4 kids, aged 6/5/4/2.

Have Minivan. On it, had 2" hitch installed recently.

Eldest 3 ride bikes; youngest a trike.

Was looking at
Thule 5: http://www.thuleracks.com/thule/product.asp?dept_id=8&sku=951XT

LBS however recommends this type carrier; supposedly easier to carry kids bikes b/c bike connects w/ carrier via wheels, not odd shaped/sized frames of kids' bikes. http://www.sarisproducts.com/products/cycleonpro.htm

Any experience, ideas to share?

Softride makes a rack that looks pretty versital. Check out the ones that drop to the ground.
