In Catholic religion it is tradition to baptise our babies.
I don’t fully understand the purpose though.
I think it is about original sin (?) but I’m not sure this makes sense because wouldn’t that like give some babies “advantage” over other babies?
What I mean by this, is God makes some babies born to Orthodox family, and Muslim family etc so what about these babies?

This is sort of two separate questions, both of which require more than a quick forum post.

To learn about baptism, including the baptism of infants, the CCC (for brevity only posting a bit, I suggest reading the entire article):

http://www.scborromeo.org/ccc/p2s2c1a1.htm

The Baptism of infants

[1250]
Born with a fallen human nature and tainted by original sin, children also have need of the new birth in Baptism to be freed from the power of darkness and brought into the realm of the freedom of the children of God, to which all men are called.50 The sheer gratuitousness of the grace of salvation is particularly manifest in infant Baptism. The Church and the parents would deny a child the priceless grace of becoming a child of God were they not to confer Baptism shortly after birth.51

1251 Christian parents will recognize that this practice also accords with their role as nurturers of the life that God has entrusted to them.52

1252 The practice of infant Baptism is an immemorial tradition of the Church. There is explicit testimony to this practice from the second century on, and it is quite possible that, from the beginning of the apostolic preaching, when whole “households” received baptism, infants may also have been baptized.53

For the next, children who die without baptism:

[1261] As regards children who have died without Baptism , the Church can only entrust them to the mercy of God, as she does in her funeral rites for them. Indeed, the great mercy of God who desires that all men should be saved, and Jesus’ tenderness toward children which caused him to say: "Let the children come to me, do not hinder them,"64 allow us to hope that there is a way of salvation for children who have died without Baptism. All the more urgent is the Church’s call not to prevent little children coming to Christ through the gift of holy Baptism.

Last, read the article about the Church and non-Christians start at para 839:

That’s part of it. Baptism is the means by which we enter into life in the Spirit, become members of the Church, and have access to the other sacraments. It forgives all sins (personal and original).
I’m not sure this makes sense because wouldn’t that like give some babies “advantage” over other babies?
Not really sure where you’re coming from … do you think it’s unfair that Jesus gave us sacraments and commanded us to make disciples and baptize them?
What I mean by this, is God makes some babies born to Orthodox family, and Muslim family etc so what about these babies?
The Orthodox baptize their babies.

Those who do not believe in Jesus, or in God, may still attain to salvation. We have certainty that baptism, a life of grace, and the sacraments, are a sure means to salvation. They don’t have that “sure means”.
 
God makes some babies born to Orthodox family, and Muslim family etc so what about these babies?
Such is the consequence of sin and our free will. Some choose against the truth and as a result have families outside the faith. Their journey is, ideally, one of joining the Church. But remember the words of our Lord: “Much will be required of the person entrusted with much, and still more will be demanded of the person entrusted with more” (Luke 12:48 NABRE) We as Catholics are called to do and be far more than those born outside the Church. We were born with the gift of a faithful family and this means God expects much of us. I don’t think that’s much of an advantage!

Yes…the “advantage” of having Sanctifying Grace. The consequence of Original sin is that we are born without Sanctifying Grace. Baptism restores this, bringing the child into the family of God. This is why it is important to Baptize babies.

No He doesn’t. God doesn’t “make” them be born into non-Catholic families. Non-Catholic parents do that.
Ditto what Capta(name removed by moderator)rudeman said.
