We are a family of four, kids ages 5 and 7. They don't need leg room as much as they need to be able to snuggle together, share the window and look out, lay across my lap, etc. So, even though the bulkhead has more leg room, the movable armrests are more important to my family's comfort, right? This just seems so counterintuitive that I'm just making sure that I'm not missing anything. Thanks for your help!
Personally I still think 10 is the way to go. Seats are narrow regardless imo but I enjoyed as a solo traveler I could get up easy and no one disturbing me in 10H or 10J.
