Why stop there? We need a "calendar" icon to pop up for any people who are "old" (I may qualify) and sit in the aisle seat. We need a "big heart" icon if the person is too big for the seat they have booked, so others can avoid sitting nearby. And how about a "reading light" icon if someone books a redeye but plans to read or work the entire flight. I'm sure we can think of other helpful icons to post in seats so us good people can avoid the inconveniences and discomforts others impose. /s
Earplugs or noise cancelling ear buds handle screaming babies, they are the least of my worries when flying these days. Mothers that think it’s OK to change a diaper on the tray table, or sitting next to a morbidly obese stinker, now that’s another story.

And overweight people because they might take up too much room. And people who needs to stretch their legs once an hour so I have to get up and let them out. Or the people who talk with their friends and family the entire flight. They should all sit in the back of the plane.
Babies are the least annoying thing on an airplane.
I've always joked about placing a screaming shield over a crying baby; something like an enclosed motorcycle helmet or a hair-drying dome like you see at a beauty salon. However, I've known the pains of an ear-ache from the change in pressure and can sympathize. I just make sure to bring my noise-canceling headphones.
I can tolerate the babies, I understand their purpose. I don’t understand anything that begins with “comfort”, especially those that bite, bark and poop

How about kid behind you doing leg presses on your seat while his mother wears noise canceling head phones.

or... 18hrs of screaming kids kicking my seat while parents sacked out 3 rows behind...
SIN-SFO direct
I tossed my noise cancelling Headset after than trip...
Even the FAs were totally baffled how parents could leave kids screaming and kicking for that flight (the kids also wore down on occasion) But kids did not become hoarse. (surprise!)
I really felt like reaching behind my seat and grabbing their foot and giving them something to scream about.
My wife and I were on a transatlantic flight and this baby was just screaming and screaming, finally my wife got tired of it and told them to put a blanket on the kid and something on its head (said very politely). it was freezing cold in the plane, the parents had pants, jackets, and the mothers a little hat thing, yet the baby had nothing but some legless and sleeveless thin cotton thing on.
They did it after a bit and the kid was quiet the entire rest of the trip. But it still baffles me how parents can sit their all bundled up, because it is cold, and be totally dumbfounded to consider their kid might be cold also.

We usually try to upgrade to first class typically you either don't find kids riding in that area because of the cost if I do never seen people who's children were a problem.
If we do fly coach I look for more expensive airlines instead of the cheapest tends to draw in the trashy people.
