A couple of years ago, we were seated in the row just before the emergency exit. My son who was 2 at the time was riding in his car seat. The airline knew we were using the car seat and they still sat us there. Not only do the seats not recline, they need to flip forward to place the emergency exit door on top of. His car seat would obstruct this procedure if an evacuation was necessary. About 15 mins before we landed, we had to get up out of our seats and switch seats with the people in the row in front of us! What a hassle! Something else to note about the emergency row seats.

About 'SeatGuru', do they only work for North American (I mean booking a seat)? I know that in CX, they normally preserve the emergency exit seats for people who has been trained to open those door (unless the flight is full). I also agree that try not to check-in any baggage. I had an unpleasent experience recently as Eastjet didn't send my baggage until 18 days after I arrive home! It was a nightmare and they had even broken something as well! Bad!
