A380 first class Syd to LHR

Slightly related question. What would the best seats be in the first cabin for a couple travelling on this route with a baby. I was thinking 1k and 2f so we’re kind of next to each other rather than behind each other? Will they force us to use the bassinet seat in the last row?

Fly SQ First or suites, where you have enough room for the baby beside you

Thankfully there was enough room for baby and wife to sleep on the same bed. Agree with the bassinet, wasn’t even a consideration.
In short - I’d select your normal preferred seats in the F cabin
Ended up going 2f and 1k so we could be next to each other but the staggered configuration ruined it. Will do 2f and 2k in the return, even though still offset can see partner and baby by leaning forward or sitting in the jump seat.
