What are we talking about? Long trips? Short trips? What's the use case?

For short stuff, bakfiets. For the second part, sure, why not? Get a baby buggy for multiple kids.

Walking is also good for you.

Also, is all of this happening as a single parent? How many single parents with 3 kids are even out there? 0.00001% of the population?

All these problems are solvable. With probably less than half the money spent on car infrastructure and 5% the pollution.

Ok it’s raining or snowing or very hot outside - I’m not throwing 3 kids into a wheelbarrow fitted to a bike and doing that. What an awful way to live.

Why does it matter how many parents? One could be away or working and the other has to go 5 miles to Costco or whatever. Your little bike things don’t work. Also there are lots of single parents with 3+ kids.

I don’t want your terrible solution or way of life. I like having a large home with a large lawn and a large SUV to drive my family where we want when we want. I take trains and walk too and use strollers of course. But that’s like 20% of the time. Your comment reads like a person who doesn’t have kids.

If you think my way of life with my 3 kids is terrible and your way of life with your SUV is the only possible solution then I think you’d be happier if you widened your horizons rather than shitting on everyone else when they are having a good time.
