What is the Frontier seating policy for children?

Frontier's Seating Policy At least one adult flying with a child under the age of 14 will automatically be seated next to them without having to pay an additional seating fee. They must be on the same reservation for fee-free adjacent seating. Efforts to implement this policy have been in effect since October 2022.
