Helpful Expert Reply:
The bike rack that I recommend using to haul your 26 inch Schwinn Meridian Tricycle with your 2012 Toyota RAV4 is the Hollywood Racks Sport Rider Trike Carrier # HR1000Z-R-TRKADP.
This trike carrier will fit both 1-1/4" and 2" hitch receivers and can carry a trike with a max track width of 36", a max wheelbase of 74", a max tire width of 3", and a max weight of 100 lbs. It also comes with a limited lifetime warranty.
Since your Schwinn has a step-through frame you may need to use an Adapter Bar # HRBA-PRO to ensure that the ratcheting arm stabilizes it properly.
If you do not already have a trailer hitch receiver installed on your RAV4 then I recommend getting the etrailer Trailer Hitch Receiver # e98864 which will easily allow you to transport your trike.
I have attached some review videos for you to check out as well.
