URGENT - help needed with infant booking on easyjet

Options
Want to make a booking today before prices change, so need some urgent advice!

We are a couple with an infant, for the sake of argument, call us Joe Bloggs, Jane Bloggs, and lets say the infant is David Steven Bloggs.

When I try to make the booking, the system acknowledges that 2 adults and 1 infant are flying, but when entering the passenger details, it simply has spaces for Passenger 1 and Passenger 2, but nowhere to enter the infant details.

However, where you enter Passenger 1's title, you can choose Mr + infant, or Mrs + infant, whereas Passenger 2 is simply Mr or Mrs.

Obviously I will have to choose Mr/Mrs + infant for passenger 1, but in the space for the first name of Passenger 1, should I simply put the adults first name, or both the adult's and infant's first names.

Don't want to get this wrong as I know changing details can be expensive and don't want any issues at the airport!

As far as I can see, my options for passenger 1 are:

Mr + infant, Joe, Bloggs
Mr + infant, Joe + David, Bloggs
Mr + infant, Joe + David Steven, Bloggs

(Obviously I could also have Mrs + infant as passenger 1, with Jane instead of Joe)

There must be people who have booked with an infant with easyjet before, so some advice would be most appreciated!

    I think they are just wanting to know if the infant is sat with you or your partner. From memory I booked Easyjet flights before my daughter was born. She was just infant on the booking and the only time I had to provide any further details was when I added the API because we were flying to Spain. Yes, it is the adult's name you add in the space.

    From their live chat just now:

    [Me] when booking for an infant I select passenger one as "Mr plus Infant" Do I then enter both passenger and infants names in the box for christian name or just passenger's name?
    [Greg] hi
    [Greg] yes, you should choose Mr+inf, but please put only the adult's name
    [Greg] after you make the booking please contact us back and we will add infant's name

    Hi...

    I can confirm that fifeken is correct.

    I entered my name+infant name and when I entered check in online details my Christian name is now "first name + Infant Name".

    I have sent a query through to Easy jet but I hope they dont charge me for a name change and ticket difference otherwise this will cost me a fortune.
