Expert Reply:
The Thule Passage 2 Bike Carrier, part # TH911XT will work well on your 2012 Honda Insight.
This carrier uses 6 attachment straps to secure the rack to the back of your Insight. It also features cushioned anti-sway cradles that prevents bike-to-bike contact and has rubber straps to secure the bikes to the carrier. This rack has a weight capacity of 35 lbs per bike. I have attached a link to a product review video for this bike carrier you can take a look at.
Since you are planning on carrying bikes with alternative frames like kids bikes or women's bikes I recommend using an adapter bar like part # 64005. This attaches between the seat post and the handlebar stem and allows the bike to be carried more level in the carrier while providing additional ground clearance. I have attached a product review video for this adapter bar.
