Cycling is a very safe mode of transport, although it may not always feel safe, especially to outside observers. 

Cargo bikes are designed to safely carry a heavy load, including children.

They are different from 'normal' bikes as they ensure the majority of the weight you're carrying is as low down as possible, to make it much easier to balance. 

Cargo bikes come with seating options that are suitable for your children's age and offer relevant safety options such as harnesses.
