Bike carrier,

Kids want me to take them to the forest with their bikes when I take the dog.

Funnily enough I am looking at bike carriers at mo too but roof mounted as do not have a tow bar.

No experience of the one you show but had a paddy hopkirk quick ball thing once and was so easy to use!

Yep I could fit them in but not with the 3 kids wife and Dog in the car.

Yeah I though about Roof mounted also the one you linked to but was not 100% taken with them, hence the towbar carrier.
