I would like one, but I have no space to store it, I live in a two room apartment and the bike storage is only really designed for a normal bike.
I used my normal bike with a bike basket on the parcel holder for shopping, it was brilliant!
No need for a bag, just pack the basket when you have paid, and hook it on the parcel holder.
Sadly I lost my bike during a year when I missed that the bike room was being cleared out and didn't tag it, so it was thrown out as anandoned, this happened as I had messed up my knee, had double flat feet and double heel spurs.
I now drive my car to the shops bur it's only one kilometer so it feels a bit dumb, meh I drive on electricity so it could be worse.
Once my situation with my general life stabalize a bit more I'll looks for a bike.
IMO you only need a cargo bike (i.e. long-tail or box bike) if you're trying to carry more than one kid. Otherwise, a regular-size bike with a heavy-duty integrated rack should be plenty. They even make some that can carry a lot of weight and fold for easy storage (e.g. this one).
If you occasionally need to carry a lot, cargo trailers are a thing.
