I rode the first 40 miles of a 90 mile ride on my old pace singlespeed with one of my children happily sitting in his Hamax child seat.
Personally i think a freewheel is safer with a kiddie on board because the weight affects the handling more, especially at slow speeds....so you could find your legs in the wrong place as you're trying to counteract your kid hanging out one side of the seat looking down at the road wizzing past...:)
