For a great option for a bike frame adapter bar for your children's bikes, I recommend two of the Swagman Deluxe Bike Frame Adapter Bar for Women's, Children's, and Alternative Frame Bikes # 64005. This adapter bar comes with a telescoping tube that extends 24-3/8" to 33-3/4" to ensure a snug fit on most bikes. It is also compatible on all brands of bike racks that require its use. The adapter gives you a straight, horizontal plane needed to attach to your rack.

I have a much smaller kid's bike with only 13" of clearance between steering column and seat post. Trying to fit it onto a Yakima Fullback 2. Are there any really small bike frame adapters?
