For a 3 bike carrier confirmed to fit your 2012 Acura RDX, I recommend the Hollywood Racks Over-the-Top 3 Bike Rack for Vehicles w/ Spoilers - Trunk Mount - Adjustable Arms # HRF2-3. This bike rack is extremely adjustable and will hold in 6 points for a safe and secure transport. I've attached a video of this installation for you as well as a review of the components.
This rack is set apart by its high-ris frame to enable rack fits on hatchbacks and SUV's with or without spoilers. It has anti-sway cradles to secure the bikes so they don't come in contact with each other or your RDX. It can hold 3 bikes up to 35 lbs each.
To secure the rack to your hatch and the bikes to your rack, I recommend the 10' Long Cable Lock # e98891 and the Thule Passive Security Strap for Trunk Mounted Bike Carriers # TH533.
For your girls bikes and depending on the frame of the boy bike, I recommend the Swagman Deluxe Bike Frame Adapter Bar for Women's, Children's, and Alternative Frame Bikes # 64005. This creates a top frame rail between the seat post and the handlebars for level transport and increased ground clearance.
