^^^ The front half of the plane is for those who have paid ''exhorbitant'' amounts of money (often as much as a new car) to ''not'' be disturbed by screaming plane babies (and to receive other perks), and to the great credit of the airlines, some have already begun banning babies from their more expensive class cabins.

However, there is some potentially "evil" logic behind your suggestion that I do like. By requiring that the baby be seated at the ''front'' of the plane, you're also requiring the family to purchase the ludicrously expensive tickets for the business/first class cabins because those are at front of the plane. Such a change in policy from banning them from the higher class cabins to ''requiring'' them to be only in the higher class cabins could be a de facto ban due to the cost of tickets in higher class cabins, provided the airline doesn't do something stupid like offer a discount for families of babies; ''finally'' the rest of the flying public can travel in (relative) tranquility, with no screaming.
