    Can anyone recommend a bike rack for kids bikes? They are 12 and 16 inch frames and most racks seem to only take bigger frame sizes.
    Itll be going on an octavia estate for camping trips with a roof box on top so they wont fit in the boot or on the roof. Id usually just pop them in the boot boot so dont want tonspend a fortune as itll only be used twice a year.
    Ive been looking at this one

    But it doesnt say if its suited to small bikes. It seems ideal as we can still access the boot if needed.
    Any advise on it or any others that would do? I only need it for the 2 kids bikes for now but down the line myself and the wife might pick up something cheap and cheerfull to go along with the kids so would rather something that will take 4 to save us buying again.
    Thanks a million.

    The prongs are a foot/300mm apart on my carrier, and I can get a bmx on them, Have to get one prong through the seat stays though.

    Mrs C's step-through bike is another problem though.

    Bike carriers tend to be made for adult bikes, but can usually be made to fit kids' bikes. Put one end through the rear triangle, or through a wheel. Or ask the OP on this thread how s/he got on:
