Congrats.
The Riese & Muller Load 4 75 has full front and rear suspension and will take 3 kids. I know others aren't sold on suspension but if you're mostly transporting the kids you can dial it in for their comfort first and foremost. I can't imagine there's anything pleasant about being bounced around in a wooden box without suspension which is why I've got one on order. Happy to give you an update when it arrives.
just to add, suspension is useful on a cargo bike, particularly with kids because tyres spend more time in contact with the ground for better braking / control. Obviously there's some marketing guff going on by the manufacturers but I've gone for full suspension and ABS purely because an unloaded cargo bike isn't going to give you a lot of grip at the front
