Expert Reply:

If your Rollators can fold up relatively flat then they could be placed on a trunk mount bike rack on your 2014 Kia Soul. I recommend going with a model that is designed to carry up to 3 bikes because there will be more space. I recommend the Hollywood Racks Over-the-Top rack # HRF2-3 because it will work with or without that little spoiler piece at the top of the hatch on the Kia Soul. Keep in mind that trunk mount racks are not tested for use with Rollators.

The other option is to install a hitch, # 24915, and then add a cargo carrier, # C18110, and strap the Rollators to it using basic ratchet straps such as # 34413.
