United Airlines will now allow families with small children to select seats next to each other at no additional cost, it announced Monday.

Beginning in early March, adults traveling with children ages 12 and under will have the option when booking their flights to select adjacent seats in the Basic Economy boarding class, and if there are no options there, United will search its system for conjoined, upgraded Preferred Seats.
