Is it safe to mount a double kickstand onto an aluminum bike? (self.bikewrench)

I have an aluminum Brodie Revel bike that I've attached a kids seat to. Is it safe for me to mount a double kickstand like the one in the link to this bike? It doesn't have a mounting plate, and someone told me I should only attach these to steel bikes or it will break the frame. Any insight would be super appreciated!

You're only going to danage the frame if you have a child larger than the rating for the child seat/rack. You'll pull the steel bolt through the mounting plate before you damage the frame.
