[quote=Anonymous]OP, I understand your question. The last time I flew, I was sitting next to my then-16 month old. He was in his car seat and he did get in a few kicks to the seat in front of him. I tried redirection, I tried snacks, for most of the flight he was sleeping so during that time it wasn't an issue, but there were moments (I forget whether it was at the beginning or end of the flight, or both) when it was all he wanted to do. It sucked, but I held his legs so he couldn't do it. I hate having my seat kicked and I wasn't about to let him do it to someone else. It was a tough age to fly with because he really wasn't  old enough to understand *why* what  he was doing was wrong. (As opposed to now, he is 3, and he absolutely understands). I pretty much consider flying with young children to be torture, for me, and stuff like having to hold legs down is why. But I try my hardest to make sure that my kids are not bothering others. Unlike crying, kicking is something you can effectively stop, so you should.[/quote]
