For your 2017 Subaru Forester with factory hitch receiver, you will want to use a bike rack rated for 1-1/4 inch hitches. For a hitch mounted rack for your 3 bikes, you will be limited to a hanging style bike rack. My recommendation for you is the Hollywood Racks Traveler 4 Bike Carrier for 1-1/4" and 2" Hitches - Tilting # HR8500 which will allow you to have the anti-sway and folding feature for storage. This also gives you a tilting option when not carrying bikes to give you cargo access.
If you want just a 3 bike option, the SportRack Pathway Deluxe 3 Bike Rack - 1-1/4", 2" Hitches - Single Arm - Locking - Tilting # SR2703 is a great option but it doesn't keep the bikes from swaying into each other.
