Can Yakima HoldUp Bike Rack Hold Kids Bikes

Updated 05/14/2019 | Published 05/13/2019

Question:

Will this be able to hold adult bikes as well as a kids 14 bike with a traditional kids frame? It has a slight slant to it, measuring at ~16inch off the ground at the center of the crossbar.

The YakimaHoldUp 4 Bike Platform Rack # Y0243-2 will work with a kid's bike because it has wheel cradles that slide in order to adjust to different bike sizes, and it is a wheel-mounted rack so the shape of the frame on a kid's bike will not be a problem. It could, however, interfere if any of your bikes have fenders on them.

I've added links to a video review of this rack for you to take a look at.
