Westjet did that, on a flight we took last week...last 4 rows were all with kids under 2, including ours.
Not much extra gear, we prefer getting on last rather then first, meaning less time our little one is restricted for movement at her age which equals lessened fussing.
As for these parents, I side completely with the airline, and smell something fishy in their story to boot. Likely just ill-prepared, late, but trying to pass the blame on someone else.
Diapers can be changed on board if required, no need to stop at the bathroom if you know you're already running late.
Doing the social media thing by firing away with a ridiculously titled "blog" and running and crying to local media for sympathy/attention as soon as was physically possible, even after getting offered a refund from Alaska, and refusing it, is pathetic itself and reason alone why Alaska shouldn't have caved in.
