Very good question. That would make sense, wouldn't it? To be honest, I haven't checked in the rear if they have done so. All I know I did check the difference between row 1 and rest of the front cabin on an AY A330. Also the at least middle seats in row 1 have some baby seat info stickers on the wall in front of them, so clearly Finnair has planned to seat babies there, not just a coincidence.
The seat belt airbag is the large bulge on the other side of the seat belt. I thought it was some kind of a cushion but closer inspection proved it is actually some sort of an airbag, that needs to be disabled when used with a baby seat (and for some reason Finnair doesn't seem to have the required special extenders for those seats, or didn't have on flights where I've noticed such use).
