Whether you’re on your way to an important business trip or just any other leisurely flights for vacations, it becomes a nightmare to be seated or be near a crying-not-contented child. It’s known for a fact that toddlers and infants don’t behave the way other people and adults expect them to behave. Excessive noise, screaming, wailing and tantrums blow off the tops of other passengers as well.

Tracy Stewart of Airfarewatchdog.com and the rest came up with an idea to separate the toddlers from the other passengers, if not, have another section on commercial planes that divides the passengers with kids from those who doesn’t have.

Sure, it is going to take a lot of time and effort for such idea to be implemented. For now, here are tips they want to share for short time remedies. 

1. Bring along in-ear headphones, not all airlines have those.
2. Try to sit near the exit rows. Tots can’t sit in exit rows; you’ll be sure no little feet kick your seat.
3. Take early morning flights available. Only few parents can manage to organize, bathe, dress up and feed infants and toddlers in time to catch early morning flights.
4. Speak up. Talk to the guardian of the offending child, politely but firmly. This doesn’t work all the time, nearest to your last resort is to upgrade your seat.

And if all else fails, it leaves you no choice but to bear with it.
