Assuming you're travelling off peak, then Zones 1-6 Travelcards will suffice:-

FAMILY RAILCARD FAM £7.90
FAMILY CHILD CHFAM £2.30

There is no point paying more for Zones 1-9 (the child price quoted above is the same, but the adult price is higher), and you get Zones 3-6 chucked in for free whether you use them or not; there is no option to exclude those zones in the circumstances described.
