Advice sought for Children in Aircraft

I'm due to take a friend and his two boys this weekend for a trip in a Warrior. One is six, the other four, and I am in a quandry as to where people would sit.

The six year old is currently odd on to sit with me in the front, and dad and his other boy in the rear.

Does anyone have an opinion as to the safety of the six year old up front with me?

My concern is:

- In the event of a forced landing, I would have to open the door (on the PAX side in the Warrior), which would distract me.

- Wandering hands and fingers, especially near the big red lever for fuel

I've chatted to the dad, (whom I know quite well - but not the boys) and he assures me the 6 year old is well behaved - especially if he is in the plane.

Anyone have any advice (or horror stories)
