Is one to buy a set of Hashanos for each family member?[1]

From the letter of the law, there is no requirement for every family member to perform Hoshanos. However, the widespread custom, as well as the Chabad custom, is to purchase a set of Hashanos for each family member, including one’s wife and even small children.[2] If the child is an infant and cannot hit the Aravos themselves, then the parent is to hit it on the floor on their behalf.
