I may be the only one, but crying infants (which is different from misbehaved children) don't bother me much, ever since I had kids of my own. It invokes empathy in me. Though I admit I do travel with earbuds. In any event, I think kids have as much right to ride in the pointy end with their parents as anyone. And I hate to mention it, but I am thinking of dropping some PPs on the reservation of a family member with a lap infant next weekend - not just to get them into F, but because I am concerned about IRROPS these days and want them to get better treatment if anything goes wrong. So bring your earbuds.
