I agree that the survival of three out of four infants in UA232 was more luck than anything else, though perhaps had there been more fatalities we would have safer conditions today. All parents plus other sane people would all agree that proper seats are the safest solution, but very few can afford to pay full fare for a toddler so the airlines would lose out if there were many babies on a flight.
