The humble child's catechism, when it echoes the teaching of the whole body of such catechetical texts, can be an important witness to the teaching of the Church in her universal ordinary magisterium.
I was hoping you would mention the Penny Catechism -- and you did! I have been using it with my children (and myself) for years. Simple and beautiful from the first question to the last:
1. Who made you? God made me.
2. Why did God make you?
God made me to know Him, love Him and serve Him in
this world, and to be happy with Him for ever in the next.
....
370. After your night prayers what should you do?
After my night prayers I should observe due modesty in going to bed; occupy myself with the thoughts of death; and endeavor to compose myself to rest at the foot of the Cross, and give my last thoughts to my crucified Saviour.

Lovely. I think it's vastly superior to the Baltimore.
I first heard of Tradivox on the Mike Church show a few years ago. Then...our CSPV pastor suggested it as well. Great stuff.
