[quote=Anonymous]So many things wrong in this situation.  Bottom line is the airlines are responsible because they force people to pay extra for seat assignments now and wipe their hands when something goes wrong, expecting passengers to figure it out themselves.  They are only concerned with revenue and nothing will change until enough people make a public stink to affect their PR, so everyone should hit social media anytime they have an issue like this - even when passengers move to accommodate you, because it's still on you and the other passengers to resolve a problem the airline created.

To the PP who suggested linking seats, you can actually do that, at least in some airlines.  I have done that multiple times ever since my daughter and I were separated (after reserving seats together), and she was only 1. The gate agents obvs knew she could not be placed alone and fixed it, and told me they had linked our seats for the return flight, so if something happened to the assignments we would stay together.  Ever since, I call the airline after booking and ask. Sometimes they claim they can't, I just explain why child can't sit alone and they say they'll "maje a note" but either way we've never had a problem since.  My daughter is 4 now and I'm guessing at some point she'll get old enough they won't care about separating us, but it has definiteky worked while she's been a toddler.[/quote]
