Certainly, to augment common sense, not replace it. There's always the temptation to rely on tools or helpers and lower one's guard, so I'll admit that's a a danger here.
Still, the best training and intentions only go so far. I can remember several trips to the theatre with a dozen little ones that would have ended in much less of a CF had we a way to locate the wide-eyed bundles of curiosity. Turn it into Disneyland and I'm a guaranteed customer. The cost would more than pay for a single ten minute stress event.
