My sister's niece has four very young children, and she and her
husband take them on a great many airplane trips. She said they get
some "dirty looks" from other passengers when they board the plane with
four youngsters, but they often get grateful comments when they exit.
Each parent sits with two children, and they take great care to keep the
children entertained and quiet.
