Wizz Air - travel with an infant

Has anyone got any experience of using Wizz Air with an infant? (Don't judge, my Dad booked and didn't realise how shi...terrible Wizz Air was!)
We are going on holiday in a few months with my then 8mo and flying Wizz Air. Their website only gives so much info, their bot chat doesn't answer my questions, and I begrudge paying the cost of upgrading to a better airline on call centre rates!! And yes, I'm getting good travel insurance sorted asap!

We are allowed one 'bulky' item for baby - travel cot will go in suitcase so ours will be a buggy.
I've heard the 'hack' of packing towels/nappies in the bag with a buggy - will they check? Has anyone done this with Wizz?

Infants get Priority boarding with 2 adults - I understand the why, but it would be far easier for my Dad and partner to board Priority, get everything settled and baggage in overhead etc, then I can walk around/keep baby entertained and change nappy right before boarding at the last minute (not sat on a cramped plane for 2hrs with a bored and cranky baby while everyone boards!) Does baby have to go on with the 2 Priority adults?

I know the second one is probably a yes - baby has to board but just wondering if anyone had any experience?
I plan on shoving towels in the buggy basket then folding and packing it all in the bag before boarding, with nappies/wipes picked up from Boots Click&Collect in there too, so it'll only be gate staff who may check it?
