In our Koha 2 we have it set up so that an adult who uses their child's card to
reserve an adult rental item does get charged a hold fee.  Likewise an adult
who reserves a children's book does not get charged the hold fee.  Hold fees
are charged depending on the item type, not depending on the patron.

In Koha 3.0 it appears that whether a hold fee is charged or not is determined
by whether the patron's card being used to place the hold is a child (no hold
fee charged) or an adult (hold fee charged). So hold fees are charged depending
on the patron type, not the item type. 

In Koha 2. patron setup we have a hold fee of $1 for almost all patron
categories (except for staff, institutions, housebounds and librarys) so kids
and adult alike.

But reserving kids books, whether an adult or child does not incur hold
charges.
