I don't think it would be a problem. Most kids are pretty light.
If I could get within 100 pounds of what I weighed in high school
my doctor would call me a total success! :-) The tonneau is
curved, and the cockpit edge provides lots of structural
reenforcement. As long as the guest of honor plants his/her
buttocks nearer to the cockpit edge than the trunk it shuld be
alright. Maybe provide a cushion to further distribute the
weight and protect the paint.
