Child with poor seat for As You Like It (2,5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

to taste

'as you like it' is the definition.
(according to one's taste)

'child with poor seat' is the wordplay.
'child' becomes 'tot' (term for a young child).
'with' is a charade indicator (letters next to each other).
'poor' indicates an anagram.
'seat' with letters rearranged gives 'aste'.
'tot'+'aste'='TO TASTE'

'for' acts as a link.

(Another definition for to taste that I've seen is " As per personal liking".)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
