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.

It is noted on ba.com:

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.
It is also noted on the speedbirdclub site:

https://www.speedbirdclub.com/nl/res...g/infantseats/

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.
