Part of your decision may depend on how much luggage you have, do you want to go economical or not, do you feel comfortable taking new means of transport...
The RBus and AF shuttle will drop you off at Metro locations in central Paris, so you could either take a taxi from there or the Metro.
Time of day might also guide your decision. RER will get you into town without any delays. Once again, the RER will intersect with Metro lines, so you can either then hop on Metro or exit and walk/cab

Children under 4 ride free. Children 4-11 pay half price.
Best does not = inexpensive. Best is a taxi IMO. No way I'll ever schlep through the RER and metro with kids and luggage again. Once was enough. Others will have different opinions.

Take a taxi. It's really the best bet with kids. You do not want to be dragging luggage through the RER and transferring, which you will need to do to get to the 7th. If you are staying near the Invalides, the Air France buses from CDG will drop you off there, but I believe it is about 13 euros pp (may be less for kids, although I don't know). For that price, you can take a taxi and get to your front door. If you are coming from the US, your kids will be tired and cranky...take the cab. You won't save much money doing any other method anyway. Just my opinion. I live in the 7th with 2 kids and we always take a cab.
