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 :D

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!   :)
