With all due respect, Ann, just because the kid is unable to carry his bag himself doesn't mean you have to do it for him. The parent can carry it onboard for him (and the kid can carry the camera bag, as suggested). Either way, the fact is that the kid is still entitled to an adult-size bag, as long as you don't have to lift one of your dainty fingers to make sure it gets on board.

I know, because my mother employed precisely this strategy many times when I was a kid, and it worked every time. She had been a flight attendant herself in a previous career, and she knew how the system worked.

Thank you for your input, however. And if you care to share which airline it is that employs you, I (and probably a few other readers here) would be greatly interested in sharing our business with them--in the VERY distant future.
