Before worrying about children being around, I carried +1 as I wanted to be fully prepared for any encounter. In my opinion, carrying safely in a state where you're ready to go for any eventuality is optimal.
But again, this should be considered given your surroundings, training, experience, comfort level and if it can be done safely. Truly a personal preference and it will be different from person to person.
Just as there is no perfect gun, there is no perfect way to carry either as it's all about what works for you, your situation and what can be done with safety first.
