If "Collective numbers are used before nouns denoting people of mixed sex, personal and animate neuter nouns (of which there are few), and non-masculine personal pluralia tantum.", then "oba" is simply used with masculine nonpersonal nouns (oba psy, oba domy) and neuter nouns that were not mentioned above (so "oba pudełka", "oba drzewa", but "oboje dzieci").

so "oba" does not work for "both children" even if it is a neuter name? Is it because dziecko (even neuter) is animate?
