How to Make the Bad Times Toddler Video With Your Child
Make the toddler version of the Bad Times trend from one photo of your own child, with who may upload, the photos that work, privacy and the price.
A toddler wobbles up to the phone, points a tiny finger, holds up a little "stop" hand, shrugs and walks off giggling, all to Imael Angel's "BAD TIMES". After the original argument went viral, parents started filming their toddlers doing it their own way. Here is how to make one starring your own child from one photo.
What is the Bad Times toddler video?
The original Bad Times TikTok is an adult's over-the-top argument with the camera. This version follows one of the toddler takes instead, 26 seconds long. Upload a photo of your own child and they play the part: the video keeps their face, age, hair and outfit and the room from your photo, so it looks like a home video of your little one.
Who can upload a child's photo?
Only a parent or legal guardian, and only a photo of their own child.
How to make it
- Open the Bad Times toddler template.
- Add one photo of your child: clear and well lit, face toward the camera, only your child in the photo.
- Pick a version. Premium makes the whole 26-second take; Balanced makes its first 15 seconds for fewer credits.
- Generate and download. You get a vertical 9:16 MP4 with the song. It stays private until you choose to share it.
Photos that work best
- Face clear, eyes and mouth sharp and toward the camera.
- Upper body or more in frame, so the outfit and proportions come out right.
- Good light, without heavy filters.
- Only your child, with no one else in frame and no one holding them.
Toddlers who can stand, roughly 1 to 4 years old, work best, because the motion comes from a toddler's take.
Privacy
Photos are only used to make your video and are deleted 30 days after it is made. Nothing is published unless you share it.
Why was my child's photo refused?
The video model sometimes refuses photos of children. When that happens your credits or payment come back automatically; a clearer everyday photo may work.
What does it cost?
The 15-second Balanced highlight is 15 credits at 480p and 25 at 720p. The whole 26 seconds on Premium is 45 credits at 480p, 100 at 720p and 180 at 1080p, and each account's first full 480p video costs at most 20 credits. No watermark.
