One consideration with a tandem - it sounds as tho you'll have a kid seat on the back of the tandem, followed by a heavy trailer. That bike will be HARD to get rolling - from pure weight + inertia, and also will have it's center of gravity even further back + high with the kid seat. So it would be real tricky to get it rolling and balanced- a slow start, heavy, top-heavy + back-heavy, unfamiliar steering. You can probably do it, but it'll probably be hard + unfamiliar, and you'd probably do well to be careful not to spook your dearly beloved or the lil one's with a bad start or a fall. Don't want to put 'em off the idea.

All that said, good luck with it - hope you can work it out, and hope you all continue to enjoy family days out on the bikes!
