I don't have kids myself, but having been a kid I've ridden a bakfiets on many occasions, never mind living near a primary school where a lot of kids get dropped off by bakfiets. I'm sure where you live a bakfiets is a less viable option, but claiming that therefore using them anywhere is unrealistic is myopic.
