If you can't decide, can you put down two deposits?

Bad idea...

What you are saying then is, " we like your school, but aren't completely sure , will you still take us if we flount your deadline ?

If I were them I'd move on as soon as teh phone call ended " NEXT kid"

No, I"m the poster who said she did this. Both schools were fine with it. They wanted my children to attend, and they were happy to let us have a few extra days.

Also, did you mean to write "flaunt?"

Mmm, no, the correct word is "flout."

Schools won't have a problem with you asking, and both schools are likely to say to an extension. If they say no, they won't hold it against you and you are no worse off. But no, don't hold two spots. It is selfish, it is wrong, and, if you care, it could backfire on you.

If you ever choose to back out of one of their contracts, you will see the fangs, but as for some delicate handling of your precious offer they are not that concerned.

what is your name ,PP, since you are so proud of your actions. Name please and school ?

A better choice would be to have your DS do another shadow day at both schools, if he is an older applicant. Since you don't have an opinion, let him choose.
