    Yikes...I hadn't even thought about that.

    I don't have kids, so I guess I didn't think of it from the kids'/parents' point of view, just from the point of view of looking for more space.

    I tend to chose to sit by the window and raise the window side armrest. I get an addition 4 inches or so of room and don't encroach on my neighbors space and get the full storage area under the seat in front of me.

    I am 5'8, 388lbs and fit in the seats on the airline I work for. Whenever they board special needs I always get on with them like that I can ask for an seat belt extender and make myself comfortable before anyone else boards. You should have no problems but I would not recommend sitting in the middle. Happy Vacationing to you!
