Basically the title. I have a 2y old and a 3m old and would like to take them and their mother cycling on occasion. I realize the youngest can't hold her neck up for long yet, so cycling for her is premature, but I'm thinking down the line in a year or so. Would also be nice if the bicycle doubled as a commuter since I'll be moving to a place where I could plausibly commute for 25 minutes by bike.

Preference given to European brands, with retail presence in Luxembourg, where we live.

A lot of people around me use the Tern cargo bikes to tote kids around in various configurations. Not sure if they’re especially good for that purpose or if it’s a parent trend locally!

Looks like they’re headquartered in Taiwan. Looks like they’re stocked in some shops in sweden but I can’t tell how widespread. Always best to get something that the local shops will be familiar with and willing to provide maintenance for.

My mom biked us kids to a lot of activities when I was a kid. I think at one point she had 3 kinds of seats attached to one bike! For the youngest they make those seats that mount on the handlebars facing you. I’ve recently seen ones with the kid seat section enclosed in plastic for rain/cold which is neat.
