Children having their own seat on a packed train.

[user1493559472]

I am on a packed train. A child who is about 3 years old is sat in their own seat and not on the parents lap, would you ask to sit down and the child sits on parents lap? People were standing.
Thank you

Why don't you just talk to them about stuff you can see out of the window? Entertaining and doesn't involve annoying toys (which most of them are now).

Because that only works for so long with some children, especially if we're talking about long train journeys.

Seriously?! How much can you see out the windows when trains are going fast?!

I don’t remember taking any annoying toys?! Usually drawing or some little figures. But often something will get dropped or they’ll argue over pens….and with a three year old on lap with a few bags, hot and stuffy - no thanks.

but please go ahead and chat to all the kids about the blurs out the window.

Given the context of the post you were replying to, it’s not an impossible (or ‘weird’) assumption to make.

Rightio.

This. Small children are less steady on their feet. I don’t see why a small child should not have a seat?

Finally!
Just to clarify, I understand the points you think* *you're making. I just don't agree.
Tschüss. ✌️

Nice use of stars.

(You don't agree that having a small child sitting on your lap is more comfortable than having a grown adult sitting on your lap? okaaaaay.)

No
