just left it at that) during the show and asked if they'd prefer that I move away from their child. Most parents were so happy just to hear someone ask that they said it wouldn't be a problem if I stood a few feet away from the kids when smoking and obviously didn't blow any smoke in that direction. I think parents at Roo deserve some major props for making the sacrifices demanded by responsible parenting at the Roo. I'm sure it takes a lot out of them, but it must be great to be able to share the experience with your entire family rather than just hiring a baby sitter.

Yeah, all that can really be said is that some parents are irresponsible and some aren't. That's anywhere you go.
But the ones that will go all the way and make the sacrifices most definately deserve respect. If you see someone doing something horribly wrong, just politely suggest different.
