Fireworks

We took dd1 to a fireworks display last year and she loved it (she had just turned 2).
They've started going off in the streets and so she started asking if we can go and see the 'big ones' again as she remembers being there last year.
However we have an almost 9 month old and I'm not sure if we should take her. She's not a timid baby and isn't scared of loud noises or anything but not sure how she'll cope. My gut feeling is that she would love it but have seen a few judgey posts in the past about taking very young children and babies so not sure if it's unfair to the little one?
Would you?

We're planning on taking our 15 month old. Not sure what she will make of it. We will pop some cotton wool in her ears to lessen the loud bangs.

I took my son at 12mo. Took a sling so he could snuggle in if scared but he didn't want to.

I was planning on taking her in the carrier but there's no way she'd keep ear muffs on. She's an absolute terror lol. Could put a long hat on and hood up. Thanks.
