Can Yakima FourTimer Bike Rack Hold Kids Bikes

Question:

Will this be able to hold adult bikes as well as a kids 14 bike with a traditional kids frame? It has a slight slant to it, measuring at ~16inch off the ground at the center of the crossbar.

The Yakima FourTimer 4 Bike Platform Rack # Y02469 will work with a kid's bike because it has wheel cradles that slide in order to adjust to different bike sizes, and its ratcheting hooks adjust downwards along the masts to reach the tubes of the frame on a kid's bike. You will want to put the kid's bike on the inside of the outer part of the rack because that hook is attached lower to the mast than the hook on the opposite side.

I've added links to a couple video reviews of this rack for you to take a look at.
