Is it even reasonable to think about riding with three little kids?

For what it's worth, I have tried a front seat. To work well, you need an upright, stepthrough bike with a very long cockpit and very swept handlebars. Also, some front seats are more upright or set more forward than others. The Thule that I tried was a bad example of the type, but it seems like the Bobike version would have worked for me. I gave up because by the time I threw up my hands about the Thule, he'd gotten big enough for a regular back seat. I can't speak about the front saddles like the one available for the FR8. They look fun, anyhow.
Lots of these ideas wouldn't work for me. Given my budget, existing fleet, and preference for very low gears, I think my likely path is to try to get the older kid to learn to stoke, and put the babies in a trailer.
