Also from folks experience, is there anything you can do/is it normal for rear mounted seats to feel like you've got a tonne of weight swinging off the back of your bike?
They can feel like that. The sturdier the bike and the longer the wheelbase the better. You can minimise the pendulum effect by keeping the seat as low as possible and as far forward as you can realistically run it.

What @Jonny69 said.
I have a Thule Yepp on my Intec M1, which is a German overbuilt budget tourer frame. 445mm chainstays and built for heavy rear panniers and a trunk bag. It feels really solid even with an almost two year old.

Got the big seat on the back of this old mtb. Eldest loved it. Shame I haven't been able to take them out since they out grew the weeride, as that was one of my covid highlights.
Want to put a wee ride on the front of the mtb so our youngest can enjoy it too, but need a new tall stem first, as the current one is dangerously past the insertion line. If anyone has a looooong 1" quill give me a shout.
