Not disagreeing with you, but don't want another parent to read that and think they wouldn't be able to sit there with a car seat.
Interesting.. didn't know AA allowed that. Some carriers do not allow disabling for purpose of car seats. Maybe it has to do with the way the seatbelt fits versus fixed armrests/width of seat that may prevent a car seat from fitting snugly on some.
