If they are my kids, they are the most perfect angels ever to take flight, a joy to be with, and the rest of the cabin are bless'd to be in their presence. If they cry, 'tis just something you have to put up with for this priviledge
If they are some one else's infants, grinding them up in the inflight garbage disposal unit is the correct course of action.

Babies and young children should either be checked with luggage or placed in special sound-proof containers and stowed in overhead racks. I much prefer the first solution as overhead space is already scarce. I find that having baby-free flights should be much more important than smoke-free cabins.

Babies and young children are human too.

To be honest, there is a simple solution. Just as they used to have smoking sections down the back of the aircraft, they really could assign passengers with infants into this area, preferably behind some kind of curtained screen to dampen the noise.
It seems a fair compromise.

If you want a child free experience in First/Biz then try these alternatives:
- Buy or hire a private jet
- Book out the entire First/Biz cabin
- Buy your own airline and introduce a no child policy in premium cabins
I've been taking my child in premium cabins since she was 6 months and I can say that on 95% of the 30+ flights she's been on in the past 4 years, she's been better behaved (i.e. quieter and less demanding) then many of her fellow passengers.
Incidentally, I will be taking her to LHR (in CX business) over the xmas period and one of the flights is in the not so child friendly 74A. Any "pro-child in premium cabin" fellow FT's that know if there 2 seats in the 74A that are just abit more child friendly based on experience?
