SavvySassyMoms.com – Yakima FullTilt 5

When my kids were little, we used to pack suitcases, food bags and backpacks of books in the footwells of the backseat. But lately, I’ve noticed that both my kids — and their stuff — is getting bigger. Going on long trips with lots of gear is getting trickier. Where exactly do we store all this stuff??

Oh, I remember the days of slipping my boys’ bikes into the back of my SUV if we headed to the park or a playdate. Now their 20″ frames require a different storage solution. Since we have a family of five, we need a bike rack that can accommodate a small army of wheels. Lately we’ve been trying out the new Yakima FullTilt 5 bike rack that makes it easy to load up bikes and to access the trunk without removing them all with the tilt feature. The ZipStrips hold bikes of various sizes securely to the rack and the anti-sway cradle ensures your bikes aren’t banging against each other during the ride. Plus, it doesn’t hurt that it comes fully assembled. Just attach to your hitch, load up your bikes and you’re ready to hit the road!
