Yes - you can merge whatever variables you do/don't want. Just open the household recode, "keep" the variables you want there (and the variables for merging), and then merge that into the child recode (1:m since there can be multiple children in a single household). You could save the trimmed household file as an intermediate step if you want, but you don't have to, you can just directly merge it after dropping the unneeded variables.
