Availability of Bike Adapters with Minimum Length of 13 or Less

Question:

I recently bought a Thule 9031 bike rack from eTrailer for my 2006 Nissan Pathfinder. Now I need two bike adapters for my kidsfoot bikes. I love this adapter but its too long for my daughters bike. The specifications state this adapters minimum length is 16. My daughters bike from seat post to handlebar post measures 13. Is there an adapter similar to this one you can recommend that would fit, or any adapter that would fit? Thank you.

We have a smaller adapter that, when fully collapsed, measure less than 15 inches, but not 13 inches. The Yakima bar, part # Y02531, has a minimum of 14-1/2 inches.

I would measure the kids' bike frames again to make sure this adapter fits.
