This.

A longnose (or bakfiets as the Dutch call them), the kind with a cargo box in front of the rider, often has seats for children, complete with safety harnesses ... and absolutely can have an adapter put in so that a standard car seat can be mounted in the box.

The box also works for things like groceries or other shopping.

The main drawback to them is, they're big, mostly in their length, which can make them slightly more challenging to store at home.

But they're still way smaller than a car.

Yes, but also way more stealable than even the smallest car, or even a motorcycle. Hence why you don't just park it unattended at the curb .... unlike what you can do with a car.
