Great question, and one we are asked often. The Willow 3 and Franklin 3 are the same in riding posture, frame geometry, and internally geared 3-speed hub, but think of the Willow 3 as the premium version of the Franklin 3. It has an upgraded saddle and grip set, cream tires, a rear carrier already installed on the bike, and a frame mde of double-butted Chromoly steel. The Willow 7 is a beast of its own and features an internally geared 7-speed rear hub, hydraulic disc brakes, and an aluminum frame. You can read more about the similarities and differences here.
Absolutely! Step-through models are well suited for carrying cargo because they're so easy to mount without having to throw your leg over a top tube. This makes mounting a rear child seat a breeze. NOTE: We always recommend using the rear carrier from the child seat manufacturer as it will have been tested for load capacity.
