Our boys (1yrs & 3yrs) both have blue EC cards. The older boy has been travelling as a "child" for some time and earning EC points & miles (number registered on each boarding pass). The younger "infant" has not since he has not had his own seat.

My question is whether children can attain Silver status given enough flights? Do they earn EC points at the same rate as adults? Or are they destined to stay blue until they start travelling on adult tickets?
