This is one of those questions that someone in your position could legitimately answer either yes OR no, depending on how they interpret it, as you said yourself. I think in your place, whichever you choose, I would include a covering letter pointing out that you yourself meet the criteria, and that therefore, your partner and child are also entitled to PR, under RV1.20.
