Just came back from our flight. The bad news - the QF attendants on my plane said they did not have the seatbelt attachment that @blackcat20 referenced, and didn't know that such a thing existed (to their credit, they did ask others in the crew). The good news, Little Pangwen managed to put on his seatbelt and was tall enough that the sash was not too uncomfortable. The child meal was also well received.

Overall, it went very well for LP's first flight!

It can't be used in J or F on widebodies (unsure about narrowbody J). I asked Qantas for confirmation on CARES usage in premium cabins in the past few weeks and received this:

If it's any consolation, it took a week to get a response - after we had departed....
