Hi HeartyMeatballs and thanks for your comments.
However I did make the point that pax in (eg) row 1 are required to be able to assist FC to manage the doors, and may be the only people manning those doors, slides and assessing the area outside if the FC are occupied elsewhere in an emergency, or incapacitated.
Yes, I would be horrified if there was a row of babies in row 1 - they would clearly not be able to assist FC or operate the doors. Their parents would be blocking the exits trying to help the babies and slowing evacuation of the plane.
Whether I am right to be concerned or not I think this issue needs to be sensibly discussed.
