Mom Involved In Second Airplane Baby Seat Dispute In A Month Consumerist
Remember the woman who almost got kicked off a Skywest flight over a dispute about her infant’s baby seat? Well, the same woman was removed from a United Airlines flight earlier this week for allegedly causing think through math a disruption.
This latest incident occurred while boarding a Unifted flight from San Francisco to Honolulu and involved concerns over whether or not her child’s seat would be able to fit into the narrow economy-class row.
[The mom] said she called a United customer service executive two weeks before the Honolulu flight to ask what she needed to do to make sure she’d be able to use the infant carrier. She said she was told to simply to let United employees know when she checked in, which she did. But when she boarded the Boeing 777, she discovered the rows in economy seating were too close together to accommodate the Graco Snug Ride infant carrier, which is approved for airline use.
However, the mom says she wasn’t being disruptive and that she only took a picture because the FAA inspector in the earlier Skywest incident had asked if she had photo documentation of that situation.

This consumer had EVERY RIGHT to take those photographs after calling ahead and being told the wrong information. The one who should be punished is the dumb ass airline employee who lied to her. THEY are the ones who caused this situation, NOT ber. But that doesn’t think through math stop morons think through math like you from flaming other consumers instead of helping them. I hope the next time you get screwed other people laugh at you and drag you down and get you on the no fly list as well.
There have been several articles about people undeservedly ending think through math up on the no-fly think through math list, I’m think through math assuming that this comment think through math is a tongue-in-cheek commentary based on the ease of ending up on that list for silly or nonexistent offenses.

Why? so that an infant in a safety seat won’t have to be relocated? Perhaps we should lock all kids up in a dark room until they are 18? Did your parents ever take a trip with you, or did they lock you in a windowless room.
I’m sick of people talking about how they “need to have a life” after a kid is born. That child *IS* your life. *NOTHING* else matters. think through math *YOU* have a kid, *YOU* suffer the consequences of child-rearing.
When I was growing up, we took at least one family vacation a year. Each trip was by car, as my parents were afraid to fly, but you learn how to behave when you are stuck in a car for 1200 miles each way.
I have 2 kids, they have been on many long trips by car (2.5 days drive time), plane 12hr flights), boat (1 week) and train (overnight trip). With each trip, we brought appropriate activities for the kids to do while in transit and made sure to plan our departures to coincide with the child’s schedule think through math when they were an infant/toddler (i.e. if the child is always fussy at noon, we don’t schedule ourselves to be on the plane at noon if we can help it). Yes, occasionally the kids may have kicked the back of your seat, or been a bit too loud (but that business executive kept rummaging through his laptop bag under my seat and would not stop yelling into his phone…so not much difference), but we as parents addressed the issue (it did not happen again during the trip) and apologized as necessary. think through math We plan our activities based on how the kids are acting think through math that day. If they seem overtired, we will change our plans and go back to the hotel early to get a good night’s sleep, but if they are in a good mood we might do something special for them. These trips have taught my kids how to properly act in social situations, whether they are eating at McDonalds or a 5 star restaurant, and whether they are spending the night at a Holiday Inn or a luxury resort, a skill that they will keep with them for the rest of their life. A skill that some people apparently did not learn when they were young.
Just because a family has a child does not mean that they can no longer take a FAMILY vacation. I do agree that parents need to take care of their children as their number 1 priority, but banning them from planes, trains and hotels as you seem to suggest because you MIGHT hear a short cry from an infant is insane.
Ok, as a 24 year old with a 3 year old and another on the
