On our recent flights on Delta to West Palm Beach, it was our kids first flights, and I had booked us the aisle and middles on both sides of the aisle. I approached the gate agent, and asked if the window seats in our row were taken. They weren't so she said she would put a block on them. Turned out the plane was lightly loaded and the entire rows both in front and behind us were empty LOL. Looked kind of funny with the 4 of amongst 18 seats, but at least the kids didn't bother anyone.

Coming back, I asked again. He said we get the the row to ourselves if we wanted to move back to the last row. No problem, I said, although this time I had to educate the guy in front of me that his seat wasn't reclining while my knee was wedged in there LOL.
