[quote=Anonymous]I do not let my kids kick seats or even use their trays (unless the are drinking) during flights so as not to bother other flyers.

But there is an age, around 3 1/2 to 4 years old, where if the kid is sitting properly in her seat with the seatbelt buckled, the legs stick straight out.

Because the airlines have the seats so close together, a child's feet will indeed touch the seat in front of them (if the child is sitting properly and buckled).  To say seated, the kids will sometimes push off with their toes.  It happens.

To all of those outraged posters, try sitting still for 3-6 hours with your legs strait in front of you, you seat hitting just below your knees, no support for your lower legs, and a verticle object touching your toes.  Then tell me if you would be able to do this for 3-6 hours strait and never touch the seat in front of you.  You wouldn't be able to do it, so why would you be angry with a 3 or 4 year old occassionally messing up?

I have had kids kick my seat and I have had a 6'4" guy behind me, and it is much less uncomfortable to have a kid occassionally kick the seat than to have a grown man's legs digging into my lower back the whole time.[/quote]
