Expert Answers about Bike Trailer For Kids
- Is Adapter Bar Needed for Carrying Kids Bikes On Saris Glide EX 5 Rack
- I definitely recommend an adapter bar for hitch mounted, hanging style racks like the Saris Glide EX 5 bike rack (discontinued). Having done this myself for years with my own hanging style rack and no adapter bar with my 2 boy's bikes, I definitely wish I knew about these years ago.
The Rhino-Rack Bike Frame Adapter Bar for Women's and Alternative Frame Bikes # RRRBCA021 is a great option. An adapter bar helps provide safe, level transport of a woman's, child's, or full-suspension...

- Since you are wanting to carry both a heavier electric bike as well as a kids bike your bike rack options will be pretty limited but we do have a solution for you!
The best option that will absolutely work is the Thule EasyFold XT # TH903202. This bike rack can carry 2 bikes weighing up to 65 lbs each. It features a ramp that allows you to easily load your bikes that is also stored on the bike rack. The EasyFold XT has an integrated anti-rattle device that doubles as a bike lock for security...
view full answer... - Are Bike Adapter Bars Required to Load Womens and Childrens Bikes on a Bike Rack
- That is simply too much to spend on adapter bars, I agree. You don't have to use a specific adapter bar so you can use # HE6009 which costs much less than some of the other options.
You don't necessarily have to use bike adapter bars. But there are some situations where using one is the only way to load certain bikes. Take a look at the video I have linked for some examples.
A regular women's bike frame that has the slanted bar doesn't have to have one (though the bike would be at a weird...

- Yes. In order to carry 4 bikes on your 2016 Volvo XC90 you would need to add a hitch and use a hitch mounted bike rack, but we do have the parts you'll need to accomplish this. I recommend using the Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver - Custom Fit - Class III - 2" # C13233, which will provide you with a 2" hitch that provides you with the best selection of hitch mounted accessories and also will be helpful if you ever need to tow anything in the future. Curt hitches also have a thicker powder coating...
view full answer... - Carrying Kids' Bikes While Towing a Trailer and Using a Weight Distribution System
- I have some options for you that may work, but unfortunately part # RM-077-4, or any other hitch adapter isn't a viable solution. Specifically, the # RM-077-4 Roadmaster dual receiver is not designed to tow a trailer. I can only be used for flat towing a vehicle with all 4 wheels on the ground. When flat towing there is virtually no tongue weight from the towed vehicle. Also, a hitch adapter that extends the hitch reduces the tongue weight capacity of the hitch and therefore effects...

- We can help you with options for carrying your four bikes on your 2015 Mercedes-Benz ML350.
However, the reason you could find no 4-bike trunk racks is that very few such carriers exist; we offer none and the reason why is that a 4-bike trunk-mount rack would simply place too much weight on that rear hatch (or on the trunk of a sedan) and would put some parts of a car at risk. The 3-bike Hollywood Racks Over-the-Top # HRF2-3 will properly fit your vehicle but it leaves you with 1 bike...
view full answer... - Is Drawbar, Hitch Pin, and Clip Needed to Use a Trailer Hitch to Carry Bikes on a 2013 Buick Encore
- The drawbar (also known as a ball mount or stinger) fits into the trailer hitch receiver and gets fitted with a ball. This would be used to tow a trailer. If you never plan on using the 2013 Buick Encore for towing then you will not need a ball mount or ball.
Most hitch accessories like bike racks come with a hitch pin or thread hitch bolt so a pin may not be needed either. A regular hitch pin, like # PC2, is held into place with the included clip which is similar to a cotter pin. You...
view full answer... - Recommended 4 Bike Rack for 2015 Honda Odyssey
- I'll start off by saying that the only way you will be able to carry 4 bikes on your 2015 Honda Odyssey is if you've got a 2" trailer hitch like the etrailer # e98862; as long as you've got a hitch, you're well on your way. There currently aren't any trunk mounted bike racks that will carry 4 bikes.
To carry 4 bikes I recommend using the Curt Platform Tilting Bike Rack # C18087 which is made from steel and covered with a heavy powder coating, so it will provide great protection from the...

- Have a look at the Hollywood Racks Over-the-Top 3 Bike Rack # HRF2-3, which is a trunk mounted 3 bike rack that will fit on the back of your 2013 Toyota Sienna. This rack has adjustable arms to make getting the bikes level a bit easier and this rack comes with 4 adjustable cam buckle straps with rubber-coated hooks that anchor the base of the rack to your trunk or hatch door. In order to carry any bikes with aggressive step through frames (women's or kids bikes) you'll need to use a bike...
view full answer... - Adapter Bar for Womans Bike Carried on Yakima LongHaul 4 Bike Hanging Style Rack
- When a bike does not have a horizontal top frame tube (as is found on a typical boy's bike) an adapter bar such as # UB01 can provide a handy way to mount such a bike on a standard hanging style bike carrier that uses two arms to hold the bike, such as the Yakima LongHaul 4 Bike Rack that you referenced, part # Y02476.
The Longhaul's arms are spaced closer together than on many racks, and this can reduce the need for adapter bars, but some bikes, especially kids' bikes, may still benefit...
view full answer... - Is Adapter Bar Required When Transporting Womans Bicycle on the Thule Doubletrack Pro XT
- You should not need a frame adapter bar, such as the Thule # TH982XT, when transporting womens or girls bikes on the Thule Doubletrack Pro XT, part # TH92BJ. The Doubletrack uses two independently-adjustable ratcheting arms to grip the bike frames. These can be positioned as low on the central mast as required to provide a solid grip on the main frame tube of even womens or kids bikes.
Please refer to the photo provided which shows a typical womens bike with an angled top frame tube. The...

- The Thule UpRide Roof Bike Rack - Wheel Mount - Clamp On or Channel Mount - Aluminum # TH599000 can carry children's bikes with wheels as small as 20" in diameter; as long as the bike you're wanting to carry has that diameter tire or larger you'll be just fine.
I'm not aware of a roof mounted bike carrier that will carry bikes with smaller than 20" tires, so if you've got a smaller tire on your children's bikes you may need to go with a trunk mounted carrier for that bike. I recommend...
view full answer... - Recommended Hitch for Bike Carrier to Use on 2004 Arctic Fox 5th Wheel Trailer
- In order to determine what hitch will fit on your 2004 Arctic Fox 5th wheel you'll need to have a look and determine what shape your trailer frame is, and determine what the distance is between the two side stanchions that you'd mount the hitch to; unfortunately there's not a database that tells us this information, so you'll want to measure to be sure.
Your best bet is likely going to be using the Adjustable Width Trailer Hitch Receiver for RVs, 22" to 72" Wide # 13703 which can be welded...

- I may have an option for you but we don't carry and racks that can hold 6 bikes.
If you can find a way to carry one of the bikes inside your vehicle you can carry the rest on a hitch mount rack. I suggest the Thule Apex XT, part # TH9026XT, because of 3-point connection to hole the bikes securely on the rack. This helps keep them stable so they aren't swinging into each other or your vehicle.
Since several of your bikes are children's bikes you'll likely need a bike frame adapter bar...
view full answer... - How to Carry More Than 2 Bikes on 2014 Toyota Prius C
- The hitch and bike rack manufacturers all agree that bike racks used in a Class I hitch like the Curt # C11484 should not carry any more than two bicycles (even kid's bikes) even if the rack used has a 4 bike capacity and for good reason.
Weight is part of the reason, but leverage is also a huge consideration. Adding a 3rd and 4th bike moves more load further away from the hitch which rapidly increases the leverage and force applied not only to the hitch but to the hitch attachment points...

- You are correct that you need a 2-inch Class III hitch in order to use the excellent swing-away Yakima FullSwing 4 Bike Rack # Y02465 on your 2013 Highlander. You can click on the included link to see all hitches offered.
While all are 2-inch and Class III-rated they do differ in their tongue weight (TW) capacities and also in terms of compatibility with your full-size spare tire. I recommend going with a higher capacity hitch to give you plenty of strength for the substantial weight of...
