There should be a kids section on flights
Summary
A straphanger thinks there should be a kids section on flights, and Kareem immediately agrees. The conversation spirals from soundproofed airplane daycares to a bigger question: why is the world so unkid friendly when kids are "probably half the population"? They riff on restaurants for babies, gyms for babies, and special sections for pets too. The guest calls out fake service dogs ("No one has a service dog except for blind people"). Things get weird when someone declares dogs are haram. Then there's a tangent about a 50 gallon aquarium. Why can't you take that on a flight?

So, what's your take? There should be a kids section on flights.
100% agree. There should be a kids section everywhere, especially on flights. They're unhappy. Their parents are unhappy. Give them their designated play pen, soundproofed, equipped with all the toys and magical things that they could probably think of. And let the parents come visit.
Oh, let the parents come visit if they want.
I think the kids section should be parents and their children.
I mean, I'd just let leave the kids with adult with their own attendance.
Oh, like little daycare. A daycare on a plane. Literally, I think it's good for the kids. I'm not even saying this selfishly.
They don't even have milk.
Exactly.
They don't even have snacks and they're upright in this seat for like 8 plus hours. It's uncomfortable. They're screaming. I'm screaming. Put them in the kid section.
Honestly, it's crazy that the world is so unbaby friendly.
Yes.
Considering that everyone was a baby, we were all babies.
But the the world is so unkid friendly. Everything about everything about the world is built for adults, but kids are like probably half the population.
We need to like take them into account more.
There should be restaurants for babies.
There should be restaurants for babies.
There should be gyms for babies.
Yes. More things to engage with them like not just sending them off to daycare. It starts with the airplanes, but then it leads to like every facet of life. And then you think about why don't we have a special place for our pets to fly as well.
I agree because I feel bad for the animals.
Me too. But I don't like the people that are flying with their fake dog, their service dog.
What do you mean you don't like them?
No one has a service dog except for blind people. Everyone should buy a cat.
Everyone should buy a cat.
It would probably make the world a much better place.
Adopt, not shop, though.
Adopt. Don't shop.
Dogs are haram.
No, adopt them.
Dogs are haram.
I'm not saying that dogs are haram.
I once had a 50 gallon aquarium full of fish and it was the best period of my life.
Why can't I take that on a flight? You know what I'm saying?
