(I agree if your partner is in 45B you can have them ask for you. If it's your 5yo, then...you leave your 5yo in 45B? Stand in 45C but don't sit down (even with bag on lap)?)
Upon boarding, I ask the Purser if he/she would ask the person in the seat I want if they would consider switching with me once boarding is complete.
