I know my rights so queue a phone call to the Executive Club.

Me - "Hello. I'd like to book some seats for our flight"
blah, blah, blah....
Assistant - "Ah, but sir, these seats are for parents travelling with infants and you cannot book them"
Me - "DYKWIA - I am a Flyertalker and it is T-72 so I think you will find I can"
Assistant - "Well blow me so you can! You're booked in 15E and 15F but if a traveller with an infant does want them you will be moved"
Me - "I completely understand - thank you very much"

OK, this may have been embellished somewhat what effect but politely asking the agent to try as it was T-72 now has us in the seats we wanted with direct isle access. Yay
