Children who have not reached an age of understanding are in no danger of going to hell.
Jesus himself said in Mark 10:13, "Let the little children come to me, and do not hinder them, for the kingdom of God belongs to such as these. I tell you the truth, anyone who will not receive the kingdom of God like a little child will never enter it."
It says nothing about being baptised, christened, or anything of the sort for a child to enter the kingdom of God.
Before a child has a sense of what's right and wrong I believe they are pre-saved.
Once one acquires a sense of right and wrong then they must make the choice to accept or reject Jesus in order to be saved.
