Did bother to glare at Mom several times when the child cried but never put it up. The toddler was startled, exhausted and could not sleep sitting straight up so Mom took her out of her SAFETY seat and cradled her. No offer to help came from any FA. But thank you to the pilot who observed help needed as the pair exited loaded with bags, carseat and toddler who was too tired to walk. This is a child who has flown easily over a dozen times while sleeping and whose enthusiasm cheerily ranks high in anticipation("airplane, airplane!"). There was no bookable seat on the plane that did not have a reclinable seat in front that allowed a carseat. Solution?
