Family Railcard - age restrictions

I have just bought a new F&F railcard and will be travelling as a family in October. My son who is curently 15 will turn 16 in September and a little bird told me that he can still travel as a child using the railcard provided he was under 16 at the time it was bought. Could anyone verify or deny this before I go booking 2 adults/2 kids only to be charged a fortune on the day because I should have bought him an adult ticket?

(We do also have another child so the travelling with at least one child in the party will be convered either way)

Many thanks
Katyk
