That is incorrect.
I have a child fare active right now (roughly a 30% discount off the adult fare AND exempt from some taxes) from SFO-MAN. Below, I show the base fare which show the difference for the same far basis code:
For adult:
Fare 2: Carrier VS XHP75US MAN to SFO (rules)
Passenger type ADT, round trip fare, booking code X
Covers MAN-SFO (Economy)
$284.50
For child:
Fare 2: Carrier VS XHP75US MAN to SFO (rules)
Passenger type CNN, round trip fare, booking code X
Covers MAN-SFO (Economy)
$213.38
