I asked this question on the China board. I think it really is a personal question. I also got some PMs on this topic as well. People have taken small children 4 to China and had a good experience with them. They wanted to make it a family thing.

Also, sometimes it isn't possible to leave your child at home with someone else. I know in our case, we could not leave our child with anyone.

Of course, ask your agency because some agencies do not allow it, and other agencies are fine with it.

Good luck to you!
