I have seen a child sitting in the pilot's seat on a U.S. domestic flight while boarding a plane a few months ago. Before the plane is away from the gate, there is probably no restriction.
Disallowing passengers access to the cockpit is likely the most meaningful post-9/11 change to preventing aircraft hijackings.
