    Difficult one, I have an Argos one for 3 bike and regularly put 4 on it, with lots of padding (Pipe Lagging) to stop scratching. I also have a double that fits on the hitch and get away with 3 on that.

    BTW Kids bikes are a pain as they are smaller and don't really fit any carriers.

    I think the safest way to go is for a towball and buy arack for that.
    I would carry 3 on a band on rack but would be very wary of 4.
    The 4 bike that I have is great and barely moves.

    Check out the thule range in halfords, there is a sale on at the minute but not as generous as a few weeks back.

    I got this one as part of CTW through Halford's. Whilst it might not hold 4 bikes, I'd recommend it as one that literally takes two seconds to clip on or off. Was a lot cheaper when I was looking though - only about € 130 during the summer (and half of that again due to CTW).
