So as a Dutch dad who owns one of these I can say my only regret is not getting one sooner, my kids absolutely adore riding in it. However in the Netherlands our infrastructure is very much geared towards bikes so keep in mind that the experience will be different, because they are more difficult to stear and maneuver than a normal bike.
