I think the cinema should have refused entry but I don't agree with very small children at the cinema anyway. This is based on a number of years ago when there was a family sitting behind me and the baby decided that it's dummy would serve a better purpose in my left ear rather then in his mouth. A wet, sticky ear was not conducive to enjoying the film.
11 weeks, sp. The mother would notice first, be mortified and leave. Clearly, she was confident it would feed and settle (as i would be). I'm sorry for sounding anti-English. That was a bad thing to say (i AM English). But i spent a lot of time in France when my dad lived there and my children were tiny. There were often babied in any film and they learnt how to behave. Why do we make them so anti-social, like a different species?
Pixie it is not irrelevant.
The baby is under 15, OK so the comprehension isn't going to be there but you are going to be surrounded by adolescents/adults. If it was a showing of Bambi then you can expect a lot of wriggling bored toddlers who may cry when they drop their popcorn. Quite a different scenario.
I do think the point about noise levels is a very important one.

we don't make them that way, but as you know they can and do cry, get wet, need changing, have a fit of the burps, pass wind, not necessarily all at the same time. and i honestly find it strange that the cinema issued the ticket, had it been under the classification of a U they wouldn't have had a problem, so down to the cinema on this one
I was lucky enough to have my daughter in Canada where babies and children are accepted as part of the human race.
I'm not sure if I would have taken her to the cinema....only because I rarely go myself.
Not for fear of meeting a baby....but the noisy...popcorn eating eating late comers don't make it an enjoyable experience.
I did take the daughter everywhere else I went in Canada from seven days old....restaurants, ice hockey and football matches, lunchtime theatre in downtown Calgary....she had no reason to fuss or cry so she didn't.
I guess the age thing comes into play here but if the baby was asleep and bothering nobody let the mum be.

i have sat in the cinema, paid a shed load of money to watch a film and was presented with mobile phone conversations, not mine, popcorn and sweet rustlers, chatting non stop through the film, feet kicking the back of the chair,
and smelly food wafting across the way, sorry i find that irritating,
i don;t remember the last time i went to the cinema, it was a while ago,
but i make it a rare occasion now because of this, and they were so called adults.
