Question:
I need to know what to buy for carrying 2 kayaks on the roof of a 2012 Toyota Prius C. There is nothing on the roof as of now. There are too many options and I have no clue what would be the best, but not necessarily the most expensive Best options. Can you please give me some ideas.

In order to carry 2 kayaks on the roof of your 2012 Toyota Prius c you will first need to install a roof rack. Currently, the most economical option is a Rhino-Rack roof rack using the following parts:
2500 Series Roof Rack Crossbars, # RRVA106B-2
Feet, # RRRLKVA
Custom DK Clamps and Pads, # DK351
You could then use the Thule Stacker, # TH830, to carry 2 kayaks on the roof rack. I have linked a video review of the Stacker for you.
Be sure to consult the vehicle owners manual and/or Toyota to determine the weight capacity of the roof before loading.
