The only place children (and minors) cannot be seated is in the exit row. The same goes for anyone physically unable to operate the emergency equipment / exit doors; or is otherwise incapable (for example, there is a language barrier).

Other than that, children are allowed on all sections of the aircraft where passengers are allowed. I have personally been on a flight with toddlers and infants in business class.

The link you have posted is just a marketing thing; just like some airlines fly business-only flights to certain destinations.
