On long-haul we did that a few times, bringing the car-seat (note the safety rules that apply for these).
The choice is therefore: seat then pay with award miles or no seat then pay 10% of the economy fare (not sure it is the lowest economy though).
Great to hear this is actually possible. I was thinking about this for some time, but then read the T&C carefully, where it was clear that it would not be allowed to book an adult seat for an under 2 yr old. Î also figured, however, that nobody would ever think about doubting that at checkin and that there wouldn't be a real problem.
In any case, this only works if selecting "adult" on the webiste or not mentioning the age of the infant to the FB booking center.
