You need to include the line number of the person in the merge. For the PR file that is in hvidx and for the BR or KR file it is in b16 (line number of child in household). Note that there are some children in the BR and KR files for whom b16 is 0, 99, or missing (.), because the child in the BR file either does not live in the household or is dead or had missing data - it is best to drop these before merging. Then perform a 1:1 merge to merge the data.
