I agree. I'm not going to sue anyone; the negligence discussion is only hypothetical.
On the 767, it is not possible for me to sit next to my child, because the seats go window, aisle, aisle, center, aisle, aisle, window. We would have to sit in window seats in separate rows.
Flying with two kids, I don't mind sitting next to one child and one row away from the other child. In fact, in addition to aisle seat avoidance, it's better because the two kids won't fight with each other.
