I agree on the prohibition of kids in the exit row.
A couple months ago my wife and I were on a UA flight out of DEN. We were middle and window in the exit row.
The gentleman in the aisle seat was recovering from a recent knee replacement and had minimal mobility. We would have been fine in an evacuation, but the folks behind him would not. In a perfect world, they would verify that pax in the exit row are physically capable of lifting and removing the door.
I realize that won't happen any time soon.
