[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Would you mind sending your flight info, so I can change my flight in case it’s the same as yours? Thank you. [/quote]

Do you try to avoid flights in general that have children under 2 as passengers, since they wouldn't be wearing masks either?  Or flights where beverages/snacks will be served, since other passengers will demask to eat/drink?

I think the 2 years cutoff is pretty terrible for multiple reasons- from a developmental perspective, it's unreasonable to expect a toddler who may well still be in diapers (!!) to suddenly wear a face covering for hours at a time.  And the messaging is such that it's considered unsafe to put them on kids under 2, so its no wonder that a new 2yo is going to struggle.  Most childcares understand this- they recognize there will be a transition period and don't expect perfect compliance the day the child turns 2.  But then you have posters like this who regard an unmasked 25 mo as a threat to your health and well being.[/quote]
