That's not really a good assumption, OP. Many people prioritize getting an aisle seat no matter where it is in the plane. [/quote]

Exactly.  [b]Someone might have picked that precise seat because they need quick and easy access to the bathroom.[/b]  You just never know.  It could be super easy to change seats, it could be hard.  Pay for your seats now and you can stop thinking about it OP.  I don't care how "expensive" it is, put some value on your peace of mind. [/quote]

I'm 'that person.'  Because of chronic illnesses, whether I'm solo or with DC, I *always* choose the seat most accessible to the bathroom.  I now have a medical condition that also involves an immobile leg, so for disability purposes I'm always on the right side of the plane:  I pay for any upgrades or accommodations I need to achieve this.  It really really is a medical issue.  So, OP, if you and your family were looking for a seat in the back row aisle, and I had 'the seat' blocking your plan, I would not trade with you unless I were within one row of the bathroom.  Not because I am cruel, or family insensitive, or any of those things, but because I am disabled and have qualified and paid for special needs.

I really don't mean to sound so harsh but I am just REALLY not understanding why you wouldn't at least try to budget some of this into your travels (even if it's paying for two seats together *somewhere* on the plan -- at least that way you could ensure your most vulnerable child would have a parent with him/her.[/quote]
