Do kids bikes work on this rack? Specifically bmx style?

Yes should fit, you would need to mount a bit different as the BMX bikes are built differently

Havent used it with my kids bmx bike yet but im sure i could finagle it on there

No. They won't fit. The top bar on my bike (24" frame) is just barely long enough to fit on the carrier.

Yes it's possible, my wife and I both can do it. It's not super easy for my wife, and requires a place to lean the bike against. It will also depend on the size of your child.

Nope, not usually. Most of the time you can shift the other bikes a bit to lift bikes in the middle out. We are very happy with our Monkey Bar Rack.

Yes. I've uploaded photos of our setup with a 20, a 16, & two 12s, as well as a photo with showing how I have the bikes aligned in the brackets. I had trouble at first until I realized that the bikes need to have the fork and hub resting on a specific side of the bracket (the side with the gentler angle) so that the tires rest on the bottom of the rack, not the ground. The instructions don't make it obvious, so I didn't realize at first that I had things wrong. I eventually resorted to analyzing the photo on Amazon, to see how the rack was supposed to work. My 5 year old has no trouble putting her bike on the rack and the bikes are always out of the way now. Yes.

If you mean such as a Cruiser Bike I don't see a problem. I carry a mountain bike and that has fat tires. Hope this helps. You will love this rack.

you can twist them around and move them up and down they are not fixed to the poles. If you mean the poles themselves they are about 20 inches, fine for adult bikes but i don't think they would fit a kid bike.

havent tried but from what I have seen of other similar designs I believe you have to tilt the girls bike to match the diagonal slope frame 9on a girls bike) to the horizontal securing points of the rack. If you observe similar racks with a girls bike on (when you are driving around) you will see what I am referring to.....

It absolutely should not do that and it is dangerous (potentially deadly) to rely only on that strap. Is your rack properly mounted? It almost sounds like the front of it is not anchored to your bike frame. If you are unsure, please, PLEASE take your bike to a bike shop/mechanic before you ride with a child in there.

Not sure, sorry... note that there is a weight limit on the rack of 300Lbs so if you did add the bikes it may put you over that limit...

We have two electra townies that work fine on this rack. But we do use some extra padding so bikes don't rub together.

The bike rack we have is from WalMart, and it works with the bar. If you can put a boys type bike on your rack, the Allen bar should work for you.

The bikes on each "V" are right next to each other but you simply have each bike facing a different direction and there is not problem. Because the over the tire straps can be adjusted to different heights, there should not be an issue with size of bikes (adult or kids).

Yes. The only "problem" I've had is with my son's training wheels on his 16" bike. It is also a bit of a stretch to mount the bike on the frame, so I go through one wheel and the frame under the seat. Adding a bungee cord for security is also a good idea. But I have really transported two children's and one adult bike on this rack.

Yes. It should work. Basic kids bikes have pretty standard axle and hub sizing.

You could, but you'd have to find a way to keep it firm. The rack itself is solid, but the bike is suspended in two heavy plastic grooves. It can swing from side to side gently.

Probably. The racks that the tires fit in can move all the way to the center pole which should allow for the toddler bike. All the bikes I've used are 26" mountain bikes and I usually have 4 with me. You could probably fit the toddler bike in the trunk anyway - and they outgrow those quickly!! Good luck with it. I love this rack. It's been great.

I have two adult treck 29inch tire Marlins and I am able to fit both onto the rack but not a third bike, maybe a child's would fit, and I have noticed after two summers of heavy use there are spots that have rubbed the paint off both bikes.
