Sooo not true. I only use PH, and that's to amuse myself and make enemies.
The idiots who design small childrens clothing, can they not just agree on a simple system, like label at the back, buttons at the front. And just stick with it. The number of times I try and dress the baby and end up with something that looks like an Egyptian mummified cat. It's a nightmare.

not to mention the whole idea of babies having multi-pocketed cargo pants or shirt pockets for all the stuff a baby needs about his person
I don't know, have you seen how much carry on baggage the average child takes on a flight with them?!!?Checkouts at COOP.
Staffed by old people who have forgotten the working populace don't have all day to stand and chat about their latest rinse, the fact the sun is out (in summer), or when they are finishing their shift so they can amble home and feed the cat.
Frequented by old people who invariably smell of 2 day old urine, pack items as if they are toddlers and then struggle to find £2.87 in their purse among all the Green Shield stamps, farthings and fluff.

If I'm paying for a seat for a kid, I'm taking the overhead space too 
and a baby on your lap still needs a bag of baby stuff and/or a pram, that's what the 20 quid or whatever is paying for

Just flying (and ALL travel, come to that) full stop. and a baby on your lap still needs a bag of baby stuff and/or a pram, that's what the 20 quid or whatever is paying for

I couldn't care less if I've got a window or an aisle, I just want to get on and off, have a half decent meal, a cup of GOOD tea, not have bursting eardrums, and avoid passport control (at both ends) and baggage reclaim, and duty free, and the s
tty restaurants, and be left in peace to catch up on GoT or whatever box set I'm on. I don't care what's out of the window, or in knowing what the weather is like at the other end, I'll see it soon enough. I'm sick of the sight of fking planes. And immigration forms. I swear I fill them out and no fker looks at them. Ever. Travel sucks. All airports look, sound and smell the same. Even the lounges have uncomfortable seats, and are generally full of loud obnoxious tts (usually Oriental in my experience, probably relatives of Kim Jong Fun) and their kids so are just as well avoided. I'd even take a small scale plane crash to alleviate the boredom. I am homesick.

Oh that's the other thing, Trunkies! The bloody things, kids didn't used to have carry on cases, now they do except the adults stuff them full of adult stuff so in fact they have about 4-5 cases in the overhead luggage rather than one per adult.
My kids are mostly grown up now but we used to get them to take carry on baggage when small. In it, we did not put "adult stuff". We put games, books, pens, toys, sweets - anything to keep the little buggers occupied and happy on a flight. We did this as a service to our fellow travellers (few parents seem to bother). A happy child is quiet, stays in one place and doesn't annoy the crap out of the people around it. It also was a significant pain for us - we'd have to help them choose the contents and pack these bags. We'd have to herd them like recalcitrant goats through terminals with bags that they'd sometimes want to pull, at other times they'd want to abandon, at other time use as weapons against their siblings.
