You might also consider ordering a fruit plate or vegetarian for your or his meal and then "sharing".
Hope it works out for you!
This has been our experience. HNL to SIN my daughter got 20 chicken nuggets and a HUGE bowl of fries- we were flying business elite, so apparently they decided that since we paid more, my 18 month old should get more. We had ordered the toddler meal. The worst was in domestic first (she scored an upgrade) when we ordered a toddler meal and received: 1 slice of toast, 2 waffles (with no syrup), a bag of potato chips, and some other carb that I cannot recall. It was so bad that the FA apologized. After these experiences we just go with the regular adult meal. They are more wholesome.
