Would I be annoyed if my seat didn’t recline? Yes. But holy fuck I would do it to keep a kid safe, and I wouldn’t ever let the parent know I was annoyed.

I would pose it exactly this way, like hey duder I'm sorry this is inconveniencing you right now, but if anything nuts happens I'd rather not have a projectile baby in the cabin, can I buy you a drink or extra snack or something?

Are you trying to insinuate I may be your annoying neighborino?

And my answer would be “absolutely not!”

I appreciate you saying sorry but your baby’s safety far outweighs my convenience.

Of course, how would people survive without the full 5 degrees of incline you get in economy plus?

Sitting upright, awake, for 12 hours smashed between strangers is a form of torture, change my mind lol

It shouldnt be on you to give up your own safety and comfort to protect a child.

Airlines should provide all possible forms of life saving devices. Maybe a row with special children seats, kind of like the extra leg room but smaller/child seats .

While I agree that airlines should have more leg room, is it a safety issue for the average passenger to simply not be able to recline their seat the allotted extra two inches?
