From your experience, let me ask the following: when the two parents bought their tickets and picked their seats, the system allowed them to sit together even though there weren't enough oxygen masks? Was this change of which you spoke made at the gate or by the FA's themselves when they did a cabin check?

So when parents pick their seats, do the airlines' websites alert them that they've chosen a row that doesn't have the extra oxygen masks? Or....what if a parent chooses a row in which another passenger has already selected a seat with a lap child? Is there a way to stop another parent with lap child from selecting that seat due to another lap child already in that row?
Thanks.
