Oh we've tried both and the bicycle cargo is much nicer for most activities, especially the bakfiets ones. We've tried lots of tricycles and I feel they're deathtraps, if you usually drive a bicycle. You need to really steer and when at >20kph, steering without banking, keeping 3 wheels on the ground is very hard, I find. Maybe lack of practice. But in a month of driving a tricycle, getting back to a bicycle cargo was really a contrast.
The only thing I'm missing really from tricycles is the canopy, the roof, some of those have. I haven't seen a bakfiets cover high enough for tall-but-young kids, and it's really annoying to resort to ponchos or other garments to keep water away... I'm almost in the mind of building one, if only I was a better woodworker...
Buying my second bakfiets short in 2 days, couldn't be happier to fork the cash over...
