Or, as a considerate parent, buy it and put it on the seat in front of your little devil.

A buffer made of shock absorbing material that can clasped on to the back of an airplane seat

I'll have one for my car, one for my missus' car, and one just to whack [crash] if he doesn't TURN THAT BLOODY GAMEBOY DOWN!!!

Just turn around and say in a distinct voice: would you please stop kicking my seat? It annoys me.

It really works. Look 'm straight in the eyes mate.

I'm with [zeno] on this one, only do it with one of those scarily broad smiles on your face at the time - lot's of teeth. Make it look as though you *might* eat them.

I think that speaking without looking facilitates my staying alive.

We traveled w/ twin 4 yr old boys last December. We did all we could for our fellow travelers: Leap pads with headphones, colouring books, look at how the wing works, listen to the engine, etc.
I still wish they had a soundproof section for children.
"Um, Sweet, Beautiful, Lovely, Wife. I think I forgot my sanity back in the forward cabin right next to the stewardess' drink making section. If I could just step out for a minute to see if I could find it, please?"

I envisioned some sort of kung fu cheerleader, and man was my croissant ready. How disappointing.

Is a pirate voice distinct enough, or should I try the baby talk voice instead?

Use skirt to bind and gag kicker. Place kicker in overhead luggage for remainder of trip. Nap.
