Cargo bikes for baby twins +1

Hi guys

I have 5 month old twins and an almost 4 year old. We want to get an electric cargo bike to transport everyone to school/nursery, but can't find many options that fit two Melia baby seats as well as a third child. So far I've come up with:

Urban Arrow Family Cargo Line Smart
Trek fetch 4+
Christiania Long

Has anyone got any other ideas? Thanks so much!

We're in the same boat OP! DH has been researching this and I think he's leaning towards a Reise & Müller Packster, not sure which model.

I know we originally wanted a Babboe but then the model was discontinued!

I think we've settled on a Christiania straight. It takes 4 kids but if we can't comfortably fit all 3 whilst we need toddler seats for the twins I'm going to add a folding child seat on the back. We will need to get the mid drive motor if we want to do this, but I've found these easier to drive anyway!

Hello, we're in much the same boat. 1 year old twins and a 3 year old. I'm also thinking christiania straight but was hoping I could get all 3 into the box with some form of toddler seat for the twins? Did you manage to make it work?

Yes, that’s what we have with 2 toddler seats - works great. Just make sure you measure to check you have space to securely store it, as it’s massive!

Also I should say - you can lift the front seat to put bags underneath which is super helpful

Great! Good to hear it's working well for you. Going to bite the bullet and get one. Can I ask which toddler seats you used? Are they mounted to the bench or did you take the bench out on that side to fit the seats? Look like they fit perfectly!
