Recommend, but know it's shortcomings
This bike rack has good points and bad points. It is extremely easy to set up and go. Folds down to practically nothing. Very easy for my slight daughter to use on her own without Dad's help. That said, it isn't the sturdiest of racks. You definitely aren't buying a Thule. The tie downs for the bike aren't clips, you have to thread and unthread loops to secure and then take the bike off. I would guess it is great for short trips at normal around town speeds. We are hoping the bike makes it securely from NY to Maine at highway speeds. It also would have been helpful to see the chart that is on the back of the box before we purchased (I've attached a photo of it here). My daughters car is not on the fit list and we had to do some fussing to get it to attach to metal on her car instead of the plastic spoiler on the MINI Countryman. Not the rack's fault, any rack of this type would have been attaching to plastic...which we should have looked at and known...our bad. I would recommend this rack despite its shortcomings, especially at this price point.
