Adapter Bar for a Yakima FullBack on a 2022 VW Taos

Question:

Hello! I am looking at this bike rack for my VW Taos. I am a little worried bc our bikes are not mountain bikes they are more like city cruiser bikes Bianchi, Brooklyn Bicycles, and a kids Schwinn, and they dont have a straight bar across like a mensfoot bike has. Do you think they will still fit/work with this rack, or do I need to purchase that attachment bar to level them out? pictures of the bikes below, if it helps! Thank you so much for any advice you can offer!!

Thanks for the pictures! To use the Yakima FullBack item # Y02633 on your 2022 Taos you are going to need to use the Yakima Tube Top Bike Adapter Bar item # Y02531 for your Bianchi, Brooklyn Bicycles, and a kids Schwinn. The adapter adjusts from 14-1/2" - 31-1/2" long and is made specifically for female bikes or bikes with oddly shaped frames.

The Fullback item # Y02633 has a capacity of 35 lbs per bike or 90 lbs combined. I have linked a review video below.
