This idea was scrapped after some public polling, see:

Some blame the result of the polls on fears that the idea would give extra votes to the roma minority, who, on average, have more kids and larger families than the non-roma.

Some more background info: The population of Hungary is shrinking, which will cause big problems after some decades with regard to funding pensions and such (as you will have a shrinking working population having to finance the pensions of a growing populations of pensioners). Also, the retired pensioners form a large and easily mobilized voting force which means that politicians are forced to pander to their interest by raising pensions and such. The plan to allow children to vote (either directly or by giving extra votes to their parents) would help somewhat with both issues.
