Hi there.
Random question, but does anyone have a Saris Bones 3 bike carrier? And if so, do you know if I'll be able to fit a 16 inch wheeled Pinnacle child's bike?
Failing that...any ideas on a bike carrier that will take both adult and kids bikes?
Many thanks.

Usual limitation of rear carriers that you can't open the boot and the clips and straps needed a little bit of tightening a couple of times at stops en route.
Also need to jiggle a bit to align the bikes, eg to avoid the rear mech touching the front axle of the next bike, but not a big deal.
I used a couple of short straps to fasten the bars to avoid the front wheels moving.
We carried 2 adult road bikes and a Luath 26.
The way it is designed I can't see any reason why it wouldn't take even really quite small bikes. 16 inch shouldn't be any problem.
