Question:
My kids have a 2014 Honda Oddysey. A rack would need to carry 2 adult bikes, and 3 kids bikes for an 8, 5, and 3 year old. What would you recommend?

We can absolutely help you find exactly the bike rack they'll need to carry the whole family's bikes. In the event that they don't already have a hitch on their 2014 Honda Odyssey, one will be required to carry 5 bikes. I recommend using the Draw-Tite Max Frame Class III Hitch # 76025 which has a 2" hitch receiver since it will mount behind the bumper and install mostly hidden on the vehicle; the only visible part of the hitch will be the receiver, which also means that there's not a visible crosstube to reduce your ground clearance.
For the bike rack I recommend using the Hollywood Racks Road Runner 5 Bike Carrier for 2" Hitches - Tilting # HR520 which tilts away from the rear of the vehicle to allow access to the rear cargo area without having to remove the rack. I also really like that this rack comes with locks for both the bikes and the rack to the hitch, so everything will always be secure.
For the women's and children's bikes a bike frame adapter bar like the # 64005 in order to carry the bikes level; this is commonly required with hanging style bike racks like this, but they are the only available options for 5 bikes currently.
I've linked some review videos of these parts for you to check out, as well.
