If children are traveling for free, they don't have a baggage allowance. So any baggage for the child counts as part of the adult's baggage allowance.

Cabin-seat Baggage
Traveling with something too large and/or too fragile to check or put in the overhead bin? You have the option of purchasing a ticket at the best available fare for your fragile item. You can then store your item in any passenger seat with a physical bulkhead or divider in front of the compartment. Contact Reservations for fee information.

Not exceed 100 lbs. (45 kgs).
Not restrict access to, or use of, any required emergency or regular exits or aisle of the cabin.
Not obscure any passenger's view of the seatbelt, no smoking, or exit signs.

Guitars and other smaller musical instruments, such as violins, will be accepted as your free carry-on baggage item on Delta and Delta Connection® carriers flights¹. These items must easily fit in the overhead bin or other approved storage location in the cabin, based on available space at the time of boarding. Musical instruments may be gate claimed at the discretion of the passenger and as a result of limited overhead space.

Please see the Delta Airlines Musical Instruments information page for more detailed information.

What Instruments Might Need Their Own Seat?
You may purchase a full fare ticket for an item that you feel is too fragile to be handled as checked baggage. You may stow the baggage in any passenger seat with a bulkhead or divider in front of the compartment. The following restrictions apply. The item must:

Not exceed 100 lbs. (45 kg)
Be packaged or covered in a way to avoid injury to other passengers
