Not sure about the dog, but I don't think you can let the kids ride up there.

Besides those two: there is the safari, and I believe rugged ridge. I looked into these guys

As they do make some kick butt racks: but the price was close to $1700 IIRC (with shipping).

I went with the Garvin and couldn't be happier.

Yakima makes a kit called the sportbar kit that allows the crossbars to mount on the rollbar but then you have to take it off when you put your top back on. I use Yak Tracks bolted to my Freedom Top in the winter with Q Towers and 66" crossbars.

Not positive, but I think they are a retailer for Wild Boar racks.
