What I've never understood is that this is against CAA rules. A child under 12 should be seated no more than separated by an aisle or one row!! Can you imagine a child got injured for any reason the claim against FR!! As the CAA state this is primarily for evacuation reasons a parent will do anything to save their child even if that means another Manchester Airtours event where evacuation delays killed people!!
