Oooooh!!! Game glitches galore. It would seem the SCUMM interface wasn't as picture perfect as we had all remembered it to be. Watch as I demonstrate a tactic I bet few people knew about this game. Did you know that there is more than one radiation suit and more than one meteor in this game? Neither did I!!
I bet this is an edited video, but find the elusive "Prototype" rom, it has a few things left out

I just tried this. I was able to exit the den after feeding the plant. But my 'new kid' wouldn't work even after using the doorbell trick. But then I found that if I had my kid caught & sent to the dungeon, then I could switch. Even more so, if you go through the lab again, the countdown will restart. So it's cycle again.

It does not in my version...
Maybe I can get it to work on the prototype.

Have one kid ring doorbell. Have another walk into lab. Wait for cut scene where Ed checks for who's outside. Once you are back to your kid in the lab, "New Kid" function will work. (It does in my version.)

But you can't switch to another kid once inside the lab.

Yes, you can. There is a bug in the NES version. If you have a kid stand OUTSIDE of the lab and another go and ring the doorbell, the cutscene of Ed going to the door will ensue. Have a kid walk into the lab. Wait until Ed gets to the door and tells the kid to "get out of here". When the scene goes back, you will have control of the kid in the lab, but this time, you will be able to switch to another kid because of the glitch after Ed answers the front door.

I think I've done this before.

You can't do it in the NES version, either.

No. You can only feed the meteor to the plant in the NES version.

It does, but it you run into a room fast enough, you can avoid the cutscene, thus the game doesn't end.
You can then walk around the house in the HAZMAT suit. It's awesome.
