The vertical one that mounts to a hitch sure would be safer than strapping a tandem sideways to the back of a small car.

The ATOC is made for square profile (old Thule/Yakima) bars. The Rocky Mounts rack might work or it can be bolted to certain cross bars but it is not longer made. The Ride 2 Tandem hitch rack is basically what I use with a fork mount. It would make for a shorter load for a smaller car.
