I think Baby Seating is a good business idea, and it could be a good way to fill up an otherwise empty restaurant. On the other hand, I really do think if parents want a real "escape" it is less stressful for parents to get a babysitter and have a real "date night." I lived in NYC when my daughter was an infant, and once in awhile we'd take her out to a semi-fancy restaurant for dinner. It was always hit or miss. Sometimes I'd get the "I want a snack now!" cry just as the main entree was coming out, and I'd have to shuffle to the restroom to nurse her, leaving my husband to eat alone. Other times, she'd sleep through the entire meal and not bother a soul. After a while, we just stuck with diner-type restaurants when we had the desire to eat out.
