Hi guys. My seven year old has this bike
https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B01BM7IJ4I/ ... QRANNKPN18
The space between the handlebars and the seat is approx 15"
I can't fit the bike in my car anymore as I've downgraded size to a fiat 500 so I purchased a bike rack:
https://www.halfords.com/cycling/bike-r ... 39061.html
The problem is all of these bike racks require an adult sized frame to mount the bike. You can get a false crossbar but they're all a minimum of 23" and the bike only has 15" so they wouldn't fit on my son's bike.
Has anyone any experience or can anyone offer any suggestions for how I can mount the bike?
Thank you

Welcome.
Can you add a photo of the bike held against the rack?
Will the supports fit between the spokes so that the bikes can hang upside down from the wheels?

Re: Kids bike carriers?
I've carried kids bikes on carriers before. Depending on the bike, I have:
-Stuck the carrier through the wheels (carried upside down)
-hooked the saddle over one side and the frame over the other
-stuck the carrier through the frame & one wheel
-stuck the carrier through the frame, and between the frame and front wheel
Needless to say, this needs to be well-secured. I generally used at least a bike lock & a couple of extra bungee cords. I have often also had adult bikes in front to help secure a child's bike.
