If while traveling child is 2 years or 13 years

When buying a ticket to both sides, many are faced with a situation where while traveling child is two years (or 13 years). But in this case would have to pay for the ticket?
The answer to this question depends on the airline. They can be divided into 3 categories:

allow some flights in both directions at the rate for children up to 2 years (INF);
others are asking to buy 2 different ticket for a flight “there”, at the rate of INF, and the “back” – at the rate of CHD (children from 2 to 12 years), or just buy a ticket to both sides at the rate CHD.
the third asked to book tickets in both directions at the rate for children over 2 years old.

If the child is 2 years old, but it flies at a rate of INF, then you need to book a seat for him.
