Also, up to what age/stage would you give kitniyos?

Rabbi Felder said "if they don't have what to eat you can give kitniyos". - doesn't sound so permissive....

What type of coating? Corn starch? There's no mekor for not having your food come into contact with Kitniyos. Something else?

Quote from: Rabbi Blumenkrantz in Pesach Digest App
With the paper plates, the rawboard is starched (with corn starch). The paper is then coated on one side with a polymer emulsion. The food will not make contact with the starch unless it is very hot. The polymer emulsion is a functional barrier and will not permit food to make contact with the starch unless it is very hot and the polymer melts. For practical purposes even though there is reason to permit the good quality plasticized paper plates with hot foods or with cold foods, nevertheless my suggestion would be to stay away completely from any paper plates and cups, and only use plastic plates and cups.
Please remember that the plain white paper plates should NOT be used for hot or cold since you are actually placing the food on the raw board, which has the starch.

Emphasis mine

But what's the mekor of not having your food come in contact with Kitniyos (as opposed to eating Kitniyos)?

My guess is that it is listed as questionable for granola itself which could have been made dry but not granola bars.

I hear that. I guess oats can become Chametz like any other grain, so makes sense.
