Personally I do not like hand sanitisers as alcohol is one of the ingredients too. However, comparing both hand sanitisers and rubbing alcohol, I will choose hand sanitiser over rubbing alcohol as it is more gentle to kids' skin. I would choose to let my kids to wash hands whenever it is possible. If there is no access of water tape in e.g. shopping mall, I will just use wet wipes to wipe their hands throughout.

I think I would rather use my baby's wet wipes than either the hand sanitiser or rubbing alcohol since I will be carrying wet wipes anyways. It's clean, and safe for kids and I wouldn't need to carry an extra bottle of hand santiser or alcohol in my bag. Otherwise I would just bring my child to the toilet to wash off like Diana suggested.

Hand sanitizer make your skin dry and it killed all bacteria in your hand (even the good one!) The best way to clean hand is with soap and water. that's it

Handwashing is the best. But given the two options, I'd go with rubbing alcohol 70% IPA. Kills germs better.
