Hitchhiking with children seems a big challenge. On the other hand side, it might seem that a hitchhiker with a child would have a certain advantage in being picked up.
Law
In many Western countries children have to be in special children car seats until a certain age (e.g. 7 in Australia). It's certainly a drag to carry these seats around while hitchhiking.
Safety
The road and especially the highway can be very dangerous. Make sure your child stays safe at all times.
History
Apparently, in Poland there were TV advertisements saying it was perfectly safe for children to hitchhike on their own until sometime in the 1970s.
