Well I don't know what they put into Rusks these days (or Weetabix in the case of 14 year old rugby players that tower over me when I occasionally have to referee them) but the cots on the bassinets aren't overly generous size wise, and by the time a well nourished 2 year old lad gets into one it can look a bit of a tight fit and one wonders for the overall stability of the contraption. A one year old girl on the other hand would fit in nicely. I think the view of many cabin crew is that 2 year old boys are often too big.
