Are there any issues here? My son has a small (maybe 16″ wheeled) bike. I imagine due to the short wheelbase, that this may not work on the likes of the Thule carriers. Any ideas?

I always managed with my daughters. Biggest issue was getting the grabber through a frame to reach down and grab the wee one’s frame, but always managed it. And once you’ve got the ‘order’ sorted once then take a picture with yer phone and keep it for reference 🙂

will be fine if the wheel carriers move.
Done it with 16 2 bikes
IME the more agricultural style [Pendle] ones works better for this

Cheers all. I’m looking at the Thule RideOn 9503 does this look like it will have moveable wheel carriers?

@ 5 mins and yes
