Bike Rack for our new S Max

Hope you can help. Yesterday we picked up our third brand new S Max. It's the Titanium Diesel Powershift model. We've had the factory fitted detachable towbar added and are now looking for a bike rack that can carry two adult bikes and two children's bikes - although at 9 & 11 the kids' bikes are not that much smaller than the adults.

I have been looking on line and there is talk about the fact that some of the tilting ones that go on the towbar don't tilt enough to get the S Max tailgate open. Also there is some talk of "nose weight" which I am clueless on what it means.

Does anyone have any experience with a good tow bar mounted rack for the S Max that can take four bikes?

Thanks for your help.

Steve
