I do lots of travelling with my 2, youngest is 11 months. Lots of good ideas here...

-check in 24 hours prior (exactly if possible) and as BT said, book an aisle and window. If it is full so be it, but if there is room you should be in good shape. A Friday to Mexico, it may well be full, but if you let me know where you are going I might be able to tell you a little better.

-And don't pre-board? I don't get that one at all. Getting to take an extra couple of minutes to get settled is great, as opposed to getting on at the end and having 130 other people watching and waiting as you get things sorted. Even worse if you are bringing the car seat. And the flight attendants have to brief you on traveling with the baby, and they can't do other required announcements until you are briefed, and that all has to be done before they can close the door. Boarding last with kids may not always hold things up, but it will often.
