Because the only reason for exclusion of children is the possibility of a rug-rat getting loose, wandering into the infrastructure, and being injured (or causing damage, or both). Not gonna happen with a "babe in arms".
The rule needs to be re-written to reflect today's realities.
ORrrrrrrrr...maybe people need to go back to yesterdays decorum.
I guarantee people would bring 8 yr olds in strollers and babe sin arms who would just need a little toddling exercise in the midst if the crowd to stop the whining
Not to mention someone holding a true babe in arms. soft spot and all, and being jostled or knocked down in a huge adult trade show crowd
and then, there is the diaper- changing, another beautiful natural act some people choose to share in public
On tables, on floors, on chairs- and the trash cans (if they use them)- eeewwww
spoken as one who does MANY NO CHILDREN events and has barred a few indignant violators
There are plenty of other reasons to ban kids. Even a little arm bundle has the ability to start screaming and interrupt the show. Not to mention the show is probably pretty noisy and not too good on infant ears. And arm bundles don’t travel well without a lot of baggage, so that mom is taking up a lot more floor space than other attendees. They made their rules for their reasons, there’s nothing wrong with them sticking to them.
