Ticket prices for children are reduced. You can buy them on the day, after queuing or you can buy them at the same time as your adult fast-track tickets online. If you have small children then you need to think carefully about whether to take the stroller inside the museum with you. There is no disputing that the museum will be busy, having a stroller to steer and work through the crowds might be considered too stressful for some but can be a godsend for others. In the busy interior it is worth remembering that your childs view will probably only be tourist legs for their entire trip from the pushchair.
If your child is small then perhaps a backpack style carrier might be more flexible an idea. If you do not take the stroller inside and leave it at the entrance cloakroom, then there is a lot of walking involved at the Vatican Museums, so be prepared for a lot of carrying yourself, as their legs quickly tire. If they are at the age where they would rather be chasing birds around St Peter's Square, then going into the Musuems might prove too much for them and for you.
Before you book, consider one of the tours, which might be a better fit as it can help to entertain them, although most tours will take the full amount of time to get through the treasures inside, so do check its length.
The other choice is to forego all the other museum treasures and head straight for the Sistine Chapel. The walk alone to get to the Sistine Chapel takes you through the museums and can take 30 minutes, you would be missing an awful lot, but you would get one of the showcase attractions ticked off your list. At the end of the day only you know what is best for your young kids, you may feel they will get more from other areas in Rome at their age and then throw your coins into the Trevi Fountain to make sure you return when they are older.
St Peter's Square is free if you queue and is a large space, whilst visiting St Peter's Basilica is something kids of any age will enjoy. If your kids are older, then the Museums are certainly fasinating enough to keep them entertained. There are areas that kids will find more interesting and as with all museums and especially the Vatican, inspiration is around every corner.
