I don't think it is a good idea to have a toddler seated alone in a pod unless they can fully follow instructions and protocol on their own. having a toddler in J that is misbehaving and you are not able to reach over to help settle will ruin your own J pod experience and not worth the stress.

bottom line. don't put them in J unless you know they can handle it. fly premium economy instead, it'll save you a lot of grief.
