What do you think the optimum seating for us would be anyway? Are we better off with four aisle seats? If it's a bug and I can select seats together we could do ACDF or AC/DF in 2 rows, but not sure which would be best.
Unless you know the person in the other seat in your immediate row (eg you choose A/F and you know the person in C/D), choose four aisle seats as you may well be up and down quite a lot and it'll save you disturbing a stranger. One of my recent (and by far the worst) flights with our then 14mo, we were sitting in A/B and the person in C ended up moving about an hour into the (thankfully not full) flight as we were up and down so often (walking up/down the aisle, going to toilet to change nappy etc etc). I felt terrible for that person and in future will try to get the aisle seat to avoid that issue.
btw following this with interest as as of April/May we'll have two lap infants, albeit with 17/18 months between them, so good to know whether we can all sit together!
