I'm know there are Credos on the forum better qualified to answer your questions, but since you hadn't gotten much response on this end, here's my 2 cents:
I do consider my children as heirs to the promise and so different than children of pagans. So I follow the idea of presumptive election and
tell them that "God loves them and has a wonderful plan for their life" (Campus Crusade reference).
I'm just waiting for them to publicly proclaim their faith before letting them be baptized.
What exactly does this entail since not every covenant child comes to faith and therefore He is not their Savior?
It entails raising them to call God their God, Christ their Saviour, the Spirit their Comforter, and the church their family, with the duty to walk in faith, hope, love, repentance, obedience, and perseverance to the end.

Doesn't the Reformed Baptist do the same thing though?

If he does the same thing, i.e., brings up his children in the profession of the faith, nothing hinders the child being baptised.
Except for the child not offering up a confession of faith.
What are the promises unique to them?

Doublespeak!
Not as far as we are concerned, we have a different view of the use of the word Christian here and a different way of which we see one as a disciple of Christ. Non-confessing children are not seen as disciples and are not born Christian in our view regardless if they have Christian parents, which is why we do not baptize them.
