Also, confirmed with Aeroplan. You can purchase infant ticket separately by calling the airline directly and then requesting the seats together.

We did multiple TPACs and several Canada-US flights from 2 months to 22 months..... On average we did a trip every 4-6 months or so.....
Problem with paying for infant tickets is some airline uses full fare basis to calculate 10%, which may end up similar to a regular fare.
Also Aeroplan's $100 or 10,000 miles flat rate to add an infant is a pretty sweet deal for overseas travels (not so much for North America)

Honestly, I still don't see how buying a separate ticket for kiddo is 'safer'...... For me, we ended up having to hold GHT Jr, because he couldnt sit still regardless of his own seat or being seated with us.
