Choosing the right seats for a family can make a world of difference.

According to findings fromAirAdvisor, the best place to sit when traveling as a family is the bulkhead row.

But what if youre not flying one of these big planes or your child isnt an infant?

You may find the extra legroom isnt worth having no items at your feet.

This makes it difficult to have an easy-access bag for things like toys, diaper bags, etc.

Its also worth noting that not all flights offer bassinets, so check that to check with your carrier.

(They can only keep what they can hold in their and your hand.)

But theres another reason why a bulkhead may not be the best seat for you and your family.

For those in potty-training mode, sitting next to a bathroom is also a good idea.

Children still in diapers can also benefit from being near the bathrooms.

She notes that airplanes do have changing tables, and to not change your childs diaper on the seats.

Dont be that person.

Speaking of younger children, children under 15 are not allowed in the exit rows.

The reasoning is because gate agents are there to assist with seat placement and ticketing.

Once youre on board, flight attendants can’t force people to move around.
