I recommend using the Thule Apex XT 5 Bike Rack for 1-1/4" and 2" Hitches - Tilting # TH9026XT, which will fit on your QX60's 2" hitch receiver and allow you to carry 5 bikes. I really like that this tilts away from the vehicle to allow you easy access to the cargo area of the vehicle, and also comes with locks for the rack and the bike. You will need bike frame adapter bars like the Swagman # 64005 for any children's bikes or bikes with aggressive step through frames like women's bikes so that they can be carried level, but the Apex XT is a great solution to carry everyone's bikes to the trails or on vacation.
I've linked a short review video of this rack for you to check out, as well as the other 5 bike carriers we've got available in case you're looking for something a bit different.
