As for having kids or babies it's a bit of a generalised comment but safe to say many in the US don't regard lounges as being a place you take your kids.
The context is that compared to LAX (with it's incredible Star Alliance lounge) and SFO (with it's fantastic Polaris lounge) the lounges at ORD (and Houston) are decidedly meh.

The lounges are one of the one of the reasons why I will now choose SFO or LAX to fly out of in J if I have a choice - they are just infinitely superior. If I wasn't for some reason flying out in J, then I'd look to avoid SFO too.
