to be honest, i feel that rhaegar intentionally allowed his father to keep elia and children as hostage because he knows very well that he has to have the army of dorne on his side. 

if he sent elia and children to dragonstone, which he surely had the ability to do at that moment either by public or secret way, then dorne will try to pick up elia and children and withdraw their support, because they are very angry at rhaegar already. 

rhaegar wanted to make use of his wife and children to seal his victory even this will place them in danger. coldblooded? yes. but very effective. 

imho, all rhaegar wanted is to win and kill robert so that he will have lyanna for himself. he is fine that if aerys suddenly burned his wife and two older children because lyanna is strong and young and can bear him many children (he thought so). he probably never thought about that lyanna will not survive first childbirth. 

This is a very good thought.
