What is everyones view on this?

[Scunner]

I have kids and I agree!

My kids are well behaved (mostly) on flights and I always seem to have the baby with earache screaming behind me or the kid who thinks the back of my seat is a foot drum, while their parents sleep soundly. I've got up and asked a parent to get their child to stop more than once - often we seem to be checking in at Dalaman just after midnight for a 02:30 flight knowing I have a 5 hour drive awaiting me in the UK and if I don't manage to sleep on the flight it means I would be attempting to drive a long distance having been up all night and last slept 36 hours ago. These things make toleration just that little bit harder to find.

I have to say I'm all for it, sadly.

I think aeroplanes should have trailors for the kids

Would get my vote.

PS My kids are also well behaved .

or what about those "doughnuts" - you could get two large or 3 small ones in each of them!!:D
We're taking our 3 yr old grand-daughter away in a few weeks and I would be happy to sit in a kid's section to save me worrying about her being noisy/grumpy/fidgety.

I also have kids who are now growing up, but can't think of anything worse than noisy screaming kids on a late-night flight.

Or, even worse, a child just across the aisle who begins throwing up - just as my food arrives!!!  Yes, it happened to me on Monday night!  (I was starving and really looking forward to my chicken dinner too!)  

Moving them (or us!) to the back of the plane, or even a trailer Tinx, sounds like a good idea!
