Alpine Muffy Baby Comfort ear defenders are at #15 in the Amazon UK Baby bestsellers this morning. With Bonfire Night on Thursday 5 November, weekend displays and New Year to come, which ear defenders suit a baby, a toddler or an older child?
The short answer: for babies and toddlers, pick a soft baby model with a stretchy or Velcro band and check the age range and head size on the listing. From about three years old, a kids model with an adjustable plastic headband fits better and lasts for years. Look for the SNR or dB rating and CE or UKCA marking on the listing.

Which one for your child?
- Under one, or a baby in a carrier or pram: a soft baby model with a fabric or Velcro band
- Toddlers who pull things off: a baby model with a snug band, tried on at home first
- School age: a kids model with a hard adjustable headband that folds into a coat pocket
- Two children at the same display: buy one each, since sharing on the night rarely works
Fireworks night tips
- Try the ear defenders on at home a few days before, so they are familiar
- Put them on before the first rocket, not after
- Stand further back from the launch area; distance helps as much as the ear defenders
- Check the fit: the cups should sit fully around the ears, with hair and hats out of the way
