On the other hand, while I couldn't find chapter and verse on this on the current website, at least previously VA had the policy of applying infant fares for the whole journey as long as the child was under two when they started. (Emirates, as you note, charges a full child fare for the return.)
BA is the opposite of EK in this respect; they will charge you the infant fare for the entire trip if the child in question turns two between the outbound and inbound...something to think about depending on the EK and VS pricing and your preference to do one long haul or two. They also offer PE all the way through.
