I feel like they would take a lot of abuse on the bow rail. Are we talking about those Tommy Bahama folding chairs from Costco that everyone has these days? Seems like the side rail would make more sense.
If it was me, I'd just get some of these to attach them. https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00DPLM5YU/
I bring some reusable zip ties (wish I would’ve discovered sooner) but mostly use these ball ties for hanging lights, hanging tapestries, attaching flag pole to canopy.

Very versatile, I like it! As a sailor I always try to minimize the need for tying knots, especially when I am doing a routine task like loading or unloading something. Knots take time to tie, you have to design their configuration, and they require a dexterity that is not available to you under certain conditions. I always consider webbing tie down straps, zip ties, (safety) hook bungies, loop+ball bungies, hose clamps, and the like.
For this grid, is there some sort of eye bolt that can be inserted into and removed from the holes easily? Webbing that can be used quickly and easily?
Actually, thinking a bit more, maybe you could have a 2" loop of cord sticking out of each hole of the grid. You just choose which one you want to strap webbing to and away you go.

I recommend NEVER leaving him in a bike seat while its on the kickstand. That said, I'm sure you are a good parent. I just had to say it as a word of caution.
To answer your question, the dual-legged kickstands are generally more stable. In your situation, I would also recommend that in conjunction with the dually kickstand, that you also add two things:

I use the 6" ball bungees. I will wrap them around either the front or rear brake lever, closing up the brake and making it hold. The wheel doesnt roll. If the wheel doesnt roll, the bike does not have the need to fall over. I use this technique for all of my bikes that do not have a kickstand.
If you use the above methods, it will make your life a lot easier when handling your child and the bike..
Ball Bungees to secure tapestries/sheets to the EZ up
I use these clips on the bottom of the sheet and then I use a length of paracord to tie it to a plastic stake which keeps it in place.
