Look for an old school bicycle with a front freewheeling drive system. The thrift/used bike world still has these and they are in expensive.

The action of this will allow you to pedal each leg independently, not making a complete rotation unless you desire to. The chainwheel will continue to spin, whether you are moving either of the the cranks or not.

For riding with your family, this would be a simple solution.
