CO757, I think I've read previously that you are a flight attendant. Based on your follow up post, it seems that people who share the opinion set forth by Griffon and me really bother you. No doubt that there are lap children on nearly every one of the flights you work. If this makes you so angry, how do you reconcile within yourself that some of the adult passengers on your flights do not purchase a ticket for their under 2 year old children? Do you realize that your strong beliefs may unknowingly influence how you relate to these passengers?

And as to "taking a crap shoot" with a child's life, I think it is very important to point out that allowing your over 2 year old children to play outside unsupervised has a far greater chance of them being harmed than holding your under 2 year old child on an airplane.

Back to the subject at hand. Do you advocate for children not being allowed onboard an aircraft unless they are ticketed with their own seat? What a burden to so many that would be if such a policy was in place.
