Expert Reply:
Since you will be carrying womens and childrens bikes that have alternative and/or smaller frames, I recommend going with a platform style bike rack. A platform style rack holds the bikes at the wheels and has a padded hook that clamps down on the frame. Take a look at the Swagman XTC4, # S64665. I have included a link to the installation details and a video review for reference. You will also want to measure from the center of your hitch pin hole out to the distance required to clear the rear of the vehicle. It is is less than 12-3/4 inches, this rack will fit.
