Thank you for that info! Direct from the source at that. Kind of annoying Blue Lug is putting incompatible products on their builds, and so many of them, as it led me to believe there was a real solution.
Kickstand won't be for mounting and dismounting the kid, he's actually 5 so im hoping with a quick boost he'll get on on his own. I'm using the Yepp Budget which is a version of the next seat after the Yepp Maxi like you have on there. I just like a kickstand and prefer a double. If necessary i'll get a big boy and donate this one to another bike.
