This has worked well for me:

CREATE TABLE child_table (
     ...
) INHERITS (parent_table);

ALTER TABLE child_table ALTER COLUMN id SET DEFAULT
nextval('parent_table_id_seq');

CREATE UNIQUE INDEX child_table_pk ON child_table (id);

Note that it's not necessary to declare an id column for the child.
