Oh! Good to know - this is our first trip with our new child, and I assumed I would get at least two companions for C+. Never mind then...

Yeah, I am slightly concerned about getting separated. To add to the weirdness, even if I booked the child as a lap infant and took the C+ upgrades, I might get downgraded since the trip is 2/4-2/11 and I will certainly lose my Platinum status after this year. Not sure if it's better to have a guaranteed 3-seats-together, or 2-with-maybe-extra-legroom (I'm tall...).
