Does your small child wear the magic bands?

My two year old loved it. So much that she insisted on wearing it and ended up losing it (somewhere at Fort Wilderness). When she was three, she did the same thing (at Epcot). Just be careful if you have only one magic band per child and they are over two. They will need the band for fastpasses and it could take up some valuable time trying to deal with that. Even my ten year old lost hers once at AK when she decided to take it off during FOTLK. I didn't notice that she had taken it off, and when we went back to the theater, it was not there and no one had turned it in. We went to guest services and told them to deactivate it in all three of those cases. Fortunately, I carry extra magic bands (we have been many times with magic bands) and the lost band was a relatively easy fix. You may have some stress, though, if you have fastpasses and tickets on a child's band and it is lost.

I started insisting that I wear my younger daughter's band because she just kept messing with it and it was stressful to have to constantly check to make sure she had not taken it off or lost it.
