People with babies explaining to me that 'this is what happens' doesn't mean I have to accept it. I appreciate their info for sure. But we each choose what we sit back and accept and what we fight. I may not win but no-one but me gets to decide whether I try and fight the battle or not.
You can't as noted by others. Two people have said you can't reserve them.

Child seats and carrycots are supplied free of charge, but are subject to availability on-board the aircraft on the day. They will be given to the people sitting in the carrycot/child seat positions on a first-come, first-served basis.

The BSCT request is basically just an information for the crew that such cot or Britax seat will be required, but these items are handed out on a first-come-first-served basis. Therefore the SR element is not confirmed in advance. So please allocate the passengers suitable seats and advise them to ask for a cot or Britax seat on the airplane.
