I switched from bike/trailer to cargobike. First, I prefer to have the kids in front of me. I can see them and, more important, I can make sure that there is nothing sticking out onto the street, beeing mowed down by a car. Second, I feel the cargobike is more compact. Yes, it is long, but not as long as a bike plus trailer. Third, cars react differently to you, at least that's how i feel. Especially the bigger cars and SUVs don't try to cut you off as often as with a bike - probably because they think a crash could do way more damage. But it depends. We don't own a car (because the traffic situation is really shitty and i start cursing whenever i have to drive) and the cargobike has turned into our daily driver (ha!), not only for the kids but also for shopping or just for getting from point a to b. But if the trailer works for you, no need to switch. Different preferences, i'd say.
