infants can get GE... yes the parents assist. Both my children have it now and we always do it for them.

From the program's inception the policy was no piggybacks. Until they allowed under 14 to get their own GE, there were stories of agents letting a GE parent with a young child through at kiosk. Others not (stated policy was not to). OFten they would still give us front of the line if asked. It never hurts to ask.

But from the program's start it was one person, one dec, one kiosk. It is really not that difficult a concept I presume.
