This is a good example of what happens when you let free markets do what they will to make a profit or just survive. I don't really blame airlines for that too much. (Most) passengers aren't willing to pay the extra few bucks to have service that will prevent this. The demand (for a smarter flight map) is low so the supply is low. It works for most other things, such as stereos, but airlines are not the typical product one buys at a retail outlet.
Now if an airline has figured out how to be child passenger map friendly and yet retain optimal demand for premium seats, that will be profit not to mention a marvel. I am open to any ideas for improvement that will not come at a cost.
