[quote=Anonymous]I think a good compromise would be to allow preboarding to families with carseats, and to require that they sit in the back of the plane and disembark last.

I think this would be a win win.  For starters it would prevent families from taking the most desired seats up front, which is one complaint about preboarding, two it would encourage more carseat use which leads to calmer children, IMO.  Three, if a family's argument is that they need extra time to board without inconveniencing people, they should disembark without inconveniencing people either.

I also don't really see why a family with toilet trained, weaned children out of carseats needs priority or more time or to bring a million things.  From about age 3 to 8 my kid traveled with the same amount of carry on stuff I did plus a backless booster that we stored overhead (since his legs were short his bag fit under the seat in front so he stored one thing).  After 8 he didn't even need the booster.

Obviously families with identified special needs are exceptions to all of this.  [/quote]
