I can assure you that I am not 'FR bashing'. As not all airlines make the last row an emergency exit row, I am just interested to know the thinking behind it. The emergency rows in the centre of the cabin have emergency exits that need to be opened by the passengers, and then other passengers have to exit through this row. I can therefore see the logic in not allowing children to sit in these rows, and to ensure that there are no loose articles for people to trip over on their way out.
However the exits at the rear are through the galley and are well behind the rear row. Why then is a passenger in the window seat not allowed to have a coat on his knee, or a bag under the seat in front, whereas the passenger in the row in front is? Why are children not allowed in the rear row? Surely the cabin crew would have the doors open well before the passengers got out of their seats.
