Hi there  
 
Was looking around Brandon for some hearing protection for young children. Just a bit under one year old. Was thinking about taking her to the BWK game tonight. I can't find any stores that Carry this item.  

You get a sitter and leave the kid at home until she's old enough to sit in the seat, let alone tolerate sitting for that long in a loud arena....

I would try Joe Brook Fire arms. I know they make hearing protection for toddlers for shooting ranges etc. Not sure if they carry them there or not, but it might be worth checking out.

Not always that easy.....it can be hard to find sitter, and really, that shouldn't stop you from living your life.  
I don't have a sitter always available to me for every event that we want to go to all the time, so our kids come with us most of the time. We take them to weddings, funerals, sporting events, etc. The more you do these things with your children, the better they will learn to participate properly. Start young....don't just always rely on sitters. We have plenty of friends who go to games as a family, because it's a fun family outing for them. They enjoy bringing their kids.  
 
To the OP, if you wanna take your kid to the game tonight, go for it. You don't have to stay parked in your seat without moving the entire time. Get up, walk around a bit with them, make it an enjoyable evening for you and your child. Sorry, I can't help you with the hearing protection question though.

You read my post I didn't say taking your kids out to events was wrong, but that if they aren't even 1 yet, they are too young to sit by themselves let alone learn how to properly participate in anything that doesn't involve shitting themselves, or crying.....wait until they are old enough to at least enjoy the events you are taking them to.

We always took out babies to the WK games. It is a family outing and that is so much more important than anything. It's a beautiful day and you have every right to take part!! Enjoy your evening!!  

Good for you for protecting your kids' hearing!  
 
My kids are now 6 and 8. When the first one was little, I invested in a set of Peltor infant ear protectors and did not regret it. Outdoor/indoor concerts, sporting events, bowling. ..it's easy to overlook as adults how horribly loud some things are.  
 
Sorry, but to my knowledge nothing is available locally, but amazon has lots. For some reason they're considered a speciality item, though I think families should have enough hearing protection to go around.

A pair of pink headphones for my daughter through fdmt.com (think thats the right site) and they were very reasonable. She wears them anytime its noisy. Great investment!!
