You don't want any special occasion to be ruined because of an injury or serious accident.
The first issue is the sound. Fireworks explosives can be noisy which is part of their appeal. But not to a small child. Some babies and toddlers are absolutely terrified of loud sounds. Don’t think that by making them listen to them they’ll “get over it”. If you’re children are scared of loud noises then save the fireworks until they’re older when they can enjoy them.

The further away from the noise they are the safer they’ll feel. Plus, their crate is a safe, secure place where they comfortable.
