Aeroplan mis-pricing child ticket?
Has anyone faced issues with booking child ticket on points?
When I book 3 adults + lap infant for CDG-VIE-YYZ with stopover it adds up as 103.6k x 3 + 2.5k (lap infant) + 15k (3x 5k for stopover) = 313,300 points
When I book 2 adults + 1 child + lap infant for same route, same flights, same days, it comes out at 103.6k x 2 + 182.6k (child, seemingly includes a 3x 31,333.333 = 94k points stopover fee) + 2.5k (lap infant) = 392,300 points
I suppose I can just book 3 adults and put my kid as the 3rd adult right?

I haven't seen this issue but have never travelled Aeroplan with a lap child.
OP you said "seemingly" the extra points are in the stopover fee. Do you see those #s broken down anywhere? I can't remember if fare cost breakdown shows as a last step on points bookings or just cash.
But yeah, book as an adult if cheaper then call to fix birthdate.
