That's correct for *G pax on NZ, but not on UA.

When UA last changed their international baggage policy (effective for tickets purchased on or after Sept 7, 2005) the checked baggage allowance for *G pax for for international coach remained the same: 3 bags, maximum 70 pounds/32kg each.

Since the parents in this family are both *Gold, flying UA permits them to check up to 6 bags of up to 32Kg each. If they flew with NZ, their limit would be 6 bags of up to 23Kg each.
