How long is the drive? 8 or 9 hours, depending on traffic around Chicago?
Whichever way you go, I assume having a small child with you means you'll need regular rest stops. Which seems an argument against the bus. You know better than I whether your family can handle that part of it. And you can always get a breather from the family at a rest stop.

The DVDs and games: thumbs up!
The bus bathroom? Aims, I don't think you are going to like the bus bathroom.
