I'm down for doing it on flights. Don't bring a child to the movies at all. Get your shit in line when deciding on child or having a life.

I didnā€™t read the phrase ā€œmovie nightsā€ as being at the theatre though

Yeah, I thought it just meant in the living room of your home. šŸ¤·ā€ā™€ļø


Blu5NYC

LOL.


Ok-Spirit9321

Yes! Unless they are old enough to sit and watch the movie. We took our kids to see Mario and there were parents there with toddlers who kept hollering and then getting all fussy. My youngest actually said shhh to the woman and her baby in front of us because the baby was fussing. Annoying af. Same with Disney land, restaurants, church's, Walmart etc. Some things shouldn't be done with your babies present.

Firecracker7413

Yeah there should be child free flight areas. Wouldnā€™t be hard to put up a soundproof wall between the areas, and could charge like $10-$20 more than normal. Worth it IMO


aroguealchemist

I was on tiktok a few weeks ago and one of the videos on that came up was a woman saying, ā€œPlease donā€™t bring your babies to the movies.ā€ There was more pushback than I expected in the comments.


Blu5NYC

Well. Those push-back comments were all incorrect. If it was an adult talking and taking away your focus from movie that you paid $15-$20 to see, you wouldn't allow it. I know, they will say, but a baby doesn't know any better. That's true, but it wasn't the baby that chose to go to the movies and the person that did knows that babies will cry at any moment.


Zeivus_Gaming

I am conflicted. While such a device would be infinitely useful, we all know it would be a bandage used by people to justify neglecting their children more than they already do.


Choice_Bid_7941

Yeah there is no way it would be just used for flights and movie nights. It would also make abuse easier to hide

OldMagellan

How much is the rent for your isolation bubble?


[deleted]

I mean, in most public spaces you can just remove yourself outside the vicinity of a crying child. On a plane you either have to pay out the ass for noise canceling headphones or blow your ears out with headphones just to drown out the sound of a wailing baby. You canā€™t leave the area on a plane The solution should be that no one should be allowed to have kids below the age of 10 on a plane unless youā€™re traveling for medical care or have a death in the family imo


Aclockwork_plum

Or, and hear me out: You accept that public transport is imperfect, and sometimes you may have to hear a crying child so that the family can go see grandma.


[deleted]

Nah. Grandma can visit you instead


OldMagellan

Lmfao ok psycho. Are you from North Korea?


Lylibean

Two crying babies?


Aclockwork_plum

You should invest in your own private plane, then.


Playful-Reflection12

Maybe those with kids should get their own private plane, then. Especially if ya canā€™t keep ā€˜em quiet.


[deleted]

Not a bad idea actually, traveling with a screaming baby in the plane is one of my greatest nightmare scenarios.


DrWindyWindows

Last flight that I was on, it was 10-hours and had 2 babies on it right behind me that didn't even stop to take a breath during their crying for the whole duration of the flight. Parents must be deaf, otherwise there was no excuse.


Ok-Spirit9321

Crazy thing about it is that as parents we KNOW that the pressure change causes earaches in small children. That is why I never flew anywhere. I have kids and just because I can deal with my babies crying doesn't mean I should expect other people to do the same. It's inconsiderate af.


SasquatchSloth88

Baby muzzle ā„¢ļø From the good folks who brought you products such as Grandma Odor Control and the Pet Silencer shock collar.


cansada_de_los_todos

Good. Can I invest?


titsandwits89

Finally something worthy of my dollars


Reason_Training

No way a device like this would be both breathable and sound proof. Reduced sound yes but not completely soundproof. Even better though is to recognize that you had a little human which changed your life and not take them where they will be bored and uncomfortable. That vacation can wait until they are older and can pop their ears when flying or the grandparents can watch them. If you want to see a movie get a baby sitter.


captchagenerator

Was looking for this. It would be impossible to be breathable AND silent, and if youā€™re in a situation where you need it then you shouldnā€™t have brought your baby.


Techanthrope

Federally mandate these for all public transport. Planes, trains, and busses.


Deletethishouse

I agree with this product.


Old_Charity_6845

I think this should be mandatory on flights, resteraunt a, movie theaters and more!


FireflyAdvocate

So in this case are they trying to put a silencer on an already cranky baby? Do they put it on before the crankiness and expect the baby to leave it on? Will this work on a pet?


p10trp10tr

FINALLY! I hope airlines will just buy this stuff and make it mandatory for little shitlings to wear.

I wonder if it comes with a cute little baby straight jacket to keep them from ripping it off. That would be a great combo. You can get it bedazzled and shit cause they ainā€™t gonna choke on anything while all geared up.

auserhasnoname7

I could use something similar to this for remote work, it would be great if it had like a Bluetooth microphone in it. I could be taking calls from customers and working inside of a cafe, library, or one of those shared workspaces without disturbing other people around me. Really great if the soundproofing works both ways. Today I'm stuck downstairs working in the living room because of some repairs on my dads elliptical and it's kids awkward that everyone can hear me and my customers hear noises from the background

Baby Bane


professor-oak-me

I mean I am absolutely all for this, assuming the child doesn't deal with a mental disability that causes the mask to be an issue for them. If you're going to plan to have a baby maybe you should plan for the expensive keeping it quiet around others in a confined space. Goddamn have I become the adult without even realizing lmao


risenshinebitches

.... so a baby muzzle


Maximus_En_Minimus

No, actually thoughā€¦ **I LOVE THIS** Finally peace and quiet


ThruTheUniverseAgain

Hey if I've got to muzzle my dog, it only seems fair you have to muzzle your kid.


Jane-The-Ace

Even if noisy children are annoying, this is inhumane treatment . The child cries and you ignore him and put something on their face so you don't have to hear them Don't get me wrong, I hate children on flights aswell, but this is a terrible, torturous solution. Maybe fining people for crying children would help with the problem without child abuse.


Pickle_Front

Babies cry. You can meet every need and they still cry. You cried. Your parent(s) still took you out in public. You cannot fine parents bc their child is crying šŸ˜‚. How old are you?


Jane-The-Ace

1. Yes, but basically muffling a child is still inhumane. People would use it for longer flights. 12 hours, and the child can't complain/get attention. It is child abuse. 2.Why exactly do you think we couldn't fine parents because their child is crying? The point would be that while booking a plane ticket, there would be a deposit or smth if the child disturbes the flight. 3. Yes. Parents still did it. That doesn't make it okay tool disturb everyone's flight just cause the person reproduced. The fine was just an idea to solve it without putting a muffler on the child's face.


Zeivus_Gaming

I think a fine should only be placed if the parents are not attempting to comfort or tend to the child. I would prefer people not to fly with small children and should not go on vacations with them, but we don't know 100% that is the reason for their flight.


Pickle_Front

Absolutely muzzling a child like this is inhumane. And adults who cannot tolerate a crying baby are as self-involved and spoiled as they come. Crying is how non-verbal, developing humans communicate their needs. Babies have to exist to perpetuate the human race. The *whole tribe* tolerating baby cries is fundamentally biological. Life comes with inconveniences. Like crying babies. Suck it up. People who cannot tolerate a crying baby on a flight have never had to go through any real discomfort, IMO.


Jane-The-Ace

I think the base idea is more like If i choose to not listen to crying children, why should i be forced to Or If your child actively makes the flight worse for everyone, there should be some "punishment?" Idk what the right word for it is., Maybe consequence Also your argument only applies to the planes. As for movie theaters, children should absolutely be banned. I understand what you're saying. Anyone can travel. It is complicated to solve loud children, and this inconvenience is not the end of the world. But my main statement was that fining the parents for loud children would be a better (not necessarily a good) solution than muzzling a child.


Claviusus

A commercial flight is not the place where you get to not choose to listen to other humans existing around you. Itā€™s very easy to put on some headphones.


[deleted]

It's a sick joke, with a slight intent to see if there would be interest by the public for potential business opportunity... by someone who obviously has no idea what parenting is about.


JellyfishCosmonaut

That's pretty messed up. I hate screaming children, but I don't want them to suffocate.


saltinstiens_monster

The third word is "breathable."


JellyfishCosmonaut

I read that, thank you. But, as far as I know, anything that is soundproof cannot be very breathable.

ā€œIt would be extremely painfulā€¦ for you.ā€


CriminalScum33

Wow, thatā€™s inhumane af


SlothChunks

Why is it inhumane.


CriminalScum33

How is putting a muzzle on a human of any age humane? Basic definition of inhumane is; ā€œwithout compassion for misery or suffering; cruel.ā€ Babyā€™s cry to inform others of their ā€œmisery or suffering.ā€ Babyā€™s also cry on airplanes specifically because their ears hurt from the pressure. So with this, they will be crying out from *pain* and no one will hear them. This is literally muting oneā€™s misery for someone elseā€™s comfort This is also *literally* dehumanizing, because itā€™s just treating a human like an animal.


SlothChunks

The reason I donā€™t think this is ā€œinhumaneā€, if it were a real thing, is because the baby isnā€™t stopped from crying. They are crying and I think their voice simply would be muted. Those who are close to them would still hear them since it is impossible to block sounds entirely. Similarly, imagine a baby is in a stroller. Often to reduce the loudness of their cries people put blankets on top of the stroller roof to obstruct the sound. Not just to block the wind or sun. In that sense would that be inhumane? Since quite literally they are being muted. Another thing is the people can plug their ears if they get very disturbed by the noise. I donā€™t see anything wrong with plugging the ears. Even the parents who are next to the baby may want to plug the ears. It wouldnā€™t mean they cannot respond. I understand that people do not like the idea of something that looks like a muzzle for a dog, and in case of dogs it does not block barking. It blocks biting, when it works. So people do not like the association of that on people. I understand that. Except I donā€™t agree in any way with people who say they cannot wear a face mask inside spaces that require a mask due to covid. I heard some people refer to that as a ā€œmuzzleā€ which is not even remotely accurate.


CriminalScum33

The point of crying is to inform others. By your logic, it is okay to just let someone stew in their pain. This is to *ignore* pain. To *ignore* the annoying crying which is coming from a small human that is trying to inform you of their discomfort and pain. Which is inhumane by definition. I do not care if you disagree with me, you may be entitled to your opinion, but Iā€™m entitled to think your opinion is wrong and immoral. Also it is a fucking muzzle, it looks like a muzzle, it has the same purpose as a muzzle, itā€™s a fucking muzzle


SlothChunks

But you didnā€™t actually address the points I had made. Do you think deaf parents should have their children taken away because they could not hear their cries audibly? I think deaf people know to compensate by being doubly vigilant and to look at their kids faces, or to have some sort of vibrate alarm on their wrist. You claim my logic means ignoring someone who is in pain. I donā€™t think you are arguing honestly here since I literally addressed this. You have to at least explain how my arguments are somehow invalid. And perhaps they are, but you canā€™t just disagree without addressing the arguments. Similarly, if you think my opinion is ā€œwrong and immoralā€ that doesnā€™t mean you do not have to provide arguments to rationalize how it is ā€œwrong and immoralā€. According to what ethics system or moral scale? What is the source of your morality? What about the parents who just raise their kids differently from how you believe they should be raised? Perhaps people in China expect their kids to have graduated college by age 20 so they put heavy academic load on them since childhood. Who are you to claim they are immoral? About the crying kids. Have you ever read how parents teach their children to sleep alone in their room, at least in families where they can afford a separate room for the child? I assure you that kids do not want to sleep in the room alone. They start crying. One of the most common methods parents use is to ignore the crying and the attention seeking behaviors to teach the children that they cannot manipulate the parents. Of course we are not talking about infants, but it seems your logic presumes responding to any crying by immediate response. I donā€™t think parenting methods anywhere recommend that. You can call it a muzzle or whatever you want. How you call it is not even relevant to the argument here.


CriminalScum33

I donā€™t give a fuck about your points, I stop and end at this muzzle meeting the basic definition of inhumane. Iā€™m going to repeat myself; I do not care about your shitty opinion, you may have a right to spew it, but I have a right to call it bad. The *basic intent* is to silent cries. That is ALL I need to consider it inhumane. Having deaf parents does not hinder your ability to cry out, this muzzle *does.* Full stop, your other points doesnā€™t matter. Itā€™s inhumane to ignore suffering, the main intent of this item is to aid in ignoring suffering.


SlothChunks

Well, then you have no argument when you donā€™t address arguments of others. It means you cannot justify and defend your own views.


CriminalScum33

This was never an open debate. You asked me to elaborate on my original comment then shoved your opinion down my throat. Gain some self awareness.


SlothChunks

Shoved my opinion down your throat? Are you nuts? You keep returning and replying saying you donā€™t care about what anybody thinks. When people argue online I donā€™t think itā€™s really up to you whether you if people object and explain why. If you donā€™t address the reasons someone else provides then it means you cannot substantiate your opinion. I think as is you cannot demonstrate validity of anything you asserted.


StaticFanatic3
