If you need to transport two pack-and-plays on your roof with dimensions of 13x13x33, I recommend the Yakima OffGrid Roof Cargo Basket - Steel - 75" Long x 49" Wide - 165 lbs # Y07139-09. The internal dimensions of the OffGrid are 68-3/4 inches long x (where curve starts) 42-3/4 inches wide x 5 inches deep. With these dimensions, you will be able to secure the pack-and-plays to the basket without any overhang as long as your vehicle can accommodate a bar spread of 50 inches. In order to make sure that your aero-bar system can accommodate this crossbar spread, I recommend measuring the spread from the maximum crossbars distance from front crossbar to rear crossbar on your vehicle.

Another thing to consider is the weight capacity. The maximum weight capacity of the OffGrid is 165 pounds. However, the weight rating for your 2010 Honda Fit might be less than 165 pounds. To make sure it is safe for travel, I recommend consulting your user's manual for the roof's weight capacity.

For securing the pack-and-plays to the basket, I recommend the Large Stretch Net for Yakima Roof Cargo Baskets - 45" x 38" # Y07081 as well as the Erickson Winder Ratchet Tie-Downs w/S-Hooks # EM57JR. These two accessories will make sure that your cargo will not shift or fall off the vehicle during transport.

For an enclosed cargo box that will fit your pack-and-plays, I recommend the Thule Motion XT Rooftop Cargo Box - 18 cu ft # TH629806 (black gloss) or # TH629807. The Thule Motion XT 18 has interior dimensions of 79 inches long x 31-1/2 inches wide x 15 tall. If you lay your pack-and-plays flat right next to each other, you will have enough room in the cargo box to carry them.
