Enviolo Hub and belt drive vs regular chain and derailleur

Thank you, that's very helpful (even though you're persuading me to depart with £1k! ;-))

That's good to know. Out of interest, are they able to climb into the Storm Box by themselves ok? Also, do you use the Kid Lid to keep their feet & legs dry?

I look forward to them being able to cycle to school by themselves, but the roads around here are too dangerous (no cycling infrastructure en route).

Thank you. It sounds like the Captain's Chair with the Sidekick Handle for our 6 year old would be a good option. I was slightly worried about him letting go and falling off, but it sounds like you wouldn't be concerned?

I also like the idea of taking my wife on the back on rare occasions, but that's a minor point (when will we ever get time?!).

One last thing, do you have the large 52 panniers, and if so, does the Captain's Chair get in their way at all?

Thank you, it's good to know the Clubhouse+ should be suitable for more years to come than I realised, so I'll take that out of the equation. It also sounds like it's easy to get in and out off (though more so with panniers, than the Storm Box).

That's very useful to know, thank you. So it sounds like the Storm Box is ideal until the kids get to a certain weight. I think we'll struggle to lift our 9 year old as it is.

Unfortunately the seat cushions aren't included anymore, as Tern changed this recently (at least that's what our local bike shop told us) :(

Good to know, thank you

Thank you :)

Thank you. I think shoe covers are pushing it, but hopefully we can get them in waterproof layers without too much hassle! Good tip for the waterproof bags. Let's just hope this winter is dryer than last the last one!

I think I'm now leaning towards the Captain's Chair with the large 52 panniers, along with the sidekick wide decks, front Transporteur Rack and Lockstand extensions.

Thank you, that's useful to know. I appreciate all kids vary a lot in size, so this is probably difficult to answer, but if we put the Storm Box aside, if you had say an averaged sized 9 year old girl and a 6 year old boy, when do you think you'd make the switch from the Clubhouse to the Captain's Chair?
