Without getting too technical it depends on your inside leg measurement and how far you can stretch against how high the obstacle is. From pratical experience I can never climb over someone without hitting their legs either through intoxication or being vertically challenged. Actually they both go hand in hand!!

Unless I'm mistaken 20E,on at least the mid J new config, is a cot/bassinet position so would be blocked out? is this the only cot position on the main deck?

Makes perfect sense!

After all, how easy is it to handle a baby or toddler isolated by the massive privacy barriers?

Where would you put a 2 year old toddler (too old for a lap child) in BA First, where no double seats exist? Or in 767 Club World?

If you were adamant about taking a toddler in F, then 4 or 5 E/F seem the obvious choice. Yes, you won't then be able to sit next to your partner, but that's travelling with kids for you...

As it happens, even though I have the miles, I'm NOT going to take my 4 and 2 year old in F on my next redemption - I just don't think it's worth the miles. CW will be fine.

Ah, but that's the barrier in the up position, which it wouldn't usually see if you were travelling with someone you knew (unless I guess on an overnight and they were reading or something.

Come to think, would 1A/K not be quite good with a wee one? Actually no, go for 5A/E or 5F/K. Row 5 would have the adantage of being a long(er) way from the front, where I try and get my seat and maybe close enough to the galley that one of the cabin crew could look after them.

In fact, you can see that it lowers in the the same picture - look at what you can see of 5E/F...

And even in the extreme retracted position, there still is a pretty massive barrier left. Can you, say, fasten the seat belt of the toddler over the barrier?

Yes, I'm happy that I could, but as I've already said, I consider F a waste of miles for a 2-year-old.
