I used the Velo Orange porteur double kickstand on a Civia Twin City bike with a Bobike rear child seat. It was excellent. I originally used it for keeping the bike steady when loading it heavily; when I started carrying my kid on it I kept using the same kickstand. Never a problem. I also used the spring thing for keeping the front wheel straight. That was totally necessary with a heavy front basket. https://velo-orange.com/products/porteur-double-kickstand https://velo-orange.com/products/vo-wheel-stabilizer
