• Children and Infants: There are 3 fields on the booking form for occupants that are often labeled – 'Adults', 'Children' and 'Infants'. These are labels that can be changed in SETUP | SETTINGS | BOOKING ENGINE SETTINGS. Booking Engine Settings. Many properties turn off the labels for Children and Infants and change the label for Adults to Guests.
  
  •  "Adult rates pertain to all guests over X years old" (GDS). If you give a reduced rate for Children, this field determines the age of Adults. When guests make bookings, the system will ask how many occupants. The number of occupants controls the maximum number of guests that can be booked into a specific room type and it may determine price if you use 'Per-person' pricing.
  • No 'Children' Allowed – tick this box if you do not differentiate rates for adults and children. In fact, Children probably are allowed; this will simply turn off the box on the booking form asking how many Children.
  • No Infants Allowed – same as above; tick this box if you do not differentiate rates for adults and Infants. In fact, Infants probably are allowed; this will simply turn off the box on the booking form asking how many Infants.
