We can put our luggage stuff up there, and then do bikes/stroller in the car for now. Our needs are going to be changing so much in the next few years that it makes more sense to invest less money now. I realized we'd have to install a trailer hitch on the van for most of the compatible multi-bike racks, which puts this at way more money than its worth investing in!</p> <p>i cannot believe i'm a person who is outgrowing a minivan. my younger self is just shaking her head in judgmental silence. in my defense, its literally once a year that this problem arrises (so far). </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/bikeextra-storage-for-minivan#post-2832933 Mon, 09 Jul 2018 15:37:02 +0000 birdofafeather 2832933@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We don’t have a van but use a rooftop cargo carrier and a bike rack for camping trips when we need more storage. My parents plan on borrowing both these items for their van when we go camping this summer. We have a Yakima carrier and a Kong trunk bike rack that I don’t see available anymore. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/bikeextra-storage-for-minivan#post-2832601 Sat, 07 Jul 2018 11:27:58 +0000 Silva 2832601@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>what kind of extra cargo/bike storage do you have for your minivan?</p> <p>We are not hardcore bike people but at least one a year we go on a trip where we want to bring kids bikes, a double stroller, etc. and when our kids are older we probably do some tent camping trips which are also gear heavy.</p> <p>Next summer we will have a third kid, so we will need to leave a seat in the back row down. So far we can get everything in when the third row is down but soon we will lose that option. </p>
