I don't think I've ever read anything that suggests a young, non-handicapped, child is protected by any law that applies to discrimination against the handicapped.
I think your point is halfway valid. I think Airtran should require parents with a child under 5 purchase at least two seats.

So I did, because I'm not heartless.
), but they were both under a year, so I'm assuming they didn't have a paid ticket. Mom and Dad paid for two tickets, didn't bother to pay in advance to sit next to each other, and the babies sat on their lap for the duration of the flight.
