For cities: the omafiets, or a bakfiets for your kids and groceries. If that's pricey you can also ger a cart for behind your bicycle
For longer distances: anything with a bend forward in the bar that holds the front wheel. It keeps steering relatively straight on it's own. Electric is nice, but not really necessary. If you have the choice, go for something you can sit straight up on. It'll be better on your back, and more comfortable
If you're doing short distances to a train station, then a folding bicycle is great to have. They can be a bit clunky, but it definitely beats walking
