You may need a bar adapter like this: http://www.amazon.com/Allen-Sports-Tension-Bicycle-Cross-Bar/dp/B000ELSSZE/ref=pd_sim_sg_7?ie=UTF8&refRID=03DC759J06JV4N1GY54C It depends on the geometry/size of the bike frame.

You can buy a bar adaptor, I did it for my wife's bike and it work well on the Thule Vertex

We put on 2 children's bikes (20" and 16") in addition to 2 adult bikes. They did not fit on the larger triangle but we were able to manipulate it on. We put one part of the children's bike (main frame) on and the rubber latches secured the bikes in place. We drove over 1,000 miles in April on a road trip and had no issues at all. The swing arm works well.

Two options: Either get creative, or buy an adapter.I used to be able to get my daughter's beach cruiser on by getting the rear wheel way up high. It wasn't pretty, but it worked. For longer trips I decided to get a couple of adapters that create a cross bar that will make it easy and solid. I bought the Swagman cross bar adapter, but there are plenty to choose from.

only if the children's bike has pedals with removeable amber reflectors on them. I had to remove my "plastic" pedals, go to Walmart and purchase new pedals that were metal with the removable amber reflectors. you mount these clips using the supplied screws that come with the strapless toe clips. Pretty simple. any questions just email me at bassinbill42 AT Yahoo dot com. good luck and have fun.

Hi! I wanted to do exactly the same thing but the current design does not allow for it because the wheels are on the inside of the frame, so I drilled new holes on the other sides and put the wheels on the outside. Works great now! Hope that makes sense.

I would call it normal full range bike rotation. You can turn them and jack knife if the child is learning but my daughter quickly compensated.

Get one and see how they like it first. It's an amazing bike. You could always buy another, they learn so quick on it! The older child might be ready for the real bike after a summer.

Michael, I can tell you the bike is about 85% to 90% assembled. You will have to put the seats in, the handlebars on, and the front tire on, and screw in the pedals, but other than that, it comes as one piece. Without knowing how your child seat mounts, I can't say about that. Look at the expanded photo and make that call. What I can tell you is that having never ridden one of these before, my wife and I have had to learn how not to fight each other when trying to balance. Each "correction" she makes, throws off my balance. Adding a child seat to that mix would make me nervous. You might consider one of those trailer addons that hook on to the seat pole and ride behind the rear wheel. Michael, I can tell you the bike is about 85% to 90% assembled.

Hello there, i didn't know your bike so i had to google a image, from the pictures I'm not sure the child's feet will reach the peg that you strap to the down tube, i recommend contacting tyke toter for their advice. I cautiously say no.

Type "Adie Universal Stabilisers Extension Bolts For 12" - 20" Wheel Kids Bikes" into the Amazon.com search engine. They ship from overseas so it takes a while to get them. The extensions are an easy fix. A better but more difficult solution is to replace the rear axle shaft with a longer one. A 17 cm long shaft with 10 mm threads solved the problem on my grandson's 20" Huffy. Don't try this one unless you are mechanically inclined.

Kelly - didn't think about gearing up my kids bikes with the toe clips. Thanks for the idea.In my case, I have a 6 and 11 year old and both of their bicycles have reflectors that cover the entire pedals. The pedals are made of hard plastic so I think with a drill and a bit of TLC I should be able to fix them on.

This is an 'older' child bike. If your kiddo needs training wheels, I would personally go with a smaller frame and one with wheels included. :) This is more of a bike for a kiddo who has been riding without training wheels. :)

Go to a regular bike shop, the wheel size is standard for a children's bike.

You push them on and they kind of lock in place. Not welded or screwed in. I really like this frame. I have a queen serta icomfort intellectual with boxspring and I am a heavy guy, and it works great. Frame is really sturdy.

Depends. I was able to mount my wife's upside down. My daughter's bike barely fit the regular way. So I was able to get them on without issue, but a converter bar might have been easier for my wife's.

You just lift the bike up an slide over two hangers. Hangers go through wheels. Then secure clips.

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.....

You could try using tube clamps to help adapt to your frame. It would eliminate the need for drilling into the frame.http://www.bikebagshop.com/rack-accessories-c-89.htmlRegards, Dean
