How does this rack fit womens and childrens bikes? Also how secure is it-does it bounce much?

We ordered the Allen crossbar adaptor for women's bikes, and it worked perfectly with this bike hitch. Didn't have any trouble with our daughter's bike, but it's possible that a cross-bar adaptor would work for that as well: Allen Sports Tension Bar Bicycle Cross-Bar Adaptor

There is no problem. Attaches very firm base and as you can hold recommendation tire so it does not move. regardsNo hay ningun problema. Se sujeta muy firme de la base y como recomendacion puedes sujetar de las llantas para que no se muevan. Saludos

There is an add on bar that you need for women's bikes, it works great. Haven't tried kids bikes though. I mostly haul my mountain bike and it's extremely sturdy on there. For really long trips I Bungy the lower frame to the trail hitch.

Probably not. It's an "OK" rack, but depending on the bike, as some of the reviews have noted, it hits the spokes. I would not trust it with kiddo.

It is difficult to get my girlfriend's bike on and off the rack. For the typical girl's or women's bike best to buy a horizontal bar that clamps to the bike, making it like a boy's or man's type bike. Then it is much easier to get a girl's bike on and off the rack. Take the bike off - remove the clamp - ready to ride!

The rack is very stable and does not move around. We take it on trips at highway speeds often without worry. The bike does not move at all, unlike our last rack where the bikes swayed a lot.

My wife's bicycle hanging just fine. Little crooked but stable. Same with my son's mounting bike

I was able to fit 1 men's & 1 women's bike without any problems. Make sure you hang them in opposite directions i.e. handle bars on one bike to rear wheel on the other and I used a small bungy cord on each set of wheels to keep them from moving. Make sure all straps are tight and you will have no problem traveling long distances with your bikes on the rack.

Yes, this rack works great with any size bike as well as boys and girls bikes. I haul my girls bike and 2 of my grandsons bikes with ease. I love the durability of this frame. The velcro straps for holding the tires in place could be better, so I replaced mine with heavier duty straps, but overall I love it.

It is very adjustable... I run two adult mtn bikes (26") and a kids bike on it. The 29" bikes might be a bit long for the slides it but they *should* work. It holds the bikes very nicely with the clamps and has wheel straps for the bottom.

I am very satisfied with the rack... It serves it's purpose.. I believe there is always a solution to the request you are asking .. I unfortunately do not have the knowledge or know how to accomplish that.. But I can state that I have four bikes(2) on each arm and have had no problems.. My wife would like me to anchor the rack to the wall in case it might crush our daughter .. I again have no knowledge to know how ... THULE The name you know ..!!

I bought my rack to hold a mountain bike and a heavy bmx and it works great would deff hold 2 of either bike, and not bad for the price

If you are reasonably careful, but the rack must be "securely" mounted to the wall. I normally have two bikes up, but at times I take the bottom one for a ride leaving the top bike still on the rack. It seems secure and has not been a problem. I would not trust it free standing..

It will hold kids bikes, however, it may take some creativity to fit it on the rack. For example my sons crossbar isn't long enough to cross both supports. I just have to rest the wheel instead. The bike is a little slanted, but it stays put just fine.

We fit kids', women's and a men's mountain bike on ours with just a little work to get them on. Once I figured out how to best get them on, they were secure for the entire trip.

I've been able to put up an adult bike and a child's bike on the rack. It's held them for several days. I believe there is a weight limit but I no longer have the box so I don't know what it is.

For the best fit and security, yes, essential. Some ladies bikes fit but angled. My wife's bike is an odd angle so did not fit any bike rack.
