I think the main difference is that I can now have an actual conversation with them and explain things. Up until maybe 4 our kids were mainly aimlessly bumbling around. No harm in that, but on a boat it’s nice to know they won’t randomly jump off if your turn away for a few seconds.
I think slightly older kids makes it more interesting. The kids themselves will enjoy it more as well as they understand a bit more about what’s going on etc.
But all that said, if you feel like going just fucking do it. It’ll be awesome and you’ll regret not doing it if you don’t.

@aggi - I probably should have been clearer, they will be permanently living in a camper. But I guess even a mini velo takes up a lot of room, so thinking it through more it's;
a) normal bike if they're happy to have it on the back from a safety pov,
b) mini-velo if they have space but a) isn't possible, or
c) Brompton if a) and b) aren't viable.
@kboy - that's interesting. Did you find both being out of nappies made a difference? I guess I'm wondering if it there were any major milestones, or just death by 1,000 cuts?
When we first talked about it, it was more of a whole year including home schooling idea so I'd assumed a bit older and I liked the idea of it being in their... Idk formative(?) years I guess. But recently with everything going on we started mulling over something earlier for less time.
We're still waiting on the 2nd mini-H, so it's all a bit soon. Equally if you don't think ahead on these things they stay dreams forever.
