It matters who sits in the exit row as if the Aircraft has to make a rapid descent and emerg landing the person in the exit row should be qualified to do the needful.
Are you seriously proposing that its ok for kids to sit in exit row and in case of an emergency landing when they're freaking out the kids should move out of the exit row and allow some one else to move in so they can do the needful ?
