I flew a month back with Qantas and decided if I fly again anytime this year with Maddy (whilst she is under 2 and therefore on my lap) I would definately do my darndest to get not only an aisle seat but also one at the bulkhead. I managed to get the aisle seat in the front row behind business class and there was SO much more leg room, plus the toilets were nice and close and you didn't have people squeezing past you constantly.
