Honestly, cargo bikes are nice but they’re pretty spendy and take up a lot of space.
I sold my cargo/kid specific bikes and got a trailer. Chariot is excellent. Kids are safe, surrounded by a cage. Also weatherproof weather rain, sun, cold, etc. Best part is you can hook it up to your favorite bike. Very versatile and cost-effective solution.
