This is what you need to father children properly. A front fork is only really needed if you're running poor passive suspension, or you ride bad roads.
That said, i'd still say that front suspension, installing properly, using pedal first/pedaling first would work out fine. My girlfriend hasn't had any problems on hers yet.
