As topic, wondering whether putting a rear mounted kids bike seat on the bike which would be attached to the car via a rear mounted car rack is safe?

They are pretty bulky and I otherwise don't have anywhere to put it...

Hamax seat, if it makes a difference..

They are built strong....extra air resistance may put too much load through your rack though....especially if it's asymetric

If you put a child in it - Yes! 😆

Rack will only have one lightish bike on (well below 2 bike limit) and it'll balance out with the suspension forks on the front.

Just paranoid and wondering if anyone else has done it?!
