Stewie is good with my niece and nephews for the most part. I have to watch my nephew Shaun around him because he is three and he likes to scream and run circles around Stewie. When he does that, Stewie tends to nip him on his feet, pants and sometimes hands. I am constantly saying "Shaun, please walk, don't run" or "You're scaring Stewie when you yell like that". The kid just needs to learn manners, period.
My nephew Zach is one year old and Stewie is very gentle and plays well with him.
Stewie tries tries to lick my newborn nephew Jack's feet all the time. He just loves baby feet I guess! I don't trust Stewie with him yet since Jack is only 7.5lbs and was kind of sick for the first couple weeks of his life.
Overall, I think it depends on the dog's persoality and temperment, but more so on the child's behavior and age. Everyone should make their own decision about their families.
Attached are photos of Stewie with my niece Alex (she's 8) and my cousin Jeffrey (10 years old)
