The point of a sleeping bag is to trap your body heat. Having legs just adds to surface area, which in turn loses heat.

But my initial premise still stands: no insulation (at least not what they use for sleeping bags) is perfect and more surface=more heat loss

Look at the way that's hooked around the axel. If that rider falls, no way that stroller's not going to flip, spilling children everywhere.

On the other hand it makes the bike really steady, like extra training wheels. :p

I see parents with similar rigs all the time, those bikes are extremely steady, basically stuck upright, like a trike. :p
