There's no need for an infant ticket to Canada on domestic airlines, it can be done at checkin for free or for a few dollars.

Not sure about CX though, anyone have experience?

What would be the worst case scenario? That I would have to pay the 10% at the airport?

I'm sure someone has flown CX with an infant, search online.
But otherwise better to use BA and use 10% of the miles.

I am sometimes accused of overthinking things. I am still mulling over whether that accusation has merit.

No. On some airlines a lap child flying international is 10% of fare. AFAIK car seat always pays full fare.

If the airline has open seats they may let you bring it on, but you would only find out at the gate. SW is usually very good with this.

Of course. If you want a guaranteed seat you'll have to pay for it. Otherwise, if the flight is not full they'll likely let you bring the car seat on board

Does BA charge 10% miles premium for domestic flights on American?  My wife got charged that but I thought it was only for INTL.  Is there anyway around it (ie by calling American and adding baby later?) Thanks

They do charge if you add it to booking. When flying domestic, just add at airport.
