I understand that we have at least one reader who writes for the Wall Street Journal. May I suggest in the interests of safety promotion and newsworthiness that consideration be given to an article about the issues canvassed on this forum?

With ever increasing passenger volumes I think it is a good idea to publicise the ways that parents with young children can fly safely and comfortably. Many passengers like myself may have flown before but upon having a newborn do not know where to start as far as safely carrying an infant onboard and what options are available.

With a little research such an article could also examine each of the major American airlines with a comparison as to how each airline promotes child safety aboard aircraft. Mention of the pouches and/or alternatives could be made also. You never know - it might just save a child's life one day.

cheers Peter
