Stop it. You would not tell your kid not to travel with their family out of
consideration for the passengers on the flight they would be on.

Parents of course. Use your best judgement. It's a pretty simple concept.

What happens when you prepare all that backpack crap and the kid still screams?

This. Sometimes kids cannot be reasoned with, especially babies and toddlers.
