Can the Swagman XTC4 Bike Rack Hold a Kids 18 Inch Bike
Question:
I am looking at this rack for two adult and 2 kids bikes. I want a platform rack so that I can adjust for sizing and not worry about it again unlike hanging racks which are a pain. My sons bike is 18 inch. Are there any issues with smaller bikes on this rack?

Expert Reply:
As long as the tire diameter on the smaller brakes is at least 15 inches then you won't have any trouble fitting the kids' bikes on the Swagman XTC4 # S64665. I have linked a video review of this rack for you.
Another option to consider is the Hollywood Racks Sport Rider, # HR1400Z. This rack can actually be used as a 2 or 4 bike carrier. Then to use it with 16 or 18 inch bike wheels you would just need adapter # HRSW-ADP-2. I have linked a video review of this bike rack as well.
