I would recommend you get a Swagman Titan 4 Bike Carrier # S63410. This rack is a 4 bike carrier with anti-sway cradles, an integrated cable lock and has a tilting feature to allow for access to the rear of your vehicle. Check out the review video for this product that I attached.
You will need to make sure that the hitch you are having installed is a Class II or higher hitch, otherwise you will be limited to only carrying 2 bikes the hitch is a Class I.
For the childrens bikes with the alternative frames you would want a frame adapter like the part # 64005. This product will provide a horizontal bar for the bikes to attach to. That way you will not have to worry about attaching a bike rack to the alternative style frame.
