Help Arcos vs Ronda

hello we are travelling to spain for 2 weeks in march in the andulicia area. we have 2 small children age 5 and 2. We are thinking of skipping arcos and just visiting ronda. Although we do have 2 extra days available it just seems hard to go there with children.
We are arriving in Granada (3 days)
going to Ronda(2 days) then we can go to Arcos (bus) or go to Cordoba (train) and finish and fly out from seville. (we are using public transportation)
My question is the bus ride from ronda to arcos then arcos to seville on very windy roads. Therefore we could leave arcos and just take the train from ronda to cordoba.
Sounds confusing! need help

I would choose the last option leave Arcos and just take the train from Ronda to Cordoba.

Don't know about the transport issue but while Arcos is a beautiful place there isn't a whole lot to do there and you wouldn't be missing out too much if you dropped it from the schedule.

The road Ronda to Arcos is good and not winding, if you make sure you take the bus that passes by Algodonales, Villamartin and Bornos.
Arcos to Seville, no winding either. But I agree there's not much to do and see in Arcos you have not seen in Ronda, and in Cordoba you'll have the chance to visit the Mezquita-Catedral.

I would choose Ronda over Arcos, particularly since you're traveling with two little ones, and take the convenient train from Ronda directly to Córdoba.
