I really need to test the SeatGuru.com crying baby section theory. I've never noticed crying babies in one specific area other than at the back. Parents seem to take them there to protect the important middle-of-the-plane people.
The "old people on oxygen" section is one to avoid as well. I flew in the crying-baby-and-old-people-on-oxygen section from SEA to LHR once. The babies were fine. Being blinding by the overhead light every time they had to unhook someone's oxygen tube during the night was enough to make my valium + wine red-eye cocktail all but useless.
There is a "baby section", in a way. If the child isn't in a seat -- i.e., is traveling on the lap of an adult -- there needs to be an extra oxygen mask in that row. Only certain rows have extra masks. Some planes don't have rows with extra masks -- on those planes, the seat next to the child & adult combo needs to be left empty to provide that extra mask.
