Amazon.com Product Description
Jump, jive, and wail all the way to your destination with Yakima's premier SwingDaddy four-bike hitch mount rack. Designed for families who treat their bikes (almost) as well as their children--along with racers and anyone else who demands the best things in life--the SwingDaddy offers topnotch bike protection, with a design that swings the bikes completely out of the way when you need to access the back of your vehicle. The SwingDaddy is also extremely secure while on the road, with sliding SwitchBlade anti-sway cradles that eliminate bike-to-bike contact. Perhaps best of all, the rack fits a wide variety of bike frames, from sleek racing models to bulky mountain bikes. Other details include protective arm padding, a TriggerFinger release that lets you fold down the arms when not in use, an integrated LockDown security cable, a RocSteady hitch tongue for stability, an integrated bottle opener, and a premium metallic powder-coat finish. Designed to fit 2-inch hitch receivers only, the SwingDaddy carries a limited lifetime warranty.

The idea of the swing out arm is awsome. However, the rack doesn't hold just any style bike. I have a cruiser that looks like a bike fronm the sixties or seventies and it does not fit on the rack. We had to buy a cross bar to put on my bike and lift it onto the rack. We haven't tried it yet. I think we may be sending this one back. We have a three yr.old and a 18 mo. old I don't need more things to do.
 Great! No Issues! June 10, 2010

This has worked out great for me! I have it installed on my Toyota Tundra 2" hitch and being able to drop the tailgate and move the bikes out of the way has proved invaluable in the 15 rides I have take the wife and kids on.
My youngest duaghter has a smaller frame (26") and I am using a Saris extension bar to be able to mount hers on the rack. Her bike sits a bit awkward but gets on easily.
I have a road bike (Canondale CAAD 9) and a Trek 1200 road bike, one has the cables over the main bar and the other unning underneath the main bar. The rubber straps simply slide "underneath" the cables where they run over the bar on the Trek 1200. On the CAAD 9, the cables are far enough apart that their is no issue and the bike fits nice and snug and does not mover or the fear of getting scratched. The fold down seat post clamp makes the whole thing very stable when using the 3 straps.
Just having the convenience of using my tailgate as a chair and being able to make adjustments or have the bikes out of the way or pulling out the grocery bags or anything else that has to go in the bed of the truck without having to remove the Yakima rack is a true blessing..
Overlall, It works great, too bad you can't get a 5th bike on it... In store prices for this Big Daddy is around $430-$460.. Amazon with Shipping (Amazon prime 2 day shipping) runs $363 at the time of this writing. The rack wighs 53 pounds to SHIP..(packaging etc)..
 Allows you to open rear door without taking rack off car! June 8, 2009

Think about it, most other racks prevent you from opening the back door with the rack mounted. That is a huge hassle. This rack is solid, works and swings out of the way either with or without bikes, to allow access to the rear door.

- an error in the first assembly instruction forced me to call the store to see how the hitch bolt and washers went in
- it's VERY difficult to screw in the swing-out arm each time you open it. the salesperson took over five minutes to do it, and it still took me three minutes on my 3rd try.
- the hitch pin lock doesn't fit with the cotter pin on [no biggie, but the instructions say to put the pin on first]
- it includes two tools that fit the arm bolt, but not one for the hitch bolt
- although the Yakima book said it would fit on my 2007 Toyota RAV4, it didn't [because of the external spare tire], so I had to get an extension piece for the hitch or return the rack [which I did, so I can't tell you how it actually works. the salesperson said it works well, but that you can only get 3 bikes on it]
- the built-in cable bike lock doesn't slide into its slot, so 15" of it sticks out
