Expert Reply:

The Thule UpRide Roof Bike Rack - Wheel Mount - Clamp On or Channel Mount - Aluminum # TH599000 can carry children's bikes with wheels as small as 20" in diameter; as long as the bike you're wanting to carry has that diameter tire or larger you'll be just fine.

I'm not aware of a roof mounted bike carrier that will carry bikes with smaller than 20" tires, so if you've got a smaller tire on your children's bikes you may need to go with a trunk mounted carrier for that bike. I recommend using something like the Saris Guardian # SAR93FR, which is an economical and easy to install rack; you'll also need the # SA3035 to replace the top hooks to use this rack on your 2014 Audi Q5.
