Afterthought

For those who do not hold to the Covenant of Redemption in the paedo-scheme: Does your two-covenant view make it more difficult to see the federal principle (head representing his seed) with respect to believers and their children, and if not, could you please explain how?
For example, under the Covenant of Redemption scheme, it is easy to see that under the CoR, Christ represents His seed (the elect), while under the CoG, professing believers represent their seed (their children), and so both fall under the Covenant administration. But under the two-covenant scheme, it seems like this is obscured a bit. Christ is the head of the CoG and represents His seed (the elect), but it is harder to see the same principle applying to professing believers and their children because there is no other covenant for a professing believer to be the head of.
