They even sell multiple seating options. One of them is a proper seat that can actually carry an adult!

This is a long tail cargo bike, not a small one, but look how versatile it is!

We have one member whose wife and two kids were hit by a car with the Orbitor option and they all survived. I think that says a little about the sturdiness of it. (and also, about their state of karma)

For my part, I don't really NEED a bike like this as my two kids are big enough and would prefer to ride their own bikes, but I WANT one in the worst way! I have visions of mounting the front rack & basket, buying the huge panniers and replacing my car for all local drives for three seasons.

A mid tail bike would be something like the Fiido T1 Pro. It has a tall, integrated rack, but is not as long, and your kid would be right up against your butt:

Check out the Lectric Expedition. It is a great value and well-reviewed. Note how the cargo rack is part of the frame. Lectric is the least expensive brand that is considered good quality and has good after-sale customer service.They even sell multiple seating options.

It sounds like you don't necessarily need a cargo bike. If it's just one kid there are many options. You can get most standard electric bikes and add a child seat. Most child seats will handle kids up to ~50lbs. The Yepp Junior will accommodate a 75lbs child.

If your kid is larger you could also consider looking at a product called the Companion Seat. It can hold up to 150lbs if I remember correctly. This could also future proof yourself, unless you happen to have another child. The companion seat won't work on all bikes but it could be an option.

You also have the option of a full on cargo bike, but it depends on your needs. I personally ride a Xtracycle 9E with a Bosch motor and I couldn't be happier. I don't have kids but we haul a lot of stuff on there. Camera equipment, Home Depot runs, groceries and occasionally my fiancé.
