Question:
I am looking for a hitch bike rack for my 2 kids bikes. They are 5 and 7 years old. Does the Swagman XTC2 Item S64670 adjust to accommodate kids bikes? Any other bike rack you can recommend? Thank you so much!

Hello Joanna. The Swagman XTC2 Bike Rack # S64670 can be adjusted down to a minimum 27-1/2"wheelbase, and it will work with wheels between 20" and 29" in diameter. Most kids bikes will have a smaller wheelbase and/or smaller wheels so the Swagman # S64670 is really not a great option for smaller kids bikes. I recommend going with a hanging style rack instead. The Kuat Beta # B202-2 is a great option for carrying two kids bikes. Depending on the size, you may need to use a Bike Adapter Bar like part # TH982XT.
