Question:

Hello, I currently have a Thule Parkway. I am ordering new Stay Put Cradles 853-7887 to replace my broken ones. However, I do not like the design of the Anti-Sway cradles that hook on to the bottom of these cradles - I have broken 2 already. Im wondering if the 753-3530 Anti-Sway cage is wide enough to go around the Stay Put Cradles 853-7887. I know they are 1inch bars so they should fit in that regard, but I dont know if the sway cage is wide enough to go around the Cradles. I know I could go to the T3 cradles to solve this issue, but I like the Stay-Put cradle design from the Parkway better. Let me know. Thanks!

Helpful Expert Reply:

The Replacement Stay-Put Cradle part # 853-7887 is the correct replacement cradle for your Thule Parkway bike rack. The only style of anti-sway cage that I can recommend for use with this cradle would be the Replacement Anti-Sway Cage # 853-7758.

If you like the Replacement No Sway Cage # 753-3530 the only way to use it would be to go with the T3 Replacement Cradle part # 853-5829. This is an excellent cradle that I know would work well for you, plus it would let you upgrade to the anti-sway cage you like.
