Thanks for your advices.
Maybe the better way is to design some different prototypes and to see what they like more.
At least for child rows, make sense to have another form.

Also, if your main toolbar only creates a parent record, this will be confusing: at some moment, the user will expect to create a child record, but a parent record will be created instead. Of course, the user will get accustomed in the long run.
