Tips for riding with 2 young sons

I'm looking for tips on how to ride with two boys without worrying about
their riding skills on roads with cars. Right now they are 2 year old
and 3 year olds. I am currently pulling a double trailer up hills along
with my 3 year old's tricycle in tow. Good exercise for Dad!

I'm looking at options to move us into the next level of riding. (rather
than me pulling) I'm considering a tandem bike that will accommodate me
and my older boy when he turns 4. The tandem would pull a trailer bike
for my younger son to follow behind. The whole spectacle is bound to be
even longer than my bike pulling a trailer pulling a tricycle. But will
it work?

I saw a Buddy Bike on line. It looked pretty cool. Dad sits in back and
kid up front. Any tips from folks who've lived through this "biking
with young kids" stage?
