Ok, this might be just me... 2 adults + 2 small children (done then when they were babies too!).
Plan your seating beforehand: are we 1 adult + 2 children or 1 adult + 1 child. Are we sitting across from each other or in two different rows. Either way doesn't matter but good to know our relative positions.
Minimal hand baggage, big stuff goes in hold. Children put in seats immediately and told not to move (Adults in aisle seats). Bags away, toy/book each for the kids. Seat belts on. Done.
Funny but we're all ready while most business pax are still farting around with their giant suitcases...
I mean, it is not that hard to sit down in a seat is it? Fortunately I'm usually locked away behind the cockpit door and miss the crap our cc have to take...maybe I shouldn't mention the cattle prods to them....
