Strange question. I don't really care who sits in the right seat,
although I've never flown children. I don't think I'd like a child in
the front, they mess with stuff. I even let pretty much anyone fly...my
brother once made a 90 degree turn in IMC and it was the highlight of
his month (and a near heart attack for me).

Flying kids can be fun though; ever volunteered to fly 'Young Eagles'?
In my (limited) experience, they don't mess with stuff when flying;
actually the only really disruptive passengers I have had were
adults, folks who cannot stand the idea of not being in control,
not kids. What surprised me a couple of times is that even when
offered to fly the aircraft, some people decline, either not
interested, or worried about breaking something (even when assured
that it wouldn't be the case); I cannot imagine declining to play
with the controls if offered to do so aboard any kind of machinery!
but may be is it just me :-)

Sometimes I sit in the right seat, even solo.

that's what I do these days; still trying to finish this
CFI thing started an awful long time ago.

One thing I never do is fly in the back. I have been airsick back there
once, I feel a loss of control,

I have done that a couple of times on CAP flights and quite frankly
I don't enjoy it very much for the same reasons; it might not be
so bad if I were just a passenger enjoying the view, but I was
busy doing stuff in the back (plotting things on charts, taking
pictures, working on the laptop) and I was not really happy at the
end of the flights...
