How does this attach to the car? Can I put a car carrier on top of this rack?

It latches to the top of the car doors. Yes, I've been putting a cargo carrier on top without trouble

Small bracket on both right & left side attach to door jams. They screw down and create a clamping force. Yes you can attach a ski box to the cross bars. However the cross bars are not tubes ( so you can't use stanard "u" bolts. ) so you will need custom brackets ( 4 - 2 front & 2 back) long enough to span the cross section of the bar which is approx. 3 inches. These parts are available at most hardware stores.

It comes with clips so that you can attach the carseat carrier directly to the wheel base. I used a Peg Perego carseat with mine, it worked out perfectly.

I do not think so. You have to tie and hook the straps on a rack, something stable on top of your car.

I attached my kayak carriers onto it with no problem. They are not Honda racks. I don't know if this helps you or not. They are simply 2 bars that go across the top of the car.

Yes , it does . We bought it 3 years ago and still attached to our car ,no problem with it , no loose hardware or broken bars . We're very pleased with this rack.

Mine did yes. My car had a preexisting area for the racks built in, so this came with everything to connect it. I have j arms attached to mine. I love it.

A Camry! It doesn't attach to the car (any car). It's "seat belted" in (and I had a carseat safety technician install it) sorry if this wasn't helpful

Not that I am aware, and this has been a concern. We park the car backwards in the driveway so that the rack is up against the house (and porch light). There is a sturdy iron ring on the bottom portion of the rack, and I imagine you could secure this to the car's frame or trailer hitch with some sort of cable or chain.

You can use it without a car rack if you have some way of anchoring it to the top of the car, otherwise no.

it depends on the car. It can be strapped to the top of any car but depends on the size of the car inside that it might be difficult. It comes in one big box and you assemble it yourself. Hope this is helpful.

I don't know what a car cradle is, but I do use it with my cell phone/gps mount. I just flip it open and place it in the mount.

Get a roof rack installed. I used it on my Honda Civic (no roof rack) from Chicago to San Francisco and we were worried the entire time. There was a little ease of mind when we really strapped it down with some bungee cords. The clips that are used with this carrier would detach frequently and damaged the interior lining where they were clipped. So. Get a roof rack installed and get a real carrier. Sorry.

you would need the pieces on the roof of the car to attach the straps to or otherwise there is no way to keep it on your roof but i otherwise i think it would be fine on a car roof

It has a sort of web of straps. It attached to our Jeep which only has the side rails. You can switch the straps up to fit where they need, but I would recommend looking for a different product. The zipper on this broke as soon as we tried to open it.

It comes as a set of two racks. One in the front and one in the back so one purchase will suffice. I however, was unable to mount mine to my SUV because the factory roof racks are too large in diameter for them to attach. There may be a different adapter I could use but I haven't put forth the effort. It's still sitting in my garage unused. And I only live 3 hours from the Alps.

Hello. I use this rack on my KIA Sportage and am able to still open the trunk.

The rack has rubber feet. the only metal are clips that secure the straps to the car. The tension should keep them from moving.
