Is this a nono? It's a hamax that attaches to the seat tube via a bracket. If no, would it be safe to attach to the seatpost?

I feel sorry for kids in rear mounted seats
Not looking to get a different seat.
I wouldn't - even on pretty chunky steel/alu frames, I've seen dents left behind from Hamaxes... Assuming that you don't have rack mounts then I'd look at using a different bike.
As for rear/front mounted seats, I'm not so sure. My kids have both loved the rear seats. YMMV

Your oldest and heaviest one at that.
they're really not designed to have forces acting ont hem like that - most manufacturers even recommend not clamping the tubes for maintenance. Having 2 stone of seat and kid bouncing around on a clamp around the tubes can't be good for them.
what about with a super long seatpost inside the seat tube?
