The JayLow carries one kayak on its side in the J position, or two boats upright as a stacker. A cam lever adjusts the upright, and it folds flat when empty. It arrives assembled, installs without tools, and fits Yakima StreamLine plus round, square, factory and aero bars.

Good to know

  • Note the minimum crossbar spread of 27.5 in, which is wider than many other Yakima carriers.
  • Add HoodAnchors if your car has no attachment points for bow and stern lines.

KayakDIY take: A J-cradle that doubles as a stacker gives you flexibility for one or two boats. For more transport gear, see my fishing kayak accessories guide.
