Thank you.
I agree and also its a health violation for feces to touch the seats. In the restroom at least you would put a pad down on the Changing table. Why should I have to smell your babies crap? If a Parent did this by my seat I would tell the Parent to stop right now and go to the restroom. I don't want to smell your baby and if the Parent refused I would ask the Flight attendant to reseat me away from any babies.
Oh and not having a changing table in the restroom is no excuse to change your baby in public. If the Parent kept the Dirty Diaper in the Seat Pocket I would tell the Parents off and tell them to go get a life and tell them how rude you are to make me smell your baby. I'm trying to eat or watch a movie. I would further get the pursuer involved as well.
Babies and their Parents should be placed on the Infant Do Not Fly List if the Parents let their babies scream throughout the flight, change their diapers in their seats and are inconsiderate to other passengers.
On British Airways they claim their Bulkhead Seats are also the Bassinet Seats and if its used you can't watch the IFE due to the monitor. In that case I would ask to be upgraded to a better cabin if a poor seat was available as the damn baby prevented me from watching IFE.
Personally I don't want kids because it would make it almost impossible to fly with them.
