My thought is this: what if my family of 3 (wife and lap child) were to book one first class award ticket (wife) and one economy award ticket (me) and add a lap infant to my economy ticket. Then after getting on the flight, to have my wife come back and bring the infant to her seat.

Would that be allowed?

Your infant has no right to be in the F cabin without an F ticket unfortunately.
You perhaps may be able to sneak your infant in, but don't count on it.

Its unfortunate that AS does not allow for infant redemptions. The only ones that I can think of in OW off the top are QF (free) and BAEC (10% miles).
