I have a Pedal Power Long Harry. This is very similar in layout and function to a Bullitt. It’s a good bike, rides well and you can really load it up. The disadvantage is the lack of accessories - there is simply nothing available off the shelf to turn it into a kiddie carrier and you’ll have to make it yourself.
The Workcycles KR8 is the other way round. It’s a proper family bike and specifically designed to be carrying a front box with seats, canopy etc and it’s happy to live outside in all weather. Probably has the best of the family accessories out of all the bikes. But you can’t strap 120kg of junk to the front of the KR8. I see a couple of them near where I work ridden by mums doing shopping and with kids in them - I think that probably translates into it’s an easy bike to ride and not too heavy.
