Does Saris Guardian Bike Rack Require Use of Frame Adapter to Carry Kids Bike
Updated 12/15/2025 | Published 11/07/2024
Question:
Saris Guardian bike rack for two bikes with fixed arms Do I need a bike frame adapter bar to load a 20 inch tire children’s bike? And if I do, how much Does it cost? Are there other bike racks that would fit my 2018 Jeep compass and don’t require an adapter bar?

Hey Jutta, yes you would need a bike frame adapter bar like the part # Y02531 with a bike that small on the Saris Guardian bike rack part # SAR93FR. The price for this is down below.
We don't have a similar bike rack that doesn't require this adapter.

Hey Jutta, how did things go using the adapter bar with your child’s bike on the Saris Guardian rack? Your feedback could help others trying to carry smaller bikes on a similar setup.
