My parents never had the means to travel that way, and even if they did, they wouldn't have put us kids in a premium cabin.

I just think about some 8 year old flying that way and expecting that for the rest of his life. I wouldn't do it with my kid. In fact it'd probably be cheaper to put the nanny and kids back in economy while you travel up front. I can see certain situations such as an exceptionally long haul flight, but otherwise I wouldn't do it.

I once boarded a JFK-LHR flight where you walked in through F (for some reason). There was a young oligarch type with his wife and baby in the cabin, and the baby (who was MAYBE 12 mos) was sat there in that massive seat like a little Tsarovich. It was a bit off putting.
