I have 2 under 6 and 2 under 17.

My younger children is 9 months (turns 1 in 2021). My other is 5years ( turns 6 in 2021) .  My other children are 9 and 12 years old 


As xmasbaby0 said above, the credit is based on the child's age at the end of 2021. So the one that turns 6 in 2021 counts as 6 years old, and only qualifies for the lower credit. You have only 1 child under 6, and 3 children ages 6 through 17.
