[quote=Anonymous]I read several pages but certainly not all.

Did anyone mention the undue burden you are putting on the person who ends up sitting next to your child on these flights.

The flight attendant will not be sitting next time him.You pay a fee for someone to look after your kid but it is not a full time nanny fee.

I have been that person next to an UM and it is a bit of a burden and I love kids.

Basically the person next to him becomes his defacto nanny.  What if he gets sick?  My DS never got sick on flights before but we had a REALLY bumpy ride on a flight last summer and DS got sick.  I can't imagine how he would have felt if he were sick and alone.  As it was he was sitting with my best friend, who he loves (he DS was with me).

As people have said there are so many unknowns.  
You could luck out and he gets a seat next to a mother/grandmother or father/grandfather type missing their own kid or he could end up sitting next to a pervert.  You just don't know.

I say you do the first flight with him and have one of the grandparents do the second flight with him.  [/quote]
