This. Absolute ruse on behalf of the manufacturers imo.

eye protection looks pretty necessary

Most Cargo bikes come with super budget damper rod suspension. Decent suspension with at leaaast preload adjustment would make a huge difference.
Something with proper cartridge/air chamber and HI/LO damping would be even better. Dial it in depending on load and boosh. -

in real life you're going to need a normal front loader cargo bike for the twins and trailer for the toddler.
for cargo bike it's your choice. Trek, Urban arrow, bullitt, up to you. i am not sold on suspension forks for cargo bikes, but to each their own. I have found myself carrying a 40lbs of one child, to 120 lbs of three children, all the way up to 250+ lbs of bricks.... a suspension fork simply cannot perform consistently with that kind of variation.
i like the weehoo trailer things because the kids are super comfy and can pedal if they want to. they can go off-road. I have an acquaintance who literally takes his kid on mild single track with one.
