How we started to chose a family bike

Well, since we moved a bit to the country side, we saw the need to transport two kids and shopping bags, grocery etc.
With a "normal" bike, one gets easily to the limits, and in Germany it is difficult to get kid seats for the bicycle in front, usually only the backseats are legal.
So, we started looking for better ways. First we looked at haulers to be attached to the bike, but we did not like the fact that the kids were behind us, and that it is more difficult to judge the width of the hauler (being behind).
After a lot of research, we looked at the following bikes more or less closely:
bakfiets, workcycles, trio bike, Winther Kangaroo, larry vs. harry bullitt, and others.
I will add comments and some photos to this blog as we advanced on the acquisition...
To make it short: We decided to take the Winther Kangaroo.
More to follow soon...
