I bought an airplane belt and trained my kids to use it by belting them to their chairs while watching TV. Anyone who made it through an episode of Blaze and the Monster Machines without taking off their belt got a sweet. The theme tune still triggers them. Pavlov’s passengers. When we boarded we had iPads loaded with Blaze and a bag of sweets.

There was a really good 'Travelling with Kids' thread on here not long ago, which had photos of the F bassinet seat with both options.

Strangely enough I was just about to post asking for advice in a similar situation. I have four F redemption seats return to Toronto in July/August (using two BA AmEx 2-4-1 voichers). Our kids will be 6 and 3 when we fly.
We have flown with them in CW on the same route in the bulkhead seats as suggested above, which was ideal. We'd have preferred that this time too, but there was no redemption availability.
I'm keeping a look out for CW seats, but in the meantime does anyone have any advice as to which seats would be best to allow us to supervise/assist the kids - particularly the younger one!

Well since we’re all talking about it, can someone wise please tell me if I’ve chosen correctly...
LGW to Orlando. Two adults, one 4 year old and one 18 month old. Four CW seats. First time in CW with the kids.
Outbound - BA2039 - 777 (3 classes) - 1D,1E,1F,1G. But who goes where?
Inbound - BA2036 - 777 (3 classes - but looks a bit different to the one above in the seat map) - 1E, 1F, 2E, 2F
Welcome advise on the preferred seating arrangement. Thanks!

as I've travelled myself few times with out infant and then toddler twins....I would suggest to consider Club World instead of F. I know F is a nicer cabin, but considering the fact you're traveling with family, we found much more convenient to travel in CW.
The twin middle seats are fantastic to create a private little area for you and the little ones.
Besides you would save on Avios, and maybe spend them on another trip for just you and your spouse...this time in F
