Do you absolutely NOT want one on the seat post at all?
I have a Pletscher system - https://www.bikemania.biz/Pletscher_A...cher_50290.htm - which DOES go to the seat post BUT it is primarily supported by the quick release system down to the wheels.
I had to get special brackets from the Pletscher folks USA distributor in IL to go around my disc brakes on the montague..

Yes, I don't want one that I have to mount on the seat post. I plan to put a toddler's seat there and most racks of this kind can only carry up to 20 lbs. I like that Pletscher system. How did you attach the forward bracket to the low rack/fender hole of the Montague? Would it be sturdy enough for a rear child seat?

some of the Kid seats incorporate their own support frame.
this one Includes the Blackburn CSR-1 Rack..

but if you buy them thru the LBS they will help you install it .
Perhaps the mounting fabrication is needing some ingenuity..
