Expert Reply:

Curt 4 Bike Platform Rack # C18087 has adjustable ratcheting arms to secure bikes at their top frame tubes, but in cases where the bike has a step-through frame that sits too low for a good fit on the rack all you need is a simple adapter bar like # 64005.

Such adapter bars connect between the seat post and handlebar stem and they provide a substitute mounting surface for the rack's adjustable arm. This Swagman adapter is among the lowest-cost options but we offer many that appear on the linked page. The different bars have varying lengths so you might want to check the seat post to handlebar distance on the specific bike to ensure a good fit.
