What Thule Trunk Mounted Bike Rack Can Carry Two Childrens Bikes and One Adult Bike
Question:
What Thule bike carriers work best for small childrens bikes? 1 adult + 2 childrens bikes
asked by: Suellen G
Expert Reply:
The Thule trunk mounted bike rack that will have the best chance of fitting 2 childrens bikes and 1 adult bike is the Thule OutWay 3 Bike Rack, # TH56BV. The arms on the OutWay bike rack only measure 8 inches apart on center.
Small and angled bike frames that are commonly found on women's, children's and alternative bike frames can be difficult to fit on most bike racks. The best option to ensure a safe and secure fit of these style frames is to use the Thule Bike Adapter Bar, # TH982XT. This adapter provides a horizontal crossbar to safely mount the bikes on a bike rack. I have attached a video review of the adapter bar for you to check out as well.
Some vehicles are not able to use of a trunk mounted bike rack or support more than two bikes on a trunk mounted bike rack. To determine if this bike rack will fit your vehicle, you can send me the year, make and model of your vehicle or enter this information in the fit guide on our website to see if this bike rack is recommended for your vehicle.
