Engaging GSD kickstand with kids on back?

Is there a way to engage the kickstand with two kids on the back of the Tern? I figure there had to be and I’m just missing something but I can never manage to get it down (maybe I’m too uncoordinated lol). My younger child doesn’t like climbing over the bars to get off so we used to do this sort of piggyback thing where I’d get him off and then engage the kickstand after he shimmied down, but now with winter and the whole clubhouse fort setup thing it’s impossible!
