For Neb (and others who have wondered how to transport multiple children without resorting to SUVs or Minivans):

It's called a Bakfiets, which means "basket-bike" (Dutch) -- I saw them in use in Amsterdam, and finally tracked them down.
There are multiple versions and sizes, and even a convertible one (or two), so you can drop the kiddles and their cart off somewhere and zip around town on your own.

Yeah, they're pricey, unfortunately. But when you think about how much your car cost to purchase and maintain, it starts to look a little better ...

... plus, they look a lot cooler than an SUV.

The cargobike super long is hilarious. "Look a lot cooler than an SUV" is right. And they'd have to be WAY cheaper!

WOW. that's some bad photoshopping on that website... what, they couldn't convince parents to let them put their kids in those things?
