The whole kid thing on flights to/from the mouse house is the only thing I liked about the Southwest seating policy. An early group B boarding number was the best, better than boarding in group A. Between groups A and B all the families with kids boarded, so with an early group B number you could still find a decent seat, away from a bunch of seat kicking and screaming kids. With assigned seats, you have no control over the kid factor. I wish picking airline seats didn’t just show if seats are open or already selected, but also indicated both the age and weight of the occupants.
