What's everyone's opinion on bringing a 3 year old to monster trucks?

I shake my head at this the same way I did when I went to see Snoop Dogg and the family next to me had their pre-teens with them (there was a tonne of weed smoke).
I don't have a problem with it from my own personal experience of taking my kid when he was 4 years old. It was a family friendly event, lots of parents with kids, nothing rowdy at all, this was 7 years ago. It was loud but not stupid loud, son had ear protection and didn't whine. YMMV of course.

It was a family event when I went a decade or so ago, but it was stupidly loud indoors even with ear plugs.

Recently got an iPad for my son as his Amazon Fire 7 Kids just wasn't cutting it anymore. Since no one at home is an Apple user the kids account thing became a bit of challenge as there was no way to administer it (I am looking at getting the MacBook Neo for that)

In the meantime, I've setup NextDNS to filter out ads and unsavoury websites. Seems to be somewhat legit and we don't really have anything to steal. Quick check it does seem to work and it can enforce safe search and filtering, and will allow you to block Social Media, porn, etc etc. It also features a parental lock so the kids can't purposely or accidentally disable it. For the time being it'll do. It's free and allows 300k requests a month which should be sufficient.

One alternative for parents who have kids and are allowing them to use connected devices is CIRA's free family-oriented DNS servers which are free. My caveat is that I have not tested it so I don't know what its capabilities are. My suspicion is that it may not filter out social media sites, but I could be wrong.

It appears they have iOS and Android-specific apps to be downloaded on a per-device basis to maintain your control. Use at your own discretion and risk.

I bought a Chromebook Duet (tablet + keyboard) and I'm able to lock it down to the individual website(s) that my daughter can visit. Actually, it notifies me for approval for each new website or new app and blocks it by default. I currently have google search disabled so she can only visit the education websites that her teacher sent her for reading/math.

I'm guessing iPad may have similar functionality, but Chromebooks can be had for cheap and we have multiple profiles set up so that the Duet is my primary device when we travel since it uses a desktop browser instead of a mobile/tablet one, and is way smaller than a laptop to carry.

[EDIT]This one when it was on sale for $349 https://www.bestbuy.ca/en-ca/product...b-ram/19182250
