If you need to downsize to just one bike to do everything then it's very useful for that. Rear rack and child seat come off super quick, without them it's a pretty rad Surly Troll you can use as a commuter/shopper, tourer, gravel and mountain biking.
Hydro disc, 11sp, carbon rims, dynamo and lights, Jones bars, it's pure middle class parent checklist.
Enough room for all the shit you need for a daytrip with your kid, and when they get tired, there's still enough room to bungee their bike to the front rack and put them on the seat.
